We have a buffet project due on Thursday. Last day of class, whoop whoop!!!! We are in groups of 5, there are 5 different categories and we have to make 16 servings per item. I am make 16 mini fruit tarts. Today I decided to make them here at home to practice. We have a written final Wed. morning and then the rest of Wed. we can bake everything and prep everything we need. On Thursday we have 1 hour to finish up any last minute touches and set up our display. Now I have been out looking for little tartlet pans and damn they are pricey!!! So I got a cupcake pan, I thought I could at least get the idea of flow and the time it will take to do this. I cut up some strawberries and kiwi. On Thursday I will have pineapple too. I just didn't want to buy a whole pineapple and I only need maybe a quarter of it. I took some pictures throughout the process.
Creaming of butter, sugar and lemon zest for Pate Sucree
Whisking of eggs, cornstarch and sugar for Pastry cream
Milk and sugar to a boil for pastry cream
Pate sucree rolled out and placed in cupcake pan
Baked pate Sucree
What I ended up with
Not too bad considering I didn't have the correct equipment
I think they are cute
The ones on Thursday will look better, I will have access to tartlet pans
I like how you did the step by step and your finished product looks so edible!!! It might be dangerous living close by...I would want to try everything!
