While a towering cake is breathtaking, it lacks cuteness, not to mention how your precious piping gets smooshed as you cut out your guest`s pieces.
Miniature cakes, pies, and even mini-cupcakes are dainty, and pre-portioned. They can be seen almost as an elegant part of the table setting when placed in each guest`s seat.
Today I decided to make miniature fruit tarts, with half being filled with strawberry, and the other half being cassis-filled. They are for an acquaintance with whom I shall be working today, and it is customary for me to bring sweets! In the mood for something pie-like, a tart or pie would be hard to carry, and may be too big or overwhelming to hand over to a single person.
So, Teeny tarts it is!!! Its easy, I just made a simple pie crust (but added brown sugar and cinnamon ;D ) and used foil cupcake liners and a cupcake pan. The filling was made out of jam, and on top I did cutout crusts.
Fun variations could be
-cookie crust with a mousse filling
- chocolate crust with a truffle filling
- no crust and no filling because your`re dieting.
