We took a sample box of cupcakes and brownies to some cafes a while ago, so that they could taste how scrumptious they are and flood us with orders. And it's started to happen!!
House which is a small art gallery + cafe, on Camberwell Church Street, is going to try opening in the evenings, and they wanted more dessert-like baked goods to accompany the new opening hours. So we are going to supply them with a selection of tarts.
We've baked various pies and tarts before but we wanted to try this gorgeous recipe out, for a pear and almond tart, or pear frangipane tart, as I like to call it.
Katie and I couldn't agree on which pear to put in the tart. I wanted to put in conference pears, and Katie wanted to use dessert pears... so we mixed them up. Once poached in syrup they were both squidgy and nice but conference pears came out yellow and transparent, and dessert pears came out more opaque and creamy coloured. But we can tell you that they both work equally well. (or my choice works better)
So next week we'll be baking the same tart for House Gallery for the 23rd, if we can agree on a pear to use. If you're in the neighbourhood, you should pop in and have a slice, and tell us what you think!
