We made large pies...
And mini pies...
This is a fresh fruit tart with a chocolate crust, filled with pastry cream and chantilly cream, then garnished with fresh fruit and glazed to give it a beautiful glossy finish.
This is a beautiful lemon meringue pie. (I have decided that I "need" to add blow torch to my Christmas list this year. Browning these meringues was just way too fun!)
This is one of my faves and one that I was able to work on from start to finish during class - Key Lime Pie!
This is the Pear Frangipane with its pear slices so strategically placed. Almost too pretty to eat. (Notice how I said, "almost".)
Today was a great day! Filled with lots of good eating!
Wow! Those are absolutely stunning! I love the way the meringue looks when it's piped! Beautiful!
