Hi Yummy Bakes, DG and Sonia,
Thanks. :)
I'm always so jealous of people who can decorate their tarts so beautifully - yours look really beautiful with the different fruits and colors!
Hi Janine,
Don't be jealous, you can try this out too. Happy baking. :)
I like how there's almond meal in the dough. Yogurt sounds healthier than custard too! Thanks for sharing!
