Berries and Crème pâtissière tart





First of all I want to thank all mails and messages that I got from you.I never tough that would be so many compliments, really. 



The meeting was fun and we stayed until 4 am.In fact was very good. Everybody loves the food and my  stuffed cherry tomatoes were the first to ended up.

 

I made two tarts and buy three more cakes. One that I bake was this berries and crème pâtissière tart . my version of a strawberries tar that I ate and loved in Sao Paulo. The other one was a scented orange mascarpone cheese cake. It's a pity, but no one bit left, even to take a photo- So.it will be for the next
