Cindy, my ex-BBC and then Tripadvisor client (yes, she engaged me for projects when she was leading the regional sales teams at both) has been operating @mood_bites, a home-based bakery business for a while. And she was kind enough to send me a box of her tarts to try.
Elegantly oblong in shape, the pastry crust which was a little on the thick side, tasted fresh and buttery and packed a satisfying crunch. It paired scrumptiously with the assorted fillings she filled each with.
The prettiest and most feminine looking tart award has to go to the Rose Panna Cotta and Lychee which was decked out in pearly lychee boba (pearls) and pistachio for loads of textural fun.
A perk of picking the Berries Delight has to be getting to choose between having the fresh, juicy fruit arranged on a filling of vanilla mousse or a slightly savoury cheese. I chose the former and enjoyed it very much,
Inspired by her favourite drink, Cindy’s Yuzu Meringue Tart was a burst of luscious bright sunshine. If you adore sour citrus desserts, this would be perfect for you.
It’s really hard to pick a favourite from the four tarts but if I had to, the Dark Chocolate with Candied Hazelnuts would be it. With crisp wisps of caramel spun over the top, it spelled decadence with a capital D.
