Description:

I get to see an apple tart image on one of a foodie groups that I am a member of which leaves me awe struck to think how on earth do people make such exotic stuff from a home kitchen. My mind goes on to say ” she must be having all the possible high end equipments required for such results “. After a few months time, I get to see a video where they made roses out of apples. It looked so easy and lovely. I immediately tried it out with my regular tart base and the apple rose’s on top. I could not believe that I made these beauties. They looked so very fancy, like what I gazed on from the roads of Paris into all the pastry shops there.( gosh, enough of self praising yourself..he he at times I just have to do it to lift myself more ) well, come on all, give these apple rose tarts a try and lift yourselves too.
