Tarts From Croquembouche Patissirie

Sorry about being away for so long. I've been down and out with a crazy flu for a week now, and only just starting to get better.

So let's get on with it! And check out these glorious looking tarts from Croquembouche Patissirie. Definitely not the run of the mill offerings. Add a nice green salad and some grilled chicken and you’ve got a nice, easy and delicious dinner or lunch. Or whack them in the oven for tasty afternoon tea (note: tea not necessary).


The tarts look deceptively rich; I would instead describe them as ‘satisfyingly flakey’. The base is dead thin and really lets the toppings do the talking. The tomato tart is based on oven-roasted tomatoes and a strong hit of basil and garlic, with not much else. Which is fine by me.

The potato version is denser with the extra starch but the slices of potato have been well crisped, and the rosemary helps cut through all the carbs. They’re both based on classic flavour pairings, and work well. A bit of extra salt is all you might need to add, depending on how you like it. They're great for entertaining guests, look stunning, and leave you content and satisfied.

This place rocks. We got our wedding cake made here - a croquembouche and the chouix were delicious!

I always wondered what their food was like, having never been there before. I think might go and check them out.

Thanks for dropping by!
Not sure what the rest of their food is like, but from the impressions I get and what I've heard, it's pretty good. Tell us what you think!
