Mandarin Orange Tarts 柳橙塔
Time really flies, today is already the last day for April’s Little Thumbs Up – Orange Theme. I want to thank everyone who participated in this event, sharing your amazing creations and recipes. Tze of Awayofmind Bakery House is our next host for May’s Little Thumbs Up – Milk Theme. Please continue to share your recipes using milk in the ingredients to support Tze and Little Thumbs Up.
Here is last my last post ~ Mandarin Orange Tarts for Little Thumbs Up – :Orange Theme.
These cute little tarts were made of sweet crust pastry and tangy of orange custard. They were wonderful and tasted delicious with some mandarin orange garnish. You can make the crust pastry and shape it into tart shells a day ahead, keep refrigerated. As for the filling this can be done the following day. They look very impressive and is a perfect treat to serve at a birthday party or any other occasion.

this is an absolute piece of art! so 喜气洋洋! just like the LTU you are hosting… ultra successful! 恭喜恭喜哈!
Thank you, Victoria and your support to LTU too!
Hi Ann!What a time I've been having commenting on your blog. It must be the version of Safari that I'm using. I saw your refreshingly beautiful Blackberry and Orange Salad this morning and for the life of me I just couldn't comment. It really was so "purty." This time I closed network blogs to if it worked. It may have. Anyway, now that I finally have the opportunity to tell you just how charming these Mandarin Orange Tarts are, I'm speechless, lol…They really are gorgeous Ann. What a delight it would be just to have one by my side:) Thank you so much for sharing, Ann…
Hi Louise, Thank you for your compliment. I've the same problem as you when trying to comment on some bloggers' blog using Safari. I think we need to sign in to blogger.com on Safari before leaving comment.

HI Ann, sorry that I didn't post enough of orange recipes on your LTU! Looking at the last picture only made me realise that it was the mandarin orange that was topped on the mini tart! I thought was the curd or jam which look like the pineapple tart, you know what I meant? They look beautiful!
