The importance of Decorating Tarts

You have probably heard this before, but the decoration of the tarts is everything.

The presentation of this pastry tells a lot about its baker. It shows us the quality and effort put into the creation.

This class teaches its pupils how to decorate a tart with toppings such as thinly sliced strawberries, kiwis and mangoes laid out symmetrically.

Making a savoury tart (Quiche Lorraine)

Apart from sweet tarts, students also learn to make delicious pies such as Quiche Lorraine.

Bacon, Swiss cheese and onions mingle in perfect harmony amidst the eggs and cream in this timeless classic.

The shell of the quiche uses the same ingredients as the sweet tart-minus the sugar of course. 

The students will use a large skillet to fry the bacon pieces.

These deliciously fried bacon strips are later chopped into tiny pieces to be spread out on the shell.

Chopped onions, Grated cheese and a layer of light cream are perfect ingredients to garnish and top the quiche.
