Hi, I'm Chef Mercedes. I'm a graduate of the French Culinary Institute/International Culinary Center's classic pastry arts program. Currently I do not work in the food industry so I use this blog to share my love of eating and passion for baking with the world. I hope you’ll enjoy what I have to share about baking and that I’ll inspire you to bake as well.

Brioche Fruit Tart
This free form fruit tart resembled a sweet pizza. The brioche dough was used to make the crust, pastry cream was spread over it like sauce, and apricot pieces were put on top like cheese or other toppings. The whole thing got baked until the crust was baked through and, voila, a really impressive and pretty simple tart. To decorate it, we spread the top with nappage (basically heated, thinned, apricot jelly) and topped it with toasted almonds (which we also chopped and pressed along the crust.) Yum!
