This week's TWD recipe was a choice between an Orange Tart, and a Lemon Tart. Since I knew I'd be bringing it to work, I took a vote, and Orange was chosen (though I was really hoping for lemon!) This recipe was good, but it tasted a bit buttery to me (which isn't shocking because it contained 2 3/4 sticks of butter!) The process seems to be long, but it only took me maybe 30 minutes, not so bad.
I did things a little different from Dorie, I made my tart shell, then my filling, and instead of putting the filling in the fridge and then the next day filling the crust, I just poured it right in to set. I took the leftover filling and put it in the fridge, then I put it in a piping bag the next day, and piped little borders. I also used orange segments to garnish. The crust was delicious!
Overall, I enjoyed this, but I did think it was a bit buttery in texture.
Usually, I get TWD recipes typed up and mailed to me, haven't gotten one yet, so if I don't I'll type it up tonight!
Great idea piping the little borders, so cute!
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with it!
ReplyDeleteYour tart looks lovely. It turned out perfect! I love the piping! I had a few problems with mine, but I think I sorted it as best I could! It was very tasty regardless!!
ReplyDeleteO hmy gosh, this is sooooooo delicious looking!
ReplyDeleteany other TWD girls not get the email, or did i just delete it? thanks :)

ReplyDeleteThe whipped cream looks lovely on your lemon tart!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I made the lemon so I'll have to try the orange now, you made it look so tasty.

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely tart, the piping and orange segments really make it look professional!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so pretty! I found it to be a bit buttery too, but still delicious!
ReplyDeleteI made the lemon tart, and I thought it was a bit too buttery, until I let it sit for a while, and then the flavors melded. I LOVE your decorations!
ReplyDeleteYour tart looks delicious! Mine didn't set up as well as yours did. And, I love the idea of piping a border with the leftovers!
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous garnish!
ReplyDeleteI agree on the buttery flavor, I could have used less as well.
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderfully yummy!
ReplyDeleteI love how you decorated it! I'm going to have to try the orange one day.
ReplyDeleteI was horrified by the amount of butter as well, but I think the lemon ended up cutting through the butter a bit - you need to try the lemon as well!
ReplyDeletehey, that's a pretty tart, great job!
ReplyDeleteThe piping is stunning!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely tart!
Beautiful piped border. And I love that your office got to vote for their preferred sweet treat this week.
ReplyDeleteGuess you'll have to try the recipe again with lemon this time. Great job.

ReplyDeleteLooks like a great tart! Hope everyone enjoyed it at work!
ReplyDeletei love the piping! so cute! my cream was too thick to do that - it's so interesting to see how the recipe yielded so many different textures.
