Apple Tarts Anyone!?

We're going to turn this into a family food blog for a couple of posts. I'm sure no one minds! This weekend was the International Food Fair at ISB. What a party! It's a big, big fundraiser for the PTA, and I think they raked it in this year. This being my first year, I had no idea what to expect. But it was somethin' else!

Lots of delicious food from all over the world filled the gymnasium- no one left disappointed- unless you were one of those that worked a booth or table the whole time and missed out on most of the actual eating. But, there's always next year.

D and I volunteered to bring homemade apple tarts. I found cute, little, aluminium tart pans (with lids !) and D, Tess, and I set to work on Saturday morning.

Pastry! Different working with shortcrust in this humidity, but we got it!

Mixing the flour, sugar, and spices.

Tess on apple duty.

Fill those babies up!

D got to decorate, not with sprinkles as she requested...

but with little apple cut-outs for the top.

C could also participate... at a separate table... with Pla-doh. Love him to pieces, but not underfoot while baking.

Almost ready to bake. Packaging for delivery!

Baked 70, donated 69. The kids and I handled the mandatory quality control.

So pleased (and cute)!

Mmmmmmmmmmm!

Loved having D and Tess to make the day so fun and rewarding! Also lovely to watch them all sell at the food fair!
