I’ll freely admit – I have a bit of a sweet tooth..
Covered in Icing and Filled in with Custard – An ideal treat
Ice Buns, Chocolate Eclairs, Apple Pies, Chocolate Pudding – I’ll try the lot – if its a pie its even better with custard
However – My favourite pudding is Bakewell Tart
A Sweet Tartlet Base with Thick Raspberry Jam at its base and covered in an Almond Cake or sponge. Really nice pudding that finishes off a meal wonderfully…you could add cream or custard but I like it as it is. Full of almonds and lovely and moist
There are those who prefer the cherry variation of the classic – this is on sale from a well known baker, and covers the top of his tarts with fondant icing. Decoration is nice to look at – but when in Bakewell, one sticks to tradition – abandoning the fondant…leaves the eater with only one conundrum – Custard or Cream ?

During my photography lessons at BASIC in Salford, We’ve been Concentrating on the sweet stuff…I’m partial to a doughnut or two – so the concentration level has been at a maximum….The pics we’ve generated will be used in BASIC’s café – “Food For Thought”…
Not one food item was consumed in the production of this (wipes cream from chin) #post #sic
One of the cakes in BASICs Café – Food for thought – A scrummy Strawberry Tart.
In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Treat.”
Another silver winner – a tale of a strawberry – enjoy!

I started life,
all green, not red
I was difficult to find
amongst the pansies
mistaken for leaves.
Gardening Folk,
smiled at me.
II
I grew in the warmth
of a summer sun
My colour changed
a brilliant red.
Signals for gardeners
time for the picking
III
I was thrown in a basket
and headed for the coast
whilst others saw pans
and ended on toast
or in cases as tartlets
a tasty bake
IV
Resplendent, Rich and Red
taken from my soily bed
washed and dressed, in dairy cream
a treat at wimbledon
a strawberries dream
V
Whilst others picked on the day
went another confectionery way
they ended up in sugar & cream
too pleasing, but alas
ended up – in a place that is freezing!
