| My sample Tarte Tropézienne with the book that Dorie later autographed. |
I didn't take many pictures when I baked this time, but here is the beautiful brioche dough, the lovely--albeit not perfectly round-- cake out of the oven, and the finished product. I loved using the pearl sugar which somehow made this look unusually special.
Interestingly, not long after I baked this I was in a fancy local bakery and saw tiny slivers of Tarte Tropézienne being sold for $4.50! They looked good, but I found myself feeling quite satisfied that I had baked this lovely dessert myself.
To see what other Tuesdays with Dorie bakers had to say about this recipe, check out the Tuesdays with Dorie web page.
I loved this recipe and what a treat to see Dorie and taste her tarte! Makes me realise how much I miss out living so far away in Australia :) I made the choc cake this week but preferred the tarte.
ReplyDeleteWe loved this one too. How fun that you had a taste of it first while meeting Dorie.
ReplyDeletehow cool that you got to sample this from dorie herself! i bet this was delicious--i skipped it this month, but will have to come back to it for a rewind.
ReplyDeleteYour tarte looks perfect and how fun that you got to try Dorie's own version of it too, I've often wondered what that would be like..
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice memory of Dorie's book tour. Your cake came out perfect. It is nice to know that you can cook better than what is in the bake shops.
