I baked these mini fruit tarts for my colleagues and really gald that they like it :)
It's been quite sometime since I last baked something for them and since it's a Friday, having a little treat for them seems fabulous.
Supposed to top the tarts with peach slices too but I think I cut the strawberries and kiwi fruit a tad too huge. No space to squeeze in the peach. Lol. I tried one myself and really like the custard cream. DIY custard cream is so yummy!  http://thekwoks-viewfinder.blogspot.com/2008/03/mini-fruit-tarts.html
