Biggest Disappointment Ever - Strawberry Tart -

Strawberry Tart Yes, the strawberries were so tart…! It was unbelievable because they looked so ripe and beautiful in the pack, and they were quite expensive, too. Being inspired by the strawberry waffle cone ice cream I bought the other day, I decided to make a dessert myself using plenty of strawberries before the end of this holiday week. I wanted it to be special, so I chose the expensive strawberries. Imagine how furious I was when I tasted one and found it sour! Another disappointment was the custard cream. It was baked in the shell, and when cooled, its texture turned out to be like rubber. Did I put too much flour? I only used the required amount, but yes, I did use all-purpose when the recipe called for cake flour... The whipped cream didn’t really help much. What helped the most was probably the photo-retouch software I downloaded today. It compensates for the limited functions of my very old-fashioned digital camera and makes my food photos look much better. These 2 photos were originally much darker, but some retouches gave them a better look. My conclusion: it must have been much easier and tastier if I simply ate those strawberries with loads of condensed milk :(
