Many Ackroyd's customers are accustomed to Fern Cakes. Bakewell Tarts are just like Fern Cakes, except ours have more almond flavor. We start with a 4" Wick's Pie Shell (contains lard), fill it with strawberry jam and almond cake, and finish it with a layer of handmade icing and toasted slivered almonds. Each Bakewell Tart can easily serve 2, meaning there are 8 servings per 4 pack.
These Bakewell Tarts were delicious and perfect with a cup of tea and reminder of home in Scotland. They were always a big favorite when visiting the bakery.
These tarts were so big I cut them in half to last longer with my tea times haha
Thanks, Carol Anne! We definitely think these are an excellent tart. We have been making our own cake flour mix, amped up the almond flavor, and started using locally made jam and tarts shells. We appreciate your kind words!
