This tart looks so awesome. So many kudos for Okapi1895. ♥

SCFrankles mentioned the Epiphany Tart to one of my posts, and I just had to bake one for today, as well. Will post on my journal.

It is impressive.

Looking forward to seeing yours, too.

Agreed... where is this tart?

[okapi1895.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Yours looks so nice too. Tarts for everyone!

This is brilliant. Seven jams. Gorgeous pastry work.... worthy of the Great British Baking Show.

Many happy returns, old man! (Whispers) I'll just bring along a nice chocolate cake as well - I'm sure a Jan. 6 birthday observer has eaten enough Epiphany Tarts to last a lifetime ... Says the woman with a birthday just off of Valentine's Day and grew up eating pink heart-shaped cakes.

Ah, but this way he's encouraged to share and not eat the lot by himself ;)

I think Mr. Holmes looks splendid for 129! Happy Birthday!

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

He has aged remarkably well, all things considered.

Happy birthday Mr. Holmes. You wear your age lightly!

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

Practically immortal.

[tripleransom.livejournal.com]

Well, I suppose it's always 1895!

What a great idea - and a great tart. I bet it didn't long survive the photographing.

Even Holmes wouldn't be able to keep his famed impassivity..

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

I am sure you are right!

[okapi1895.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's all gone now. Luckily my little vultures saved me some of the middle (blackberry) because it's my favorite.
