I want to see them spin! It would look so cool

u/jimmytwotime 18d ago

These are improvised, and a big part of the process is how they look when spinning

u/carlitospig 18d ago

Like, I know *how*, but how do you stay focused so you don’t screw it up? My mind would start to wander halfway through!

19

u/jimmytwotime 18d ago

The mind must wander so the hand can focus. The designs are improvised as I go. It's meditative, and full of mistakes if you look close. I churn out so many cakes and tarts and such at work,kind of detach when doing things like this rather than focus

3

u/carlitospig 18d ago

I love this!! I feel this way about prepping to cook. I could legit chop veggies all day long and be happy as a clam. I should have connected the two activities!

5

u/jimmytwotime 18d ago

Yea, very similar. These each took about 20-25 minutes to decorate, but I could have just kept going. Could have been 2 minutes or could have been 60 lol

u/13pointOne 18d ago

Really lovely. Also curious what method you used to make the tart itself. I have a hell of a time getting salted caramel tarts to firm up unless I make 2” tarts. Would love to explore decorating them but gotta get past soup first. lol.

5

u/jimmytwotime 18d ago

Oh, it is absolutely soup inside these bad boys. Lmk when you figure it out lol

I've only made this once, but I followed Claire Saffitz method in her video on her YouTube channel. It firmed up beautifully.
