Patriotic Tarts


Today, I was invited to a 4th of July barbeque party so I decided to bake some cute looking patriotic colored desserts to bring along with me.


As I was baking them, I felt awkward about baking American fruit tarts since I am still a Malaysian and not an American citizen. However, I found reasons to justify myself out of my award-thought-situation:
1. I am living in the US as of now
2. If you look carefully, these tarts also be a perceptual illusion.Recall the young lady/old lady illusion.

Well, if you look closer at the tarts again, they actually have the color of the Malaysian flag: red, blue(ish), white...and yellow(ish---->from the tart crusts). :D

Of course, you may argue that the fruits are not Malaysia's local. Come August 31st, maybe I will be baking tarts with white durian flesh filling topped with jambu, nangka and a blue flower ( the one used to make nasi kerabu blue..can't think of a blue fruit)

I prefer to call it blue bell flower for a certain reason.
