Georgina is a beauty and I loved the story of Arabella and the hierarchy of baked goods.

😂 That is priceless! All of a sudden I feel the strong urge to go locate and purchase a beautiful French tarte.

OMG-so many things to laugh at! No longer nicknaming Birkins but tarts! :) And I can literally HEAR Arabella blasting the pretty tart! Love it all-but in all seriousness, Gorgina is gorgeous! Bravo!

So funny- Arabella! Thank God that story didn't end the way I saw it about to unfold, with the rat causing Gorgina to topple out of her box.

What beautiful, mouth-watering-looking tarts!!! So proud of you.

I love this!!! And now you understand my love of baking- although I have never attempted something like Gorgina! But I do agree with Arabella😂. They are the prettiest but other things taste better!!

Please tell me you tried a bite of GORGINA!!! And please know that EVERYONE reading this ooohed and aaahed at that photo. You deserved the no criticism award! I died when you talked about “It’s ok for you?/!/.” I will tell you later about someone who says this. Truly endearing!

You are too funny. You painted such a great picture of your new favorite French chef so perfectly, I can hear his voice, accent and all, clearly in my head. He is amusing. Congratulations on Gorgina and all of your high(est) marks. Patisserie sounds like a wonderful escape and you make it look so easy when it is anything but. Keep having fun! And thank you for sharing!!

Amy, they should have canceled 2nd and third prize, or at least had you standing on a table as an elevated podium reflecting your elevated work. Would it not be better to just auction off tiny slivers and donate money to homeless man. I am pretty sure I would sleep on a grate for a few bites of that pear tart with lime and almond filling!
