They are stars come snack time or to finish off a meal with the family. They offer a simple, delicious treat that evokes past times and frees our imagination. Along with macarons, eclairs and choux pastry, they are a key trend right now!

Tarts step into the limelight
There is a new wind blowing and pastry classics are being reinvented in audacious new colors, shapes and textures. Today’s tarts are playful, surprising and inventive. Give in to temptation!
Play with shapes - Whoever said a tart had to be round? From rectangles and squares to triangles, ovals and eclairs, playing with shapes has never been more fun!
Give the classics a new twist - Sometimes a little change makes all the difference: An unpredictable mix of flavors, an enticing presentation or a playful shape are just some of the ways you can be sure of reinvigorating a classic.
Supersize or minimize - Traditionally, tarts symbolize sharing and conviviality. But why not imagine a tart for two, a supersize tart to share between a whole group or even mini-tartlets? There's a size for every occasion when you need a touch of sweetness!
A single recipe can be used for tarts, tartlets and amuse-bouche to delight gourmet diners whatever the occasion.
Add some rhythm - Follow the rhythm of the seasons and you can offer new creations on a regular basis. Each and every creation is the chance to play with your palette of seasonally inspired colors and flavors.
Break the mold - You can make tarts in original formats – why not a tart in a glass, for instance?
Mix and match - Mix up fruit and chocolate to create unexpected harmonies and invent delightful new pleasures.
Unveil your surprise - Vary textures with shortcrust, pie-crust or puff pastry. Add a little extra je ne sais quoi to your pastry to create unexpected textures! You can jazz up your pastry with spices, oat bran, cocoa nibs or even crunchy pearls.
