Best Tart Event - Roundup

I hope you remember the event held on this space through September, 2012: Best Tart Event

First of all, I apologize for the late roundup. I was swamped with work and with the festive season in tow, I hardly had any time to blog at all. I extended the deadline to 15^th October and had decided to do the roundup by 31^st October, but I missed that too. So here I am doing the round-up late in November. Apologize again for the delay.

So without further ado, let us look at the entries:

1. Julie of Erivum Puliyum

This is a wonderfully rich cherry tart. I am sure it tasted as yummy as it looks!

2. Achu of Tangy Minds

That brings us to a close of the wonderful entries for this event. 

Thank you all for the beautiful looking and yummy tart recipes!

Now as for the most awaited draw for the winner of the give-away… Ah... Ahh.... Not so fast!... Hold on...

I excluded family and friends (non-culinary) from among the followers. So scroll down to see who won the beautiful vibrant colour pie-dish that I handpicked from Zansaar.com
