Our day began by making the dough for the quiche and the fruit tart. After, the dough was finished the groups went on to work on making the custard which was used to fill the tarts. Then the groups started to assemble the needed ingredients they needed for their quiche filling.
When all of the quiches were assembled they were put into the oven. Finally, the quiches were finished and the fruit tarts were wonderfully decorated.

Talulah and Mackenzie making custard The first thing we all began working on in the kitchen was the cream for our fruit tarts.
