Having trained at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris and worked at Pascal Pinaud's patisserie on rue Monge in the 5th arrondissement, the French Tarte is no stranger to the delicious wonders of Parisian sweets.

Susan specializes in classic tarts, a myriad of buttery shortbreads, nutty financiers, delicate madeleines, flaky croissants, and a tempting selection of French style pastries and desserts.

Some of my latest creations include:

• Apricot cream escargot -- spiraled croissant dough with pastry cream and apricots (pictured)
• Cherry pistachio escargot
• Caramel apple puff tart
• Flan parisien
• Walnut raspberry linzer shortbread
• Toasted coconut cream tart

If there's something you discovered in France that you'd like me to make or you'd like to learn to make for yourself, just ask.
