California berries series Mini berry tart @ Maxim's Bakery

Maxim's has introduced a summer berries series which uses berries as a theme for their products.
The berries used in this series are: blueberry, strawberry, raspberry and blackberry which sourced from Driscoll.

I was attracted by their California berries series which has four items:

- 8" berries tart with Frangipane
- Summer angel [angel chiffon cake topped with berries]
- Berry mousse dessert
- mini berry tart

I wanted to try the 8" tart but as it was too big I bought the mini version.
The difference is that the mini version does not have Frangipane and blackberries.

Anyway, the tart was light, and the berries were not sweetened which was refreshing, but it was not too sour because there was a thin layer of clear sweet jelly masking the fruit together, and the cream and tart was sweet enough.
A light and refreshing tart that reminded me of strawberries n cream @ wimbledon.

Since, the smaller version was nice, I intend to try the bigger version and the berry mousse dessert.
The Summer angel is basically the angel chiffon cake topped with berries, but the chiffon cake did not taste that nice, so I will not try this cake.
