Wow, Mum's going to restart her bakery, inspired by you! This could be a wonderful mother and daughter venture!
Sweet corn and cream cheese....hmmmmm that's an 'interesting' combination. I'm not sure I'd fancy that if I'm being honest, as I'm not a big fan of corn, but they do look great. Perhaps in the form of a larger size, like a flan and cut into slices to eat as a savoury dish with chips and salad, perhaps?
You're right about the prices though, its all in the damn butter and as found out recently when trying to make a cheesecake, anything involving the word 'cheese' is extortionately priced, especially cream cheese and mascarpone.
As for the pie/tart debate. I'm calling them tarts. As far as I know. Tarts are open but pies have lids. That's the way I've always thought about it anyway. Then we have to bring 'flan' into the equation. What's the difference between a flan and a tart?
Looking forward to seeing the new logo and perhaps a Hive account dedicated to her bakery?
Take care and stay healthy and happy. I'm sooooo glad your flour sabbatical is over!
