dessert deathmatch

Guys -- specifically, Alexandra (but Amanda will be equally amazed by this) -- something happened. Motivated by X's description of her lemon creamcheese cupcakes, I decided I should make something for dessert.

And only three hours later -- Voila! A variation (because I am unable to make caramel, so I made strawberry juice caramel instead) on Jamie Oliver's Kinda Portuguese Custard Tart.
















Here's the weird part -- they are delicious. Like really friggin' delicious.

I know this doesn't sound like a big deal, you know, following a recipe, but... for those of you that know me... this is kind of a big deal. Daytime TV here I come!

Wow. I didn't think you would actually do it. So...yes. I'm pretty impressed.

However...
1. Mine are prettier.
2. Instead of using a Jamie Oliver recipe, I used my imagination.

So...I don't know. Unfortunately we live in different time zones so we can't actually have a taste test to see who wins.

Also I would like to see the spiral crust thingy that you were talking about.

And I have posted my cupcakes.
