Businessowner, Baker Pairs Tart with Your Art in T'ART [VIDEO]

A tart is an open-faced pie usually made with fruit, most often with a shortcrust pastry. A T'ART, from Amour Creations, is one way to make your own tart out of what you happen to have lying around your kitchen: fresh or frozen fruits, springform or glass pans, relatively healthy or a special treat.

Founder Linda Amir points out that it's not just for sweet tarts, you can make savory tarts as well. She's slowly building the T'ART brand through tastings at places like and the Meat House in Brookline; in Needham; and in Watertown.

"It's taking baby steps, and once I reach different plateaus, I'm ready to do the next thing," Amir said. "It's been a very educational process over the last year, in learning what it takes to bring a product to market."

The next step for Amour Creations is deciding how to increase production, while still baking up samples for tastings, and running the website, AmourCreations.net. Amir also piles her tart-making operation on top of a full-time job downtown. 

If you'd like to try it for yourself, or pick up a bag to bring home, try one of her upcoming tastings (the schedule is updated often) You can also find T'ART at in Wayland, Duck Soup in Sudbury or online.
