No from Tesco's

I do not often eat these Tesco bakewells but someone had bought them into school the other day so it would have been impolite to refuse one. These bake well tarts came in a box of 6 the box unmistakable and really unremarkable is a red box with a picture of a bakewell tarts adorned with cherry. It cost my friend 72p for the box from our local Tesco shop.

I removed the tart from its silver foil tray. The tart I thought was a good size. .It looked quite attractive a pastry case filled with sponge which was topped with a white fondant icing and a half glace cherry perched on top of the icing.

I ate the cherry first. Then I bit into the tart and got a mouthful of a pastry sweet a little crumbly the pastry base is quite thick. I got some of the icing in my first mouthful too it was a sweet fondant icing a thin layer quite sweet and sticky.
The little sponge I got in the first mouthful was moist a slight almond flavour not keen on almond so this put me of a little. Another bite and I tasted the red almost raspberry flavoured jam between the cake and the pastry base.
I has a sniff of the cake it smelyt little a sweet cakey smell with a hint of fruit

I proceeded to finish eating the tart /cake and felt that I did not need or want another. It is a fairly good product but sorry not for me unless I am desperate for a sugar fix as I do not like the almond flavour.

Another reason it's not for me is that it contains 165 cal per tart which is quite a lot.
These tarts are not suitable for a lot of people with food intolerances they contain wheat, gluten. Nut, egg, and milk .
So my oppinion is if you want to buy a bakewll tart thyese seem ok handy good size , but if like me you do not like almonds do not bother with them

Summary: A traditional tart
