I followed the recipe to a T and the pastry was awful what a mess.But when I went back to the original tassie pastry recipe and used margarine instead of the butter flavored shortening they were really yummy! Read More

I recently attended a wedding where there were tassies such as these..... or at least that is what I thought. I followed the directions to a T and they were dreadful. I was thoroughly dissapointed with the results. A total waste of time and money. I am an avid baker and found this to be a joke recipe that someone submitted to play a prank. Very upsetting.

I thought these were wonderful. I made them for a friend's wedding and not only were they delicious they were beautiful too. To the person who said she was an experienced baker maybe you had a bad baking day. They are challenging but worth the work. Also the shells may not taste good alone but they are a great base for the sweet filling. Read More

The caramel filling was very runny. (Caramel apples use 2 T milk for a 14 oz bag of caramels.) I doubled the topping recipe and added half of it to the runny caramel mix. I also had to double the number of cups to hold all the filling. (A definite perk since these are so yummy!) Used real butter rather than crisco in the crust. Excellent. Read More
