Friday Night Sweets

Baking requires precision, patience, and finesse.  Usually I would rate myself pretty low in these categories but I surprised myself this afternoon.  Caitlin, Katie and Katie came over tonight for dinner, wine, and a little creative project so I wanted to serve something special for dessert.  I decided to make a Blackberry Peach Mousseline Tart.  For the tart filling I made peach creme mousseline which basically means a peach pastry cream that's been beaten until light with butter (lots of butter!!!) and finished the tart with blackberries.  The result was a rich but light and airy summer dessert.
