knitted feast

I do like a competition .....and when I saw that there was to be one at the Knit and Stitch Show this Spring, I just had to enter. Especially since the title of the competition was Knitted Feast and the requirement was to knit or crochet an item for the banqueting table.
I wanted to do something colourful and after perusing the internet I took my inspiration from a photo found on the Not From a Packet Mix Blog of a fruit tarte.
I started with a pastry base and custard filling and a row of strawberries and blueberries.....


Then added some tinned peach slices and kiwi fruit.....

 
and of course every pastry deserves a pretty cake stand......


and a few flowers and pieces of fruit for a bit of decoration......


And my final entry....




If you are lucky enough to be going along to the Spring Knit and Stitch Show at Olympia in London this weekend have a look out for my fruit tarte and all the other entries.
Unfortunately mine was not in the winning three!
Till next time, Ali.

  2. Wow! What a delicious tarte Ali...the texture and colour of the custard are yummy and all the fabulous fruit - 5 a day would be easy with such tempting colourful slices! The cake stand is cool too!
    I'd certainly choose your tarte from the menu Ali!
