Strawberry Tart

Strawberry's season has arrived while I neglect to write! As I love strawberry, this season makes me so happy and I feel to make sweets with them.

So, I decided to bring Strawberry Tart to my friend's house, they had invited us to have barbecue.

The other day I was asked to make a Birthday Cake for our friend's kid and some blueberries were left over, so I also added them.

 

 

Due to vitamin C from Strawberry + anthocyanin from Blueberries, the cake is good for body and also eyes;-)
