Ok peoples, I'm wondering if anyone could point me towards any books that might help me with something I'm trying to do.

What I'm trying to is produce a jam tart from a playing card, I've tried a few different ideas but just can't get it looking right. I'm sure that someone must have produced something of a similar size from a card but I can't find anything anywhere.

Mr. Kipling's 101 tricks with a Bakewell here:

Producing a tart??? Hmmmm

Gimme £70 and drop me off at King cross. I'll find you one quite quickly ....

where are my pointy boots........

I wonder if Lawrence's production deck would do the job?

For us in Canada....."what on earth is a jam tart?" maybe I could help you if I know what on earth that was - LOL - quite funny the different uses of the English language from country to country.

think of a small apple pie without a lid and filled with jam (jelly I think it's called over there)

think deap filled jammy dodger.

Ohhh boy......"what is a jammy dodger?"

I understand the small pie description a bit......I think we simply call them tarts here - but we don't have lids on them - and we do use both jam and jelly.

Funny story on the language front....we have a British Military training base near the city I live in so we our city is often inundated with British families.......and one day at a nightclub when I was in highschool my buddy walked up to introduce himself to a girl "Hi I am Randy!"....he got instantly slapped.

His real name is "Randy" and it is quite a common name in Canada.....oh the twists on the English language.

why would you want to put jelly in a tart???? surely that wouldn't work

jelly is the american word for jam

oh, that'd make more sense. Silly me

So

U.S = Jelly
Uk = Jam

But moodini also stated they put both Jelly and Jam in their tarts

....So what is american Jam?......my brain hurts

back to the question at hand...

I am thinking Henry Evans's Misers Dream

http://www.metacafe.com/watch/553057/he ... ers_dream/

That finishes with 4 jumbo chinese coins being produced from cards in a very magical way. I see no reason why Tarts (assuming you do mean pastries and not loose women) could not be created to do the same.

In fact with some mini tarts, hors d'oeuvres if you will (or loose women d'oeuvres?) you could do the whole routine with that theme in mind.

It's worth watching the entire clip either way though - as I think it is rather good...

well what is American anything?


They have pants instead of trousers, so I would assume they wear trousers instead of pants?

hehe

maybe a bit of candy you know - instead of sweets

And Jelly, instead of jam

we have american jam here, but I doubt they have "American Jam" there - it ios probably known just as jam - or in this case, jelly

they probably have some "English Jelly" over there though - though I am wondering what they call jelly over there, if "jelly" means "jam"

I guess it is like having an Indian - we dont go to India and ask for an Indian

You might end up with some man on your plate...
