Ivonne–it’s just so beautiful. I knew you would dazzle the eye, and you did! Mine was not a success at all! (Sniffle.)

The free form pie looks great.

Ivonne! Can I come to you for decorating lessons??!!! Your pie looks just so wonderful and I am so amazed with your piping skills! Great job as always….
When i grow up, I wanna be just like you. Oops too late. Already grown up……

fabulous ivonne, and so pretty with those edible flowers!

Adore the addition of the flower; Looks beautiful!

Oh Ivonne,
I just love how you used the meringue around the edges of the crust. It looks so delicate.

That last photo makes me want to bake another lmp

The sugared flowers are a wonderful bit of genius, but I’m even more envious of your lovely meringue peaks. I’d pay good money to eat something like that.

Beautiful, imaginative presentation. The flowers are especially lovely! That catering business is just waiting to take off with you.

i love your idea with the meringue decoration! wonderful, wonderful!

Wow, they’re really, really beautiful!

Very beautiful meringue and the tartlets look amazing! What a great idea to put edible flowers with them! Truly I am in awe of your knowledge and ability. Wow!

The edible flowers are such a nice touch — thanks for the instructions about how to sugar them.

Your tartlets look very good! I love the way you made the meringue peak! Really gorgeous! Such pretty flowers…

Cheers,

Rosa

What cute tartlettes you’ve created!

So pretty! Love the piping of the meringue!

Aside from sounding delicious, you did a stunning job decorating those tartlets. Very nice work! I’d feel almost guilty eating it…but I would overcome that guilt very quickly

Love the way you did the challenge. The peaks are fantastic and I love the flat shape of the dough instead of the traditional pie form.

Absolutely gorgeous!

Great choice for this months challenge. I learned several things and that’s what it is all about…do the hokey pokey..and turn your tart around…

Oh so that’s how you trick the lemon to stay inside! Now when I see it, it’s seems so obvious!
Beautiful as usual Ivonne!

Brilliant free tartlets! And smart way to keep the filling from spreading - such a great idea, Ivonne!

Daintily Gorgeous as always! Love the idea of the meringue border, gives them a Victorian touch. Gimme, gimme!!

Ivonne, beautiful, as usual! You have a lot more patience than I do when it comes to decorating. I love the addition of the flower.

Your meringue looks fabulous!

How lovely!
Bet those were great, a ray of sunshine and summer, on a bleary winter day.

You’re right- the flowers were the perfect touch! Those look beautiful enough to charge for. I really love the peaked meringue and the way the flower sits in there like it was just meant to be. Thanks so much for Daring Bakers and the opportunity to make Lemon Meringue pie- it was a first for me.

It is just stunningly beautiful.

Congratulations on being mentioned on Chocolate and Zucchini!

Your photos are lovely! The free-form tart looks so pretty, I even like it with just the ring of meringue around. You did a wonderful job!

Ivonne - You did a fabulous job and your pictures are great. I love the sugared flour, it was a lovely touch.

I was looking forward to your creations Ivonne. I loe the way you decorated them. So delicate and adorable1

Incredible as always! I look forward to all of your creations!

This is the first DB post I read this month and I discover that we had the same idea of making a border of meringue to keep the filling in place. Your tartlets look so elegant!

Those are amazing! I am so impressed!

oooh, that is so so so pretty!

Beautiful!! The meringue is looks awesome.

One reason I love the Daring Bakers is because you get to see so many talented peoples ideas. I LOVE the tartletts, the piping, and of course, the flowers. Spring is in the air, err, I mean on your tart!

Awww so pretty! I love your addition of the edible flowers, sweetie.. such a lovely little touch!

xoxoxoxoxo

Looks lovely as usual Ivonne!

That flower is a genius touch, Ivonne. But yep, I agree with you, flavor and texture-wise, I prefer other versions.

very beautiful, i love the tart with flower.

looks amazing!!

The flower is such a fresh touch. The whole thing is just lovely and has me aching for spring!

I love you you’ve decorated your tarts!! And the sugared flowers are a wonderful touch.

Gorgeous tartlets! I love the idea of the edible flowers. I just used a plain old daffodil. : (

beautiful!

Your tarts are so cute and absolutely stunning. I love the photo of them with the meringue border and the filling, thye look like very decorative cookies.

I’m not a big fan of show-offs

What awesome meringue! Wow! I love the tart version, along with everybody else.

Ivonne- just SO lovely - as usual!
xoxo

I didn’t think to pipe meringue on FIRST! Thankfully, my curd didn’t run away, but I’ll remember this tip for next time.

Nice piping Ivonne! Really lovely looking tartlets!

Your food is always gorgeous, but that meringue really takes the cake…er, um, pie!

I’ll basically reiterate the last 50 plus comments - wow! Your tarts look great and it is no surprise since everything you post is beautiful. I love the tips on sugaring edible flowers and piping the meringue on first before filling.

They are beautiful! Really elegant looking. And your meringue is perfect.

wow!! i can’t believe that it was the same recipe!!! Your LMP is sooo beautiful!! *speechless!!*

Creative & very beautiful to look at along with that taste of Spring I really need on this cold, dreary winter day!

Great idea with the meringue border! I love that idea! They look really good!

Looks lovely Ivonne! Your tarts are super cute.

Your meringue border and decorations are stunningly beautiful! I was especially excited to see your post as it reminds me that I’m now this much closer to February’s challange - my first, as a Daring Bakers newbie! I’m SO excited! Thank you for inspiring me with your incredible, vivid, scrumptious blog…

The sugared edible flower was the perfect touch. Your tarts look scrumptious!

Love the decoration Ivonne - looks great!

Looks wonderful! I love your ideas.

WOW!! those are amazing. I am so gonna try sugaring some flowers great presentation, and all you guys with the free form tarts, I so need to play with that hehe.

Edible flowers = genius!

Why haven’t we had a lunch date yet??

oh, Ivonne - I just KNEW that you wouldn’t fail to impress me with your entry for this month’s DBC event - MARVELOUS meringue pie you’ve got there!!

Round crusts, and shell borders, and sugared flowers: oh my! You always do such a marvelous job; you’re an inspiration.

Very cute. I’m jealous. Everyone got wonderful pictures of their tarts and pies!!

I’m quite impressed with the flower. So cute. I bet the little tarts were wonderful, especially with this shortbread crust!

Great idea about the boarder of meringue. And the flower is just wonderfully springy. As always, beautiful.

Great looking meringue tops! The lemon filling looks nice and custardy.

I love the sugared flowers. Brings a promise of spring to the air. Your freeform tarts are a sight to behold.

love your website, recipes and especially your photo’s.

WOW! absolutley stunning! You did an amazing job!

wow such beautiful mini pies! i love your creativity with the assembling and meringuing. great job!

wow, your tartelette is gorgeous! i love how you garnished it with an edible flower! the photos look like they are out of a magazine!

great minds think alike! (i just wrote “pucker up” on my blog too) but i am loving these little tarts. the piping you did on the crust is a perfect touch!

Your pies look fabulous. It seems sad that they have to be eaten (they looktoo nice to be taken apart).
Thanks for including me in the DB community. I enjoyed this challenge and look forward to the next one.

The edible flowers were just a beautiful touch, and may I just say again.. you are amazing.. everything you make just looks sooo good CONGRATS!

Thank you Ivonne. As I sit here sniffling with a stuffy nose and bundled up against a cold rainy bay area Monday, your bright lemon tarts and beautiful sugared flowers remind me that spring’s right around the corner…

Really nice decorated pies!

Your meringues look absolutley beautiful. What a star you are. Well done!

GORGEOUS!

Impactable Stunning!

What an incredibly beautiful little tartlets, Ivonne! And such an original touch to add edible flowers. Beautiful!

Now you see that’s why you’re one of the founders of The Daring Bakers. For me this was a massive challenge, thankfully a fun one that turned out very well but for you it was a cinch. Love it that you thought nothing of piping meringue around the outside to hold the filling in. That would have scared me something silly! They look beautiful with the edible flowers.

Lovely Ivonnne. I will make the LMP once I’m organised.

Awesome, awesome, awesome !! Did I say that your Tartlets were awesome ???

They look so pretty with the flower! Good idea to build a meringue dam.

Fabulous! You’re *so* damn creative

I love the idea of the meringue wall around the tartlet.

Okay, that’s just gorgeous with the sugared flower!

Those tarts are so pretty! I love the sugared flowers. They add such a springy touch.

Wow, both form and function- The technique of using meringue as a border to contain the filling is simply brilliant!

They look absolutely delicious! I just might have to try the recipe though my decorating won’t be quite as clean.

Superb rendition.

I love the border. Your tarts look so cute Congratulations on yet another challenge!

so nice ! I love the idea of the meringue border, it’s ingenious

Your piping is stunning. The meringue in the first picture reminds me of the heat meiser’s hair! Hee!

Adorable–just like you, my dear

j

Those are so adorable. Wow…

Now those are just too cute! Great job!

really pretty, I love using real flowers to decorate food!

I was wondering how the lemon curd was supposed to stay in the free form tarts! Thanks for showing that. Your flowers are just perfect as decoration. I had no idea sugaring them was so easy!

These are the most delectible of all the tartlettes I’ve seen…adding the rim of meringue and then the poofs in the middle is perfect.

I am digging the edible flower. A great touch and a perfect way to personalize the tartlet. Beautiful meringue. (BTW: I also titled my post “Pucker Up!” Very fitting for this month’s challenge.)

i think your tartlets look very pretty with the beautiful shell border and the lovely flower! very creative

Wonderful ! I often visit your blog and it’s always a pleasure !
I really love your small lemon pie.
Sorry for my bad english …

Awwwwwwww!

What a great idea! Almost too pretty to eat.

Those are the most darling tartelettes I’ve seen - and the flowers are such a fantastic touch! You are an artiste!

I love the idea about piping a barrier with meringue to hold the lemon filling. I also love using edible flowers. Really well done.

I LOVE this daring baker’s challenge because lemon meringue pie is my personal favorite! Yours look gorgeous, love the addition of the flower.

I love the way your pies came out! Gorgeous piping job. I’ve just asked to join the Daring Bakers. I hope my first project will be a success!!

So cute what a good idea to use the piping on the side. Very sweet.

Gorgeous tarts! I loved the piping of the meringue on the outside and the candied flower on top! I wouldn’t have thought to do either one.

Ivonne, your tartlettes are so cute and the meringue was piped so lovely!

I love your tarts - they look like pure rays of sunshine! And I’m glad we share the same Strawberry Shortcake memories -wasn’t she fun!

Your free form tarts are so beautiful! What perfect little crusts.

Your tart is like an extension of the flower! Very pretty!
