Have you seen the newest trend hitting social media? I’m not exactly sure what they are called. Number cakes? Letter cakes? Cookie cakes? Cream tart cakes?

I have seen all kinds of names for these beautiful creations but I don’t know if any names really capture how truly incredible they are. How does “amazingly beautiful layered fruit tart cake” sound?

This beautiful dessert is a trendier version of a classic fruit tart. Also known as cream biscuits or cream cakes, they’re a beautiful and unique twist on traditional cakes.

The layers of original tart crust (aka pâte sablée, a french pastry dough) are the base that is crisp and cookie-like. Then its filled with dollops of pastry cream or stabilized whipped cream. Finally, the cream tart is topped with a medley of fresh fruit, macarons, flowers, meringue kisses and more! It’s definitely the latest dessert trend and it’s easy to see why!

The best part about this trend is its interchangeable designs. It’s not only gorgeous but really easy to make different flavors and different shapes. It doesn’t always have to be a number, you can make letters, hearts, or even short words will work!

The base layers can be the original tart crust or a traditional sugar cookie, thin cake layers, or store bought puff pastry, whatever you want! For the delicious filling, pipe rounds of pastry cream, stabilized whipped cream or buttercream like this Swiss Meringue Buttercream, using a large open piping tip or just the end of the piping bag. A little smear of jam, ganache or citrus curd wouldn’t hurt either. Then top with your choice of beautiful, tasty toppings, stand back and enjoy!

To get you started, let’s take a look at these 12 Cream Tart “Number Cakes”!
