'cos pineapple tarts are too mainstream (and often too sweet)! Whisking bakes was started by a former air-stewardess who whisked away from her flight life when Covid-19 threw a curveball to her career. She specializes and got her fame from her orh-nee (yam) tarts, a twist to the pineapple golf ball tarts. Her yammy tarts comes in the shape of golf balls, with thin buttery crust that melts-in-the-mouth and crumbles when you hold it up with too much force. ie. every hand crafted ball requires tender-loving-care; holding one up with too much force will result in the pastry breaking apart because it’s so thin and crumbly - and I guess that’s just a hallmark of 1) ideal tart-to-filling ratio and 2) crumbly smooth, melt-in-the-mouth crust!

Within each ball is a generous serving of yam paste - hand cooked (& stirred) with much love in a rather time consuming process, as with how the traditional good ol' orhnee is made. I like how it's not too sweet, hence making it a perfect treat ... and excuse to pop another one into the mouth. I’m sure a lot of hard work went into quality control as well to ensure the yam fillings are as fragrant as they can be, especially when they’re made from pure ingredients without any added flavourings or flavour enhancements!

As these are handmade with love, without preservatives of any sort, they're perishable and best consumed within 3-5 days. They taste the best on the day of purchase - which is also the same day when they're freshly rolled out from the oven (yes, baked fresh daily!)
