I promise to show which crimper I’m using to make the above tarts. I personally find the plastic one better than the metal ones as it’s not as stiff so it’s easier to control the pressure when you crimp on it.
And for those who would like to do this design, here is a simple design to show how it is done.
Red refer to the 1st layer of crimping and Blue is the 2nd layer. So you actually crimp 8 times per tart!

You are so sweet to share with us. I bot the plastic crimper too. Agreed with you, it is a breeze using it, compared to the metal one. This is more easy to grip and is much larger, giving more defined patterns.
Thanks for sharing..with your tips we could make great pineapple tarts too.

If u can use the ‘teethless crimper’ the rose pineapple tart would really look rose-y…its very difficult to get though..

Hi Erin, I got the tool from those neighbourhood houseware shop or try Ailin Bakery @ Tanjong Katong.
Hi Irene, glad you find the tips useful!
Hi Esther, Hien Bui and The Little Teochew, you’re most welcome!
Hi Aida, that will be interesting to use a teethless crimper!
Hi Sherreen, I didn’t glaze the tart.
