Daring Baker Challenge #2 - Lemon Meringue Pie
>> Monday, January 28, 2008
Jen, the Canadian Baker, challenged the Daring Bakers to focus our collective fierceness this month on the unassuming Lemon Meringue Pie. Today we celebrate the victories...and the defeats.
Mine turned out pretty good actually. Not that I could prove it with the pictures. Probably couldn't have traded my soul for a clear shot that day. Not that it really matters, cause the pies were tiny and cute - not to mention freakin' delicious. 
I do love me some lemon. And pie. 
I ate 4!
The crust was almost sugar-cookieish. Yes. That's a word.
Here's the money shot. I'm going to pretend it's not so blurry.
Here's the list - now go look at some prettier pictures!

They're very cute. Will they fit in a bento box? Now, that would be a lunchtime treat for sure!
Thanks Judy, they did fit in a bento box! I was probably more excited about it than is healthy.
They look wonderful! Great job!
awww your pies are ADORABLE!!! congratulations on a challenge well done, I understand about the pictures.. sometimes yummy foods just don't want to look pretty for the camera..
Your pies turned out beautiful! I made minis too ad ate way too many! Glad you could join in!
How cute are those little tarts!
Don't worry about the photos... mine weren't great either. ;-)
That's what makes mini's so cute, you can have one, and another one cause it's mini right?
(And I see they fit in a lunch box! Yay!)
Great pies!

Congratulations! You are a Bento Box Daring Baker.
I love the mini LMP!! Very cute and looks reall yummy!
I love this site and am adding it to my feed reader! Your tarts are just darling and such a perfect size for your bento box.
I got a good laugh at the comment you left on my blog, coffee almost came out of my nose. A little swearing and twitching make life just that much more interesting. :-)
Great job on the challenge- They all look so cute and perfectly browned on top.
How adorable! And they look like they would fit into a bento box! Great job on the challenge.
I totally agree with the sugar cookie-ish crust--it helps cut the lemon, and is just fun to eat!
It's so cute, I can just pop that in my mouth! They look wonderful and yeah now that you mention it it's almost like a shortbread cookie crust huh.
Very nice little morsels you made!
So cute! I agree about the crust...almost like a cookie.
And you fit it into the Bento Box! Success on all fronts.
Your lemon meringue tarts looks good! I really enjoyed the sugar-cookieish crust!
The little tartlets look great. I bet they tasted better as well. Thanks for your comment on my blog.
Sugar cookie-ish. Of *course* it's a word! Great job with the January challenge.
I love the tiny tarts! Great work! :)
Love the mini tarts! I'm so glad I found your blog. I love bento boxes. This inspires me to start packing mine again!! =)
Your pies looks great all lined up in a row! Nice job.
They're really cute! I really enjoyed your commentary. I'm at work right now giggling to myself, while those next to me think I'm going crazy! =)
Lovely little tarts! I love bento boxes and use them for packing my lunch most weeks. I'm so happy to find another resource for ideas.
Thanks as well for the kind words you left on my challenge.
What an interesting blog! I've ordered a bento box for lunch from time to time, fascinating to see so much written about it. Glad the tartlets fit in the box!
Not only are these tartlettes adorable and yummy, but they look so cute in the bento box you posted after. Perhaps not super healthy, but with the blueberries on a stick a super flavor combo.
Very cute...and yes, sugar cookieish is a word.

Very cute. I think I ate more than 4 of mine. OK, I DID eat more than 4. More like 6 :)
