The Bakewell tart, (from the town of Bakewell in Derbyshire), originated as a pudding in a puff pastry case, filled with custard, before the frangipane version that we know today. A Bakewell tart tends to be one large tart, topped with flaked almonds. A cherry Bakewell is an individual tart topped with glacé icing and a cherry on the top. Congress tarts seemed to have originated from curd tarts. Curd cheese, also known as farmers cheese, is similar to cream cheese but has a lower fat content.
