    I used to work for Swensen's Ice Cream. The supervisor said I'd eventually get sick of ice cream. Never happened. :grumble:

    I used to work in a toffee factory. I was allowed to eat all the toffee I wanted since the owner figured I'd be tired of it soon enough. Never. Happened.

    Luckily, the owner also ran me off my feet, so I ended up losing a little weight at that job. :laugh:
  • Ay que rico! I'm assuming WindyCity Cupcakes is in Chicago? If so, I really need to take my family LOL...although I can't indulge unless you have gluten-free goodies?

    Ok, you all keep saying 'flan' but I didn't see a 'flan' there. Is this one of those american things again?

    This is a flan:

    Try using google. Just type in "Flan" and see what comes up. It's a traditional spanish/portugese custard dessert as pictured above.

    The picture you posted is a fruit tart.

    My dad worked for Baskin Robins for years and we ALWAYS had ice cream in the house. Never got sick of it.

    OOoohhh Rocky Road...nom nom nom. :love:

    Edited to say: He worked at the warehouse, not the store. So we had 5 gallon buckets of ice cream!! My parents had to buy a deep freeze to keep them..lol!

    thank you everyone. i posted these pics because i am proud of my work, and maybe showing off just a little bitty tiny bit. sometimes just showing people what i made and hearing the oohs and aahs is almost better than eating it. i can't explain why. yes, the flan is what we call flan the fruit tart is a fruit tart it's french.

    i made all the items in this thread, they are my recipes. i own a bakery in chicago. it is not called windycity cupcake, i will leave the name anon because i prefer to be anon on here so i can speak candidly. i also make gluten free things and many of my baked goods are vegan (youd never know it, most people dont).

    i would love to try and post a low calorie low fat version of what i make. i would have to test the recipes first though, and i'm still not strong enough to do that. in other words, even if i made a low fat version of something and allowed myself to eat some, i would end up eating the whole pan and accumulating just as many fat and calories. too soon i think, i've only been on the wagon for five days. but maybe in a week or so when i have more willpower!

    i know it's odd to post fattening dessert pictures in a weight loss forum and that's why i put a warning in the title. i too start to crave desserts sometimes when i see too many photos of them. but i also think this forum and site is here to help us feel good about ourselves and focus on things we are proud of so thats why i posted it.

    for all you non sweet eaters, i wll post photos of savory pies and quiches later when i get back to the bakery, so watch out! hehe

    I think American flan is what all those Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries that specialize in flan call a flan. What you had up there is a fruit custard tart.

    I think we call your 'flan' a 'creme caramel'. Our one is definetely a flan, and it doesn't have custard in or a hard pastry edge which would make it a tart. :smokin:
    It does have a pastry edge, looks like a pie crust. I am of mexican heritage and the OP definitely had a picture of flan, i would also call your picture and fruit tart, not flan. but hey it must a regional thing.

    Yup that's what a flan is here in Ireland too.
    That "flan" is creme caramel. And I love creme caramel :love:

    THIS is flan. And it's not American dessert.

    I've never seen that fruity kind of European flan PPs were referring to...
