If you really feel like splurging with buying a book, you might like to invest in The Professional Pastry Chef by Bo Friberg. It is a really good book, it may look a little intimidating, but it is really good. He also has a website(chefbo.com). It’s $65 US book price, but I got it off of amazon.com for a little bit less. Your tarts look really good! Keep it up. Today I made honey wheat rolls from Bo Friberg’s book. They were awesome. If you want the recipe, let me know. Post a comment at chefsera.blogspot.com

Thanks for the nice words and have fun blogging and baking. As far as being a beginner goes: some of the nicest baking I’ve seen on blogs has been from people who consider themeselves as such. They certainly made me feel like one :-)! Looking forward to your baking adventures. Alberto from Il Forno.
