Weekend Drop: Key Lime, Galette, and Mini Cheesecake Tarts

Tulla’s Weekend Drop: Key Lime, Galette, and Mini Cheesecake Tarts

There’s something about a lazy weekend that begs for buttery pastry, a perfectly set filling, and that first tiny crumb breaking off a forkful of something homemade. At Tulla Patisserie & Cafe, we don’t just bake desserts—we build small, edible moments of French charm, right here in our own kitchen.

This weekend, our pastry case is getting a serious glow-up. Think tangy rhubarb, velvety cream cheese, zesty citrus, and the kind of red velvet that makes you close your eyes on the first bite.

Here’s a first look at what’s coming fresh out of the oven, starting Friday morning.

🧀 Cheesecake Mini Tarts

Big cheesecake flavor, perfectly portable. Our mini tarts pack a luxuriously smooth cream cheese filling into a crisp, buttery pâte sablée shell—think shortbread meets New York-style richness. They’re just the right size for an afternoon coffee break (or a “three-is-better-than-one” situation).

🍓 Strawberry Rhubarb Pie & Galette (Yes, Both)

Rhubarb season is short and sweet—literally—so we’re doubling down.

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie – A classic lattice-topped beauty with jammy, slow-cooked strawberries and bright, tender rhubarb. The filling bubbles through the crust just enough to convince you the world is okay.
Strawberry Rhubarb Galette – For the rustic-at-heart. Same gorgeous fruit filling, but wrapped in a free-form, fold-over pastry that’s shatteringly flaky and less fussy than a pie. It’s messy in the best way.

❤️ Red Velvet Cupcakes

We kept the crumb impossibly soft, the cocoa whisper-light, and the tang (that classic buttermilk-vinegar handshake) just right. Topped with a swirl of silky cream cheese frosting and a tiny sprinkle of red velvet crumbs. One cupcake looks like a velvet pillow. Two looks like a good decision.

☕ Vanilla Scones

The humble hero. Our vanilla scones are not dry, not dense, and not an afterthought. They’ve got flaky interiors, golden craggy edges, and real vanilla bean specks throughout. Split one open, add a pat of butter or clotted cream, and suddenly your morning is French cafe quiet even if the dishwasher is running.

🍈 Key Lime Tart

Because not every French-inspired thing has to come from Paris. We borrowed the sunny soul of the Florida Keys and gave it a pâtisserie makeover: a snappy, sweet-tart lime curd, an extra-buttery shortbread crust, and a dollop of whipped cream to calm everything down. One bite tastes like summer vacation.
