After the sugary chocolate overload of yesterday's opening, a lighter treat was in store for Day 2. Pear almond tart (vegan, soy free), an invented and already tested recipe was made in the morning. No refined sugars were used, only agave, pure maple syrup, and the natural sweetness of dates and figs. Typically, the tart would be made in a classic circular pan and cut into triangles, however, for ease of packaging, a square pan of tart was made and cut into 9 equal pieces.
It was decided that this would not be enough to satisfy the hungry weekend passerbys and another was quickly made in the circular tart pan. Dates had run low, so figs were substituted with a very delicious result. The beauty of the treat was compromised by the small plastic bags that contained them, but it was decided that this was necessary for reasons of sanitation and protection from the elements.
Sign was sanded and repainted to read "Pear Almond tart (vegan)."
12 pieces were put out at around 1pm. Almost instantly, a female passerby excitedly took two, exclaiming her awe of the fact they were really vegan. Kiosk was placed directly in front of gallery window and underneath a slightly overhanging roof ledge.
Kiosk was left out for the rest of the day, though it began to rain only an hour after being put out.
Upon being collected at 6pm, all treats were taken and $2.55 were in the $ jar. This accounted for the sale of 10.2 of the 12 pieces at 25 cents per piece. Luckily the rain did not damage installation in any way.
Considered a successful day for conzept kiosk.
