Speaking of classics, I made a tarte aux fruits for my SO's team meeting a little while back. Crust, almond cream, pastry cream, apricots, raspberries, white and red currants, strawberry jelly, mint:
It definitely made the car smell nicer when I dropped it off, haha:

I'm not sure if you get them in Ottawa (they're all over sw ont), but Canada is a greenhouse powerhouse these days and they've introduced strawberries as a greenhouse crop. Let me tell you, I have been buying like $10 of strawberries a week since they started selling these under the PC brand back a couple of months ago - the US strawberries aren't worth buying, but these are like little concentrated bursts of summer. They're sweet enough to eat fresh, but I do like adding a bit extra.
