If you're lucky enough to score Ceci-Cela's Plum Tart ($5.25) still warm, you've struck gold. A whole plum is quartered and nestled deep into a puff pastry shell, with the slightest layer of custard in between. The plums are sweet, dark and juicy, perfect on top of the golden puff pastry, which flakes off in buttery shards with each forkful. And if you can't grab one right out of the oven? Take it home, warm it up yourself and top with fresh whipped cream. Even better!
