The pastry-making kit includes a pastry maker, as well as necessary food ingredients such as packets of icing, dough and sprinkles. To complete the making of the treats, only a few fresh ingredients must be added, such as milk and eggs, although there are plenty of other add-ins from the kitchen that can be used to enhance one's custom tart creations.
