Have you ever admired the super-shiny fruit tarts you see at the supermarket bake shop? Nestled like colorful jewels in the bakery case among the plainer sugar cookies and lemon squares, they stand out like royalty at a peasants' ball.

Easily applied, it sets up quickly and holds well, often for days.
