- 2 cups white sugar
- 1 heaping tablespoon cornstarch
- 2–3 tablespoons water
- 1 package pastry tart shells (approximately 30 in a package)
- Whipped cream for garnish

Instructions
- Prepare your tart shells: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). If you’re using individual tart shells, place them on a baking sheet.

- Fill the tart shells: Using a spoon, generously fill each tart shell with the cherry mixture.
- Bake to perfection: Place your filled tart shells in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
- Cool and garnish: Once they are golden and fragrant, remove them from the oven and let them cool. Top with a generous scoop of whipped cream and sprinkle with edible flowers or thyme.
