Classic Fruit Tart

I was asked by a colleague, who is originally from Europe, if I could make a classic French tarte aux fruits for the monthly birthday celebration at work.  I'd never made one before but was happy to have a reason to finally try my hand at crème pâtissière (or creme pat, as they call it on the Great British Bake Off), which seems like a must for any dessert baker. It turned out the hardest part of this bake was the crust! My first attempt shrunk too much to be usable, and while my second try was a bit darker around the top than I would have liked, it held up well and tasted great.
