Does anyone know if it is possible to buy a rigid, washable St. James Cross template for decorating a Tarta de Santiago? We've made the cake from a recipe found through the forum. It was wonderful!
However, and as many of you may have already found, the most difficult part of the entire experience is cutting out the paper template that comes with the printed recipes. So, I am hoping there is an easier way.
I will finish my next Camino at the end of May at Santiago. Does anyone know if and where in Santiago de Compostela one might find a plastic, aluminum, or tin template? It does seem rather logical that someone would be making and selling them.
I told my mom I would bring her back a template. Cutting out the paper design is beyond her dexterity. Also, the woodworking needed to produce on locally is not an option. So, I am going to scour the Camino Frances for said template.
Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions.
Thank you for the recipe of this delightful tart, which has been corrupted ad nauseam along the Camino.One of the most lovely discoveries on the Camino MAY be the Tarte de Santiago however far too often it is a tasteless lump of dough with a sugared cross on the top offered with your coffee or as desert.

Yes I bought a set of three in a general gift shop in the old part of town down one of the streets south of the Cathedral ( metal ).
Thank you very much for the lead on finding the Santiago Cross template.
You don't happen to recall the street the shop was on do you?
Also, was it like a tourist gift shop / souvenir shop OR was it a general merchandise oriental Bazaar type of shop?
Thanks again.
Hi andreo,
I'm sure it was the latter quite a way down from the Cathedral on your right hand side.................Rua do Franco, Rua do Vilar or Rua Nova.
Although I bed to disagree with Anniesantiago....................You can't beat a good piece of tarte or even tart................Happy hunting.
There is a tiny place, not far from the Praterías, which offers freshly baked "tarta". Walk to the end of Rua do Vilar, keep turning left (past the supermarket) and into the beginning of Rua Nova. A small, family run, bread and confectionary shop on the left.[...]I will hunt-and-peck in every touristy gift shop starting from the Cathedral on Rua do Vilar, Rua do Franco, and parallel streets [...]
