Hello - I don't understand why we're talking about 'faire des tartes' when we started off with 'un gâteau and finished with 'la tarte'

Hi Lynne, 

We use the term 'gâteau' very loosely in French , it means a 'pâtisserie' , so 'faire un gâteau' is rather to bake...

So it could be a tarte, a gaufre, a meringue, a galette etc...

Hope this helps!

Hi Lynne,

Thanks for the clarification , the change of article didn’t strike me as odd when I did the exercise ....I think that ‘s what would happen naturally when speaking.
