I haven’t posted any of my baking projects in a while. They’ve been mostly boring, like autumn leaves and birthday things, so you haven’t been missing out on much.

Yesterday, I was trying to figure out how to make Audrey II cookies (still working on it) when my little brother asked for a “Rapunzel Pie.”

I’m not sure what he meant, but I’m never one to turn down a chance to paint on a pie crust:

If I were to do it again, I’d paint it after rolling it flat but before placing it on top of the pie.

It’s a home-made preserves blackberry/raspberry (no, I can’t tell the difference) filling and grandma’s recipe for the crust, natural fruit juice coloring/dye.

I free-handed the design (well, you can tell that, I think) and the dye bled, but my little brother loved it and that’s really all that matters.

Still working on the Audrey II cookies.

I know nothing will ever top the Hyrule Pie I made a few months ago, but today is Pi Day. 3.14 inverted spells Pie in L337. This cannot be coincidence, and so, I have taken up the quest of Epic Pie, yet again.

Much to my family’s dismay, I made four pies.

Two are in the oven, but here are the other two:

An Apple Pi (gross use of pun, I feel like I should apologize in advance, except that we all know I think it’s brilliant).

Before I put it in the oven.  I free-handed, and I think you can probably tell. Oh, well!

You can’t see it, but the juices from the pie are running into my oven mitt and burning my wrist hardcore. Gotta love the “oh god I am burninating” expression.

At Matt’s request: Chocobo Pie! It’s a “black” chocobo, because it’s blackberry — I guess that means it’s good for all terrain except the ocean, at least in the VII-verse.

At least you know you can get to Phoenix Tower?

I wonder where the Carob Nut came from.

It’s a good thing we’re not on the Ozmone Plains, or they’d be agro.

True to Tactics, the ‘bo has a purple tint.

There’s no good picture of it, but it says “Chocobo” underneath, in round, Chocobo Dungeon-esque letters.

But hey, at least it’s not Papyrus, (totally did not just go there).

“I am the Chosen Pie!”  Harry Pietter: The Pie That Lived. Per request, with Little Brother “assistance.”

Happy Pi Day!
