These Pies are too Beautiful to Eat!

Ah the Goblin King... ? When I was a little girl I didn’t have a crush on the usual pop stars of the day, no. It was Jareth the Goblin King from Labyrinth that I was obsessed with! ?????????Bowie has inspired me in countless forms but this one in particular is what my mind conjures first when I think of him. Which is your favorite era Bowie? (If Aladdin Sane is your bag, check out the excellent Bowie tribute pie from @suburbanpieandtreats ????) If you have a suggestion for my next Celebrity Pietrait leave a comment below! Follow me and tag two friends for a chance to win your very own pie portrait created by me! Winner announced January 23rd.

Follow if you love pie! ???? And tell me who you think should be the subject of my next “Pietrait” in the comments below... . To the inspiring woman who speaks her truth and gives others the courage to do the same... I received many requests to create a portrait of Oprah Winfrey and I hope I did her justice! ???????? This is a caramel chocolate apple pie - an unusual flavor combination, but the blend of chocolate and vanilla pastry with the caramel apple filling is seriously delicious. If you are a fan of ???? and ???? give it a try! #????>? #pieart #piesareawesome . . #oprah #oprahwinfrey #pietraits

It’s Pie-lijah Wood! Since this is my final celebrity Pietrait (for January at least - there will be more to come this year!) I decided to do an homage to my own favorite actor. You may recognize him as Fro-dough, but he’s had a fascinating career portraying of dozens and dozens of really unique characters... all the way back to when he was 8 years old! Most recently I’ve been enjoying his role as Todd on Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency (check it on Netflix.) Stay tuned to my channel for a new epic pie series theme starting in February! And as always, leave a comment about what pies you’d like to see me do, follow and tag a friend if you dig! . #????>? #pieart #piesareawesome #pietraits . . #elijahwood #frodolives #dirkgently #woodenwisdom #djwoodenwisdom #lordoftherings . #huffposttaste #buzzfeast #eeeeeats #beautifulcuisines #thekitchn @thefeedfeed #foodandwine #forkyeah #onthetable #yahoofood #buzzfeedfood #feedfeed #f52grams #crustart #pastryart #food52 #ilovepie #pierevival

In cleaning out the closets to prepare for an open house (doesn’t moving suck?) I came across my old violin! ???? The strings are ancient and the bows are shredded, but it’s still beautiful to me... to allay part of my guilt in neglecting my instruments I made an homage to it in pie form tonight. Do you have an instrument in the back of your closet you wish you still played?

“Yer a Pie Harry!” ?????????????Or maybe “The Boy who Lived... to Pie Another Day” ???? And with that, the holy HP trinity is complete and I can move on to YOUR suggestions for Harry Potter inspired pies! Man, it is going to be sooo tough to choose - you’ve given me so many amazing suggestions already. So far out of your requests I’m leaning towards Luna, Hargrid with a baby dragon, a mandrake root tart, Dobby with socks, or a four flavor divided pie of the Hogwarts crest. What do you vote for? Don’t forget to tag two pie-lovin’ friends to enter my April giveaway! Have a fab day! . #????>? #pieart #piesareawesome #piestagram . #crustart #pastryart #ilovepie #pierevival #pielove #pieoneer #pastrylove #foodartist #thepieous #pie #piecrust #baking #instabake #piday #harrypotterpie #harrypotterfood #harrypotter #harrypotterfanart #blueberrypie

City skyline pies = Pielines! ???????????? Which city pieline would you like to see me do next? Leave a comment below and tag a friend who you’d love to take to that city! . . . I meant to post this pie for Bastille Day (July 14th) as I’m also a French citizen and I love Paris... though I don’t get over to France nearly as much as I would like. But! I ran outta time comme toujours ???? I’ve got a few dozen sketches for City Pielines in my notebooks dating back to 2016 if you can believe it! I’m glad I finally got off my butt and made one ???? I decided to make this monochromatic to let the sculptural details of the buildings shine through. It kinda reminds me of those 2.5D cork sculptures that everyone’s parents had under glass in the 80s. Remember those? Did I just make them up? Maybe, who knows. Anyhoo, lemme know what you think in the comments below and tag a friend if you dig! ......... #????>? #piesareawesome #pie #piestagram #crustart #pastryart #pielove #thepieous #piecrust #baking #ilovepie #corksculpture #blueberrypie #paris #parisskyline #skylinepie #cityskyline #citypielines #pieart #yeahbutwhatdoesitlooklikebaked #france #vivaparis #eiffeltower #iwantpie #eiffeltoweratnight #frenchfood #foodartchefs #funfood #f52berry #food_glooby

Heeeere’s Jasmine! ???? The pie request I receive the most, hands down, is the Disney Princesses... ???????????? So here we go! Kickin’ things off with a lil’ Princess Jasmine action.

(I’m open to villains and animal sidekicks too ????) ......... #????>? #piesareawesome #piestagram #pastryart #thepieous #ilovepie #disneyprincesscake #disneyprincessart #disneyprincess #pieart #yeahbutwhatdoesitlooklikebaked #abmlifeissweet #imsomartha #undiscoveredbaker #f52gram @thefeedfeed @thecupcakeproject @buzzfeedfood @tastemade @thebakefeed #thebakefeed #buzzfeast #gloobyfood #bakemag #bhgfood #bakeandshare #princessjasmine #food52 #huffposttaste
