Our cross to square. ????I Even though I now live in the Pacific Northwest, Southern California will always be home. Growing up, wildfires were frighteningly normal. Our high school was regularly converted into an evacuation center. Friends lost homes, we lost classmates. It was harrowing then and now. California is currently deep into its worst fire in history. @calfund has a list of organizations to donate to if you’re able (link in my story) and interested. It shouldn’t take disaster to bring us together, but it’s never a bad time to expand our community. I Cherries, plums, and raspberries from my summer freezer stash and repurposed cutout scraps from a few pies back. ? . . . . . . . . . . #lokokitchen #cherry #beet #pie #pieart #square #cross #ourcrosstobear #california #homesweethome #Campfire #Woolseyfire #Hillfire #Griffithparkfire #wildfirerelief #calfund #community #buzzfeast #huffposttaste #f52grams #myanthropologie #foodandwine #designforall #whpcolorplay #heresmyfood #bhgbaking #marthabakes #imsomartha #yeahbutwhatdoesitlooklikebaked

Inspider tip. ????| Some people have it all together. They seem perpetually ghoul, calm, and collected. Life is always fine and candy. But walk a mile in their boos and you’ll see that creep down inside, we’re all the same haunt mess, trying to make the ghost of it. And that’s just how the spooky crumbles. ????| This pie looks more concha (ahem, the Mexican sweet bread, ya pervs) than spiderweb, but this one’s for you, @mariesaba! And for the love of ???????, #thisisbaked, witches. ???? . . . . . . . . . . #lokokitchen #strawberry #cherry #rhubarb #chocolate #pie #pieart #spiderweb #concha #halloween #insidertip #spookypuns #f52grams #buzzfeast #huffposttaste #onmytable #cupcakeproject #saveur #bareaders #bhgfood #foodandwine #mypinterest #mywilliamssonoma #psimadethis #marthabakes #imsomartha #heresmyfood #seattle

Top to autumn. ????| This year has been a colossal pumpkin grind. So many events have struck a gourd and it feels like we’re skating on thin spice. Oh to simply squash our hands of the matter. But we must do harvest to keep pushing through. Let’s band together as thick as leaves and put the fall tales to rest. See you at the polls. ??| Hand-sliced cardamom pear tart; revisiting an old favorite with fresh produce. ???? . . . . . . . . . . #lokokitchen #pear #cardamom #tart #tartart #waves #fall #autumn #harvest #ohmygourd #thickasthieves #talltales #toptobottom #getoutandvote #f52grams #buzzfeast #huffposttaste @huffpostasianvoices #foodandwine #bareaders #marthabakes #imsomartha #bhgfood #mywilliamssonoma #fromwherewedesign #designforall @design #whpcolorplay #seattle

I’ll be teaching TWO multi-generational pie design classes @bainbridge_barn in December! The workshops are specifically for youth (ages 8-14) to participate with an adult. It’s going to be grand and there will be gingerbread caramel and pies fries involved. ???????? Only 24 total spots available. Check my story for the link to snag your spots! | Brown sugar pear pie with miso caramel as a thank you for holding down the fort while I was away.

Started from the autumn, now we’re here. ????| @rainn reported an 147% increase in calls to the National Sexual Assault Hotline (800-656-4673) yesterday. Regardless of your stance on current proceedings, sexual violence is unfortunately a reality for so many and I guarantee that everyone knows someone who has been directly affected. Please. Take care of yourselves and those around you today. Claim the help and support you deserve. Extend the love and strength you want boomeranging back. We’re better when we hold each other up. ???????? . . . . . . . . . . #lokokitchen #apple #ombre #tart #tartart #autumn #rainn #believesurvivors
