How Sweet It Is



When I think of pie, I think of my brother (and these little egg dudes). He is the pie master. However, I think by the time I finish my fundamentals of baking course...I'll be able to win a pie throw down against him. Wham! Just like Bobby Flay. Nah, kidding! Kind of. But anyways, I'm two weeks into my Fundamentals of Baking class and I'm stoked! We've made chiffon pie, cream pie, apple pie, French silk pie...I feel like Bubba Gump naming all of the pies. But seriously, life has been a baking fiesta lately. 

Let me share with you what I've made so far in the past two weeks.
First off, the pies:


French Silk Pie

French Silk topped with ganache





Lemon Meringue

Apple pie topped with struesel. Yeah, it's not the cutest. But it tasted good...anything with struesel is AMAZING. Butter, sugar, flour and cinnamon. How can you go wrong with that?




Vanilla cream pie with ganache on the bottom and layers of fresh strawberries. Yum!
