if you liked octopus cake, you'll love herringbone pie

Behold!











This one was a collaboration between me and cupric_acetate; I made the pie dough and she did the hard bit. Here is how to do a herringbone lattice pie. Here is how to make a vegan pie crust such that even I can't fuck it up.

This one managed to be beautiful and delicious. Well, the octopus cake did taste good, don't get me wrong, I will take pie over cake any day, and i just prefer baked goods that are less sweet. The filling is wild blueberry, from frozen, with some sugar, lemon juice, and corn starch. It came out perfectly and tasted like pure bliss.

Holy wow that is gorgeous and looks super delicious.

It seriously was.

I can't take credit for the gorgeous part, beyond making dough that held together and was easy to roll out, because I would not have the patience to do a lattice like this.

Back when I was baking a pie a week, I did standard lattices a lot, so I think I could learn this. It's awesome, by the way.

I think I'm going to try with a standard lattice first and work up to this.

That's so beautiful I almost couldn't eat it! (Almost)

I admittedly had to hesitate.

One of the reasons it's so structurally sound is that we actually waited for it to cool for once. Because we weren't capable of eating it. So we watched episodes of food shows and waited.

I also prefer pie to cake. Don't get me wrong, I like cake. But pie is just.....divine. And more likely to contain fruit, which I also love.

[sabotabby]

Yeah, cake that contains fruit is sometimes Problematic. But pie that contains fruit is the Correct Political Line.
