As Thanksgiving approaches, today's story is about one of the most important and delicious parts of Thanksgiving diner—pies. Liz Joy's pies tell a story like no other.
They tell stories from tales we all know, like Little Red Riding Hood. She does tasteful references to Peter Pan, Ursula, and Ariel, from Disney, and Khaleesi with her dragon from Game Of Thrones. And Liz tells unique narratives of her own, like a girl in a little snow globe, a boy having adventures in the wild, or a fairy sitting on the edge of the moon.
Her other pies are more subtle, and cover seasonal themes like autumn, Christmas, and floral themes. In any case, it's fair to say that her pies are eaten with one's eyes first. And perhaps the narrative draws us in so much, that they look too beautiful to eat...

I do not regard so, Esmeralda. Thy pie is exquisite, Hungry Panda.
This is a Cake?? Never thought I 'd say this but I could NEVER Eat It!
It’s a pie, I would never eat it either! Maybe I’d donate it to a museum

Once I started brainstorming design concepts, I also realized they're a unique medium for storytelling. I love the storytelling aspect and usually focus on creating a sense that the viewer is peeking into a unique edible world.
Looks to me like having a few trillion colors to tune into by computer has really crystallized confectionary tone!!
One of my all time favorites of your pies. That is saying a lot because they are ALL beautiful and enchanting.
Look how lovingly the moon looks at the fairy, kinda a proud dad look...
Liz admitted that she's very proud of her work, and told the reason why. "I've created a number of fairy tale and storybook-type art pies that I'm very proud of. My favorites, though, are the designs I bake for my dad, retelling some of his childhood stories."
Brilliant- I love how you used the the fruit fillings to help mimic the sunset.
MERMAID! MERMAID! MERMAID!! this is my favorite! And the dinglehopper in the background! Also I love the ring
I just noticed that she does her nails to match each pie. That is so extra and so AWESOME!
Liz Joy loves to bake. Her Instagram is a testament to it. She makes anything related to baking: from cookies, to doughnuts, to full-blown cakes, and most relevant to today's story—pies. And she does them with a twist. She recreates fashion items that celebrities wear, lingerie, and other cool stuff in her confectionery. We suggest checking her awesome works out on her Instagram to see for yourselves.

I admire thine imagination. Thou should'st begin thine own bakery.
I hate it when baked girls made from dough look better then me! :sigh:
This is Soooooo amazing looks like one of the elves from lord of the rings
Pumpkin pie! Is this a sunset scene viewed from above? The pie thou hast left bare appeareth as a lake.👍
Another exquisite pumpkin pie. I admire thy leaves. They blend nicely with thy pie.
My uncle did that twice. Apparently him and his friend's would shoot at hives to see which one could run for the longest.
Oh wow actually sounds fun, but dangerous.

The detail on these is amazing! And the fact she matches her jewellery and nail varnish to each bake *italian moi noise*
Has anyone noticed how she changes her manicure to match the cakes?
What makes them amazing to me is the fact that she does not simply wraps the whole cake in fondant like so many other artsy bakers, making them inedible. These on the other hand look really amazing.
I bet you she gets asked by loser influencers if she will make them one for free for the "promotion".
Wow, wow, wow. I am super impressed. These pies are incredible and beautiful. Love them.
