During the pandemic, I became obsessed with pie making. From there, each pie I’ve made has become more challenging, decretive, and time-consuming than the last.

Now I’m in a pastry portrait deep dive. I find it endlessly fascinating and have designed a recipe and technique that allows me to use pastry-like clay.

Dinner with the Queen

I felt really sad when she died and wanted to honor her dignity and strength the best way I could. So I made a strawberry pie which I served with fresh whipped cream. Her jewelry is made from royal icing (of course).

My most commonly asked question is what do you do with them after? To which I reply, we eat them!

Elisabeth Moss from Handmaid’s Tale is a total badass, it’s one of the only shows my husband and I watch together. This one’s a classic apple pie which I thought suited the theme.

I love his work, his story is so sad but he never gave up, and I find that inspirational. This pie was a baked blueberry cheesecake-pie situation, I used a blueberry sauce swirl to reference the background of his actual portrait.

And no, it’s not too hard to cut it up, it’s totally the best part!

Biggie’s laid-back East Coast beats were the soundtrack to meeting my husband all those years ago, so of course, I had to pie him. This pie had a chocolate crust, cinnamon, and sage-scented creme patisserie, and was topped with a cherry compote.

No point going to all that effort if they don’t taste delicious

An Ode to Santa

Last on this year’s list is the big man himself, Santa. This is a lemon meringue tart with creme d’amande. His beard is Swiss meringue.

His glasses are made from pastry and a type of melted sugar called isomalt

Honestly, though, my family is a bit sick of eating pies all the time, but I do hope you enjoyed seeing them!

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).

Oh wow! This is unbelievable! As the pies and food get baked, they change shape and color and everything. This woman is a sorcerer! 😲😯 She made the impossible, possible 🏆

Holy sweet spaghetti how is this even possible????? It's too early to wrap my head around this process, and I cannot figure out how the baker did this? I've seen some cool stuff before but this is mind blowing!

Really stunning ability! Why not switch to a permanent form of sculpture. It's not you, baby- it's me. I don't want my pie to have a face. Keep it up though! You amaze!
