of cake and pie (and pie… and cake)
i’ve been baking on my own since i was 14 (and started helping dad long before that) – which means i’ve been baking for *mumble* xmany *mumble* years. and in that time, i’ve always – always made pumpkin pie at thanksgiving. it’s what i do.
but this year’s gonna be different. this year – no pumpkin pie. *gasp!*
instead, i’m baking two things – the most beautiful apple pie i’ve ever laid eyes on, and a pumpkin-shaped, pumpkin-spice cake. and i admit, i’m a little nervous.
because this is what i want to bake:
it's so bee-you-tee-full!!!
and this:
is it real? or is it... cake?
and it stands to reason that someone with my experience and skill-set can, with some patience, and if i hold my tongue right, create these masterpieces. but what’s been running through my head since the day i committed to these two edible works of art, is that what i’m going to end up with is this:
screw the leaves, i'm just gonna pile the crust on... and pray
and this:
wait, pumpkins have green veins?
to be continued…
