A friend of ours got married this morning on 3.14 and I made some of the goodies for the rehearsal dinner and one of the pies served at the reception. The pie cookies were so much fun to make – our house was busy brainstorming flavors all week and when the decorating started every edible accessory was on the counter – marshmallows, chocolate shavings, graham crackers, coconut…and fondant “crusts” in lattice shapes or rustic.
E came up with the way to do apple pie by pointing out that it’s really just a pile of apples with cinnamon sugar on top…and so it was.
Getting into the fourth dozen we were reaching a bit…and came up with sweet potato pie.
And we couldn’t leave out key lime…although as everyone knows, it’s much better with an oreo cookie crust.
The wedding pie, ready for baking. It was blueberry to allow a certain bride and groom to paddle around in it.
You know, the kind of bride and groom that like to paddle.
Congratulations R+D! It was a blast.
