6 Unique Pie Crusts to Impress Your Guests

November 16, 2016 · 1 Comment

Whether it’s apple, pumpkin or pecan, pie is the quintessential fall dessert especially for  Thanksgiving. But just because the flavors are classic flavors, doesn’t mean pies have to look the same every year. These days there are so many beautiful lattice pies and ones decorated with seasonal leaves all over the Internet. Lovely golden strips of pastry, cut into so many different shapes, crisscrossed and layered atop delicious fruit fillings. Some creations are almost too beautiful to eat! With Thanksgiving a week away I wanted share a few fun and unique crust embellishments to inspire your traditional holiday pie. Remember pie is never about perfection, it’s about a delicious flaky crust made to seal in slowly baked goodness. A little embellishment goes a long way, so get creative and have fun with these easy ways to take your Thanksgiving pies to the next level!

Instead of a classic crimped edge, use a pretty braid to seal your beautiful lattice work. Another simple way to switch up that lattice top is to make it look like plaid.  Use strips with varying thicknesses and change up how you weave each. It’s a subtle change, but it makes each pie unique.

Say it with Words

6 Unique Pie Crusts to Impress Your Guests | Dreamery EventsWant to really impress with your pie skills, write out a word in a pretty font. Love or Grateful, would adorable, but it would be a perfect way to write Apple and let guests know each flavor. Print out a thick font and use it to cut your pie crust. This would really stand out on a pumpkin pie.

Blueberry + Lemon Mint PieThis is probably the pie topper design I use the most. It’s pretty quick to prep and assemble, and looks really pretty. Use varying sizes for a variation or make three dimensional.

Polka dots make pie fun. They are a fullproof way to great the perfect edge or cut out tiny  circles using a pastry tip to make a honeycomb pattern. It’s one of my faves.

I’ve never been one to connect with the color pu I’ve never been one to connect with the color purple much, & yes I believe everyone connects to colors in certain ways. And yet, Clematis are some of my favorite flowers🌿

For a brief few Spring days each year, the garden is a vision of purples....deep rich violets that almost look black, their sheen like velvet, delicate lavenders & pretty mauves that flutter in the breeze. Nature is a true delight for the soul🤍

They’re calling for a too hot, too soon kind of weekend, but we’ll be surrounded w. love celebrating a special wedding at a lovely location! Hope this weekend brings you moments of rest & joy, that allow you to look at all that is blooming🌱…
tiny joyous things🌿 ... I try not to lose sight tiny joyous things🌿 ... I try not to lose sight of the fact I get to create & "work" w. beautiful flowers; one of the things I love so much & one of the joyful parts of creating & sharing my work w. others. But this whole social media thing is weird right, the world is weird & broken right now -- as creatives seems like are new age question is "do I post this pretty picture when this is really happening right now?! but it's also kind of my job to put my work out there for others to see, right?!" ... but I’m learning, funny enough, by some inspiring women on this platform, it's ok to feel all these things while also sharing the joyous, cool & helpful things we are all working on, creating & hoping to bring into this world. Life is filled w. beautiful & sad moments, happiness, joy, grief, fear, doubt, love. All the tiny things🤍

& if anyone watched last night's This is Us, how beautiful was their telling of one's final moments, looking back at life. Ugh my heart😢
There’s one word to describe the first full even There’s one word to describe the first full event of the season…ethereal🤍

Event season is in full swing & it’s nice to finally step aside from planning to bring all the ideas, time & details to life!
“We are like {blossoms}; holding on, letting go, “We are like {blossoms}; holding on, letting go, rising & falling into our weathered souls…” - Angie Weiland-Crosby🌼

May is the start of a busy few months of events, so I’m going to make sure I prioritize Rest whenever I can. But also plenty of garden days, living & cherishing simple moments — because when the busy days will feel like a blur or the state of the world (big/small) only adds to the mental drain, I know these will be the things that keep me going🤍
