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.

This Soba Tom Yum Noodle dish, inspired by @chriss This Soba Tom Yum Noodle dish, inspired by @chrissyteigen recipe wouldn’t be considered traditional but it does celebrate the beautiful Thai flavors I love. I’ll take all the spice & lemongrass please🍜😋!! It’s certainly become a staple of mine, one I’ve recreated several times & I highly recommend you save in your back pocket because it will leave you craving more...& more!! 

I used to post lots of recipes on the blog ‘til weddings/events/design took center stage & hoping to do so more again. Get this recipe on the blog now!
I read something yesterday, that made me instantly I read something yesterday, that made me instantly stop & reflect..."Some people think that having Hope makes you naive, but in my mind, it's so much harder to choose Hope over being angry or frustrated..." As someone who considers herself quite a hopeful person, I've had this on my mind since. Let's not confuse Hope w. toxic positivity {in which negative feelings or hardships are pushed aside}, when there is Hope, we still acknowledge our worries, the drawbacks of life, the sadness but still know that there is good.

We've all been doing our best nearing a year into this pandemic; the lives lost, families broken, the uncertain long-term issues, jobs, livelihoods disrupted & most recently too many people to count, struggling after a natural disaster. My heart breaks & is w. all of you, but despite the darkness, what I've also seen during these trying times...is Hope & Love. Communities & strangers coming together to help one another however way they can, even when they too are struggling to get by. That right there, is Hope. Be gentle with yourself, be gentle w. those around you. We’re all doing the best we can🤍
