I have always, always, always wanted to bake cup pies. You know, like the pie maker from Pushing Daisies. I want to be a beekeeper as well, so maybe Pushing Daisies and I just have a special connection! My friend Lauren has been baking pies for, like, a billion years. I’ve never baked one before in my life. She came over the other day and we (she) made blueberry cup pies without even using a recipe. And they were so, so good. The next day, I made more pie crust and used the rest of the blueberry filling to make heart-shaped pies. They were cute, but not super tasty. Moral of the story: Pie making takes a lot of skill and patience. For me, at least. :)

Like the lion face we made on one of the cup pies? That’s Lauren’s talented artwork.

Unfortunately, I don’t have a recipe to share. Just thought I would post some pictures of the process! What is your favorite kind of pie? Do you have any tips on getting pies just right?
