Everyone loves pie at Thanksgiving, right? But this baker took things to a whole new level. Regardless of if you want to find inspiration for your own baking or if you just want to drool over the creative beauty of her work, definitely check out these masterful pies!
Helen Nugent, owner of Pie-Eyed Girl, is a self-taught baker who makes beautiful goods. The homemade pies that she has to offer are truly putting us in the Thanksgiving spirit and are definitely a must-see.
From braided pumpkins to toppers that look like turkeys, her pies are truly exquisite. She’s even got an interpretation of “Starry Night” that may put the original to shame.
“Sending some colour your way this morning with a hypnotic vegetable tart that whispers in your ear, ‘You are getting very hungry.’ Van Gogh’s Starry Nights served as inspiration for this savory, swirly tart, featuring a peppery crust, creamy sour cream and pesto base, and heirloom carrots, zucchini, and squash wound tightly into spirals and baked to sweet, carmelized perfection,” her description reads.
She offers a lot of her recipes, inspiration, and tips in her cookbook, Pie Style: Stunning Designs and Flavorful Fillings You Can Make at Home. It makes for a great Christmas gift for your friends and loved ones. We’re going to level with you here: we are buying one for ourselves first!
