Don’t mind me, friends, I’m just enjoying the wonder and splendor that are these beautiful pies this morning! Aren’t they truly a work of art? Lauren Ko lives in Seattle, and she started making these creations just a year ago. Yes!! A YEAR AGO!! Can you believe that?
“I come from a family of eaters and phenomenal home cooks, so it feels a bit like I’ve been cooking and baking my whole life,” she says.
Her Instagram is filled to the brim with her delicious creations, and I’m particularly fond of Starry Nut, her take on the Van Gogh classic Starry Night!
Lauren also says she’s forever brainstorming new color combos, and, boy, does it show! I’m loving all the color that’s bursting from these photos, aren’t you? Which pie is your favorite? Aren’t you hungry just looking at these photos?? xoxo
Do you go apple picking in the fall?

These are soo great! I like the Instagram account of thepieous. She makes incredible pies featuring celebs to intricate pies to just pies you don’t want to eat because they’re so well-made! Definitely check her out too.

Melissa, Thanks for the neat story and pictures! But especially, thank you for the commentary on the fate of the troll that was posted on CNN.com. The decline of civility and common curtesy in the era of the Internet is disappointing to me (a 72 year old fat, balding white guy) and concerns me about the future of the civilization. Your comments brought back some hope for better times to come, and a reminder that we must all speak out, and not just say “Oh, well”. Thanks, Terry

My own pies now pale in comparison. But thanks so much for spreading beauty at this wonderful blog. I’m glad you are part of our Illinois blogging community. Author LB Johnson, rescue dog mom, and Chicagoan.
