Cakes, cookies, and other edible creations.
Another pie for Pi Day (keeping the tradition going). I made the Hollywood star background from scratch as well. If you’ve seen The Substance, this is a funny pie… if you haven’t, this pie makes zero sense lol. I initially shared it by slowly sliding the pie onto the star from out of frame, while making pained noises, lol.
Shai-Hulud? More like Pie-Hulud! LOL. I made a sand worm from Dune for Pi Day 2024. It’s a chocolate pie with chocolate teeth and crushed graham cracker for the sand. (Tiny freman for scale.)
