I made a Toge-pie!

Yesterday was National Pie Day (not to be confused with Pi Day), so I wanted to make a Pokemon pie to celebrate! This is a mixed berry pie with a graham cracker crust and a pastry top decorated to look like a Togepi-themed Pokeball, with the baby Pokemon sleeping nearby.



Someone once suggested I made a Togepi pie, and I loved the idea so much I decided to go for it! I’ve been really inspired by ThePieous/Pies Are Awesome lately, and I used a lot of her suggestions for my creation.

I used this recipe for the graham cracker crust and filling, which featured strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. The pie crust was store-bought, and I used a combination of a sharp precision blade, cookie cutters, and a pizza cutter to cut out all of the shapes. I used an egg wash to make the different layers stick and give it a nice shine. To get the colours, I used vanilla extract for the darker areas (though they came out less dark than I was hoping), and I combined coconut extract with red, pink, and blue food colour to paint the shapes and Togepi’s toe beans.



This is the second Pokemon pie I’ve ever made (and second pie ever) after my Illumise pie from last Pi Day. I think I improved significantly - ThePieous had a lot of fantastic tips and tricks I didn’t know about when making my first pie, and it made a huge difference! The pastry still rose in uneven ways I didn’t expect, which impacted the design a bit, but I think it came out well!

This may have been one of the most delicious things I’ve ever baked! It’s especially delicious while warm! The graham cracker crust and berry filling were a delicious combination, and I’ve decided you’ll have to pry my graham cracker crust from my cold, dead hands. ;D



Thanks for reading!
