That is what I did the Saturday before Easter. I baked, A LOT! We also ran to the store a few different times because we forgot things.
I made two cherry pies, a lemon meringue pie and two chocolate mousse cheesecakes *not pictured* I cheated and bought my pie crusts *hangs head* I really wanted to make them and I was going to, but I don't have a rolling pin and I doubt the empty wine bottle I was using for cookies, would've worked for pie crusts. I'm actually really glad I bought the crusts because if I had to make my own, I would have been baking all night as well as ALL day.
All of my pies turned out great! I didn't burn any of them, nor did I under-cook any of them. Everyone ate at least a piece of pie as well as taking some home for later.
I might have done a little TOO well with Easter because I am now to have Easter at my house every year. I don't mind it. I was awfully proud of myself for pulling it all off. I can't take ALL the credit, Husband did do some of the preparations.
As soon as I get my rolling pin, I'm going to bust out a bunch of pie crusts. Just so I can show everyone that I can make them better then Marie Calenders does.
Go and see what the rest of the class brought for Show and Tell.

Took you long enough to blog these! I was lucky enough to see them the day they were made. Hurrah for txt'ing!
Now get in the kitchen and make me a pie!
No points off for tardiness from this classmate - I posted an Easter tidbit today too!!
Great looking pies -mmmmm - and thanks so much for your iclw comment. It really touched me.
Holy geeze those look delicious! :)
They look scrumptious!
I think Heaven must be a place with a fresh-baked cherry pie dispenser.
:-)
They look so yummy. I wish I had some of that Cheesecake! I hope you get that rolling pin soon!
Wow. Your pies belong in a magazine! Well, pictures of them...not the pies themselves.
Gorgeous! No wonder everyone wants to come to your house for Easter!
*ICLW*
YUM! Great job!
Now I have Custard Pie by Zeppelin stuck in my head! LOLOLOL
Yummy! Looks like a magazine photo!
I'm a good cook, but I always make subpar food for gatherings, so that I don't get asked to host and to make all the fancy dishes. I don't want all the work. lol
Like others said, those are gorgeous. I can make yummy things, but not pretty ones. I'm jealous.
Beautiful pies. When are you bringing one to my house?
Looks like this week's show and tell is full of food! The pies look great. If I can give some advice on the rolling pin... get one the doesn't have handles. A long wooden one that tapers at the ends works great for all kinds of baking. I always find it easier to roll the pin with my hands near the middle. Handles just get in the way.
Happy baking! :)
Oh.my.god... Can I hire you to cook for Shelby and myself? Those look like a slice of heaven.
I love to cook, and if you're up for it, I'll trade you a few recipes for these delicious pies!
-Mr. Shelby
Yum! Will you come make us some pies, purddy pwease!
Yum!!!!! Wanna come to my house next Easter? Of course, you have to provide the desserts!
You didn's post the chocolate mousse cheesecakes? Travesty. I totally would have liked the screen. The other pies look delish, though. Care to share the recipe for those chocolate mousse cheesecakes? :)
oh my goodness - how awesome do they look!
mmm This post makes me hungry!
Uhhhh...YUM! Oh...making me want more sweets...
Yummy yummy!!
They look DELICIOUS!
Some unsolicited advice: I really prefer French rolling pins to regular. Since they don't have moving parts, they are much easier to clean, plus I feel like I have more direct control by using my body weight to press without accounting for the spinning motion.
(Full disclosure: I don't actually like to make or eat pies, but I do have lots of pastry experience of all kinds.)
yummy!!!!
ICLW
Mmmmmm! The pies look fab-boo-lous! What a talented baker! You should see the sorry-ass pie crusts I make...or "try" to make might be more accurate. :)
Good work. I give them an A++.
I'm drooling over here! There are beautiful. I'm so glad that hosting Easter exceeded your expectations.
I am not going to comment unless you make me taste some of that which you can't hence, I won't comment!!!!
: )
Just kidding....looks yum!
Just beautiful! I've always found pie crusts challenging. If you have a good recipe and mthodology, would love to hear!
Frig, I love pies - my favourite is apple pie and lemon meringue! Mmmm.
Making crust is a little tricky, don't cheap out on the shortening -no name won't do and don't overknead, that's the trick to flaky pie crusts.
Sweet cherry pie ! YUM - love the little hearts on the top Very cute!
What amazing pies! Of course you are going to host Easter every year now! I'm not surprised at all.
Are Easter garter belts going to become a tradition as well?!?!
