It's Pie Season! Time to be an Evil Pie Genius!
What do I look like, an Evil PIE Genius? Well, as much as that is NOT in her job description, moniker, or skill set, people always expect the ECG to be able to whip out perfect desserts of every kind. And she's got news for you...it's taken years of slow, cruel experimentation on the Evil Cake Husband to get her pie game even semi-decent.
And now she's gonna share her tricks with you!
Just like cake decorating, it's all about having the right tools for the job. That's why we've gathered all of the ECG's essential Pie-making tools all in one glorious Pie Making Category. Now let's talk about some of her favorite tools that make pie, well, easy as pie!
Prep Tools
In the spirit of getting to the pretty stuff faster, the ECG has tried out every gadget, gizmo, and hoo hah for pie prep. From her favorite Pastry Mat and Rolling Pin Set (with measuring grid printed right on the mat!) to the thickness guide rings, these are the tools that are worthy of every inch of storage space that they take up in her over-crowded kitchen.

Her favorite of them all? That Magical Apple Machine Thingy...the ECG uses it for ANY recipe that calls for Apples, from salads to Apple Butter, and of course, Pies and Tarts. It peels, cores, and slices apples in seconds. You'll feel positively drunk with power.
Here it is in action:
Now, let's move onto the ECG's specialty...making pretty food! For years, her pie crusts suffered from her perfectionism. She would overwork the dough in her quest for a beautiful pie, and succeed in making a work of art that had the texture of shoe-leather. Then, she learned to get maximum pretty with minimum handling with a few of her favorite methods.
1) Lattice Cutters

2) Edge Imprinters
Whether you're doing a double or single crust pie, the edge of the crust can make a big impression without over-working it with her favorite imprinters, or by covering a traditional edge with embossed cut outs! And don't forget the pie crust shields for perfectly baked edges without the hassle!
