She’s the mastermind behind the viral Instagram page Pie Lady Books, who’s making the most picture-perfect pies inspired by her favorite novels. Making pies was one of Hockersmith’s favorite pastimes long before her creations went viral on Instagram. She’s been making them for over a decade, and going gluten-free inspired her to dig deeper and start experimenting with her go-to pie crust recipe. She eventually started sharing her creations on Instagram, and something extraordinary happened when she came up with the idea to mix her passion for baking and reading into one. “It became this huge passion for me that I never saw coming… There’s certain books that the covers just speaks to me and I think ‘I’ve gotta make this into a pie. Sometimes I make them into a pie before I even read them, but most of the time I’m trying to feature books that I’ve loved or am excited about,” she told Good Morning America. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Steph Hockersmith (@pieladybooks) Hockersmith’s page is now a safe haven for all the book lovers out there looking for their next read. In addition to celebrating timeless classics we all know and love, she enjoys using her platform to introduce us to new books worth reading – mostly in the form of delicious pies.

But, as Jessica Leigh Clark-Bojin shows us, they can be much more. View this post on Instagram Those of you who know me well, know that Jim Henson and Brian Froud were two of my biggest artistic inspirations growing up… which is why I was so thrilled that YOU GUYS overwhelmingly voted for me to make “The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance” the subject of my next pie! Seriously, it wasn’t even close. I got hundreds of great suggestions but the one that came up over and over again was “something from Dark Crystal!” Not only am I pleased as punch to get to create this humble homage to one of my favorite shows (on Netflix now – go watch it!) I’m so happy to know that so many of you love it too! The use of real puppets and sets is just so special. To know that these worlds actually exist and can (in theory) be visited in real life makes me happy. Visiting those sets one day is my dream… ⠀⠀ I started making the Gelfling character “Deet” out of modeling chocolate (with a malt ball eye) but I didn’t have any green chocolate paint to tint her skin, and also decided she needed a more defiant expression so I switched her to “Brea.” So we’ve got Brea’s coloring and expression on Deets features Bit of artistic license! I’m happy with how the Skeksis Chamberlain turned out though – he’s just pie crust painted with gel color mixed with vanilla extract. ⠀⠀ Have you seen the show yet? If a “Jim Henson World” theme park existed, what fictional locations would you just love to visit – The Pigs in Space set? Labyrinth? Fraggle Rock? Sesame Street? Farscape? The Muppet Babies Nursery? Let me know in the comments below, and thanks for all your great pie suggestions! ⠀⠀. #jimhenson #darkcrystal #brianfroud #lisahenson #wendyfroud #pieart @darkcrystalofficial @hensoncompany #ageofresistance #jimhensoncompany @netflix #thra #thedarkcrystalageofresistance #skeksis #gelfling #pie A post shared by Pies Are Awesome (@thepieous) on Sep 8, 2019 at 11:40pm PDT This talented Canadian baker is a real expert when it comes to pies, as she is able to turn them into real works of art. She is inspired by pop culture and she includes scenes from popular TV shows like Game of Thrones and blockbuster movies like Star Wars. As a matter of fact, her pies are so well crafted that you might have trouble digging into them in order not to spoil their artistic value. No matter how mouth-watering they are. “My mission is to show the world that not only can pies go head-to-head against the poshest wedding cakes and fancy-pants desserts on the most discerning buffet tables of the world, but that they can be fun and easy to pull off too!”- says Jessica on her official website. Check out some of her creations below. View this post on Instagram S-Pie-der Man sez “Happy Pi Day!” Since it’s a special occasion, I thought I’d share this pie I made for @marvel today too! Don’t forget to tag me in your Hero Pie posts, and remember, you can share any of my pie pics today with the hashtags #PieArt and #PiDay (and tag me in the description) to get in the draw to win one of two awesome Pie Art prize packs!

I’ve been meaning to bake one for ages since my son and all his friends are such big fans of Pusheen… BUT! I have a dilemma. I first intended to only make the pie “dough color” (swipe to see the original version) but my son saw it and insisted I must paint it grey to be “proper”. So I obliged- I do like how the little “pie” she’s holding pops out with the grey, but my husband saw it and instinctively said “ugh! Concrete pie!” So! Help me out – which version do you think is the superior pie – grey, or plain dough color? ⠀⠀ And hey, while we’re at it, what other lovable cuddly characters do you think I should pie up next? ⠀⠀ . #pusheen #pusheenthecat #pusheencake #pusheencat #pusheenparty #pusheenfan #pusheencookies #ilovepusheen #cakedecorating #cookiedecorating A post shared by Pies Are Awesome (@thepieous) on Aug 6, 2019 at 12:31am PDT View this post on Instagram Bomp bomp bomp, Another One Bites the Crust! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I thought about going with a Bohemian Raspberry pie, but opted instead for a Cherry Mercury since that’s my husband’s favorite. Either way, We are the Cham-pie-ons tonight ‘cause we get to dig into this delicious King of Queens! Okay I’m out, I’m completely out of Queen themed pie puns… unless you’ve got some more for me? Lay it on me in the comments! And heck, if you’ve got any miscellaneous pie puns that are brilliant/terrible, share those too!

I’m so excited to share this, my first ever collab with my friend and constant inspiration @luxeandthelady (who’s real name is also Jessica!) We’ve been looking for a collab to do together for a while and with the Springy holidays coming up (and the #pieartanimalscollab happening now until May 12th) she suggested we tackle Disney’s Bambi. Check out her page this afternoon to see Bambi’s good buddy Thumper! Jessica’s super Kawaii treats have always been a delight, but it’s her photo styling and sense of design that really blow my mind… I hope you love her work as much as I do! ⠀⠀ Now for me it’s time finish the last bit of tidying before the family arrives – we’re hosting Easter this year and as my son said “the Easter bunny is going to feel bad for coming here and dump all the eggs in the garbage if we don’t get the yard looking nicer” ⠀⠀ What are you baking this weekend? Any family traditions involving your own special treats? Share in the comments below! I love hearing about all the unique things people create for these big family holidays ⠀⠀ Oh! And before I forget – after your are done checking out Jessica’s fab Thumper pie – head over to my friend @coderxbaker who has just posted a gorgeous Bambi pie too!

Or is it “Jon & Ygritte 4eva” for you? Head on over to Liz’s profile to check out our pick for the ideal match for young Jon… ⠀⠀ This pie is blueberry with black sanding sugar and little crow “pie dough cookies”, also covered in black sanding sugar. I had a lot of fun making (and eating!) this one – the crows were fun to dip into the filling like little sparkly nachos. ⠀⠀ Now the real question… Who’s your favorite character on the show, and who do you think will be left standing at the end?
