Pie: visual love (Pies by Kate Lebo)

Just a short post to show the photos I am submitting for the Cake Vs. Pie Photo Contest in Edible Seattle Magazine.  I am sad I wasn't able to attend the fabulous event put together by Edible Seattle, Jenise Silva and Cake Spy Shop.  But I was able to spend the afternoon with Poet and Pie Woman extraordinaire, Kate Lebo, to document her pie-making process.  These five images are for the photo contest, but I shot a whole 2 gigabytes worth of pie-making goodness that I'll be posting very soon. 

The pies you will see here are:  Spicy Ginger-Peach Pie (the one Kate entered in Cake Vs. Pie) and Fresh Fruit and Mascarpone Almond Crust Pie (gluten-free).  Pie making is art. No question about it.  It can require different techniques and dynamic depending on the pie being made.  I was able to see that when Kate made these two beauties yesterday.  And even got to bring home a Slice of Heaven.

Enjoy! 

(Update:  Kate won "Best in Show" with this pie.  Read her impressions about it and get the recipe here.  Congratulations, Kate!)

What gorgeous photos! You're quite a talent, Valentina. Can't wait to see the rest of them. I feel like I'm looking at my kitchen and pie, even my own hand, from an entirely new angle.

Thanks, Kate. You're amazing. It was wonderful to spend time with you while you were making your pies. It seems to be such a joyful, effortless and fun process for you. It was lovely to share it!

Thank you again for having me in your home.
