Happy Pi Day! Guess what I’ve got for you?
Baker Lauren Ko (A.K.A. Loko Kitchen) is a wizard with geometry. And color gradients. And pie. All of my favorite things wrapped up in one, really. A secretary by day, Ko is (are you sitting down?) SELF TAUGHT, and only started making pies 3 years ago. Can you believe it? These amazing creations were made by an amateur!
“I’m an executive assistant with no professional culinary or pastry training/experience. What I have to show is simply a product of going for it with a measure of patience and a sharp knife.”
– Lauren Ko interview with Mic
Ko doesn’t even sell her masterpieces. After over-pieing her “poor” husband, she says she now gives the pies away to friends, neighbors, and coworkers. Lucky, lucky people!
You can follow Lauren Ko on her Loko kitchen website and on Instagram.

I do love pie …not sure how some of these would taste but aren’t they beautifully done. I almost get dizzy trying to figure one or two out. Where did she start?…on the middle or on the edge?

That’s an excellent question! She should do instructional videos.

I do AND I know that I am lucky. She brought me some croissants today. She doesn’t do many (any?) pies these days so I am drooling over those posted.

I’d give an eye tooth for a fresh croissant.

I very much admire the beauty of this delicious art but I absolutely do not have the patience to even attempt to replicate it. Well, maybe the one with the strips arranged in a swirl, but not any of the others.

I just love them. I think if I had a free afternoon and the right soundtrack, I could spend a very happy few hours artistically fiddle-fucking with pretty foodstuffs.

I suspect I am too much of a hungry cow for all the faffing. I want to get to the eating part!

You’re thinking about this the wrong way. The best part about cooking and baking is the snacking.

They really are amazing. Bad week to have computer problems, since it looks like we’re going to have to live our lives online for awhile.
