I started making pies as a way to deal with the boredom of our first Covid lockdown in March.

I’m a mum of two boys and work part-time in graphic design. In the first lockdown we had in Auckland, New Zealand, I started to make pies as a way of relieving the boredom, fulfilling my creativity, and also getting dinner on the table!

My pies are mostly inspired by my family, my moods, and internet culture. They are a mix of social commentary and sweet delights. I work on each pie for over 3 days in my spare time and it takes my family about 5 minutes to eat!!

Woa ! is this cake as good as it looks ? "How pretty you are! How beautiful you seem to me! I’m not lying, if your voice Is like your plumage, You are the phoenix of all the inhabitants of these woods."

This is awesome! I wonder what kind of dough is she using because mine always looks f**ked up in in the end.

I tried to make a fried egg this morning. I end up having scrambled eggs for breakfast. Those are my cooking skills.

    The Homer Pie

    The Homer Pie

    The Homer pie was made as an apology to my husband. I was a bit grumpy one night in lockdown and bit his head off. He backed out of the room like the meme of Homer backing into the hedge. It made me laugh, so I made a pie about it.

    Thank you! I'm sure yours are better than you give yourself credit for. I think being kind to yourself about your creative journey is the key. There are heaps of things I hate about my pies, but I decided to ignore my inner critic and just keep making (and eating ;-)). If you celebrate what you love about your work, others will too.

    Letting The Days Go Pie

    Letting The Days Go Pie

    "Letting the days go pie" is another music-inspired bake. It felt appropriate to the Covid situation and one of my favorite Talking Heads songs. As with the "Let's dance, Grum-pie Cat," I love Bowie—and internet memes, so I made a pie about that too.

    The FBGM Pie

    The FBGM pie is another internet-inspired pie. I love the juxtaposition between the periodic table and hip-hop culture: only on the internet can you find such things. If you translate all those elements into their symbols it comes out as: (F)fluorine (U)uranium (C)carbon (K)potassium (Bi)bismuth (Tc)technetium (He)helium (S)sulfur (Ge)germanium (Tm)thulium (O)oxygen (Ne)neon (Y)yttrium—a Junior Mafia song sung by Notorious B.I.G.

    At first glance I thought Tom Lehrer, and started humming the Major General tune... but the words didn't fit at all. Different background I guess! I got the substitution but not knowing the reference I was totally lost... "A gigolo's motto?"
