This San Diego Baker Turns Pies Into Works Of Art That Are Almost Too Pretty to Eat

This baker turns pies into works of art and you’re going to fall head over heels in love with them!

I have seen cakes and pastries decorated beautifully, with perfectly smooth fondant and dainty buttercream designs.

But I have never seen anything like these pies, Lauren Ko the owner of LOKOKITCHEN turns pies into true works of art!

Those are potatoes! What is this wizardry?! I know how to make mashed potatoes and that’s about it… is that fancy?

She doesn’t just make traditional dessert pies (as if there is anything traditional about her pies in the first place), she also makes savory pies such as a Baked Chicken And Pepper Sauce Pie.

I am pretty sure we have all seen the cute basketweave apple pies or pumpkin pies with puff pastry leaves on top, but those don’t compare to these… not one bit.
