This week's Sweet Melissa Sundays pick, Coconut Custard Pie, was chosen by Ruby of I Dream of Baking. This is the first recipe I've made in a while since I've been busy with ice cream cupcakes. I apologize to Tess and Carmen, but I hope that I can make those recipes soon! Now that I'm on "vacation" in Southern California, I don't exactly know how much I'll be baking. I should be back in Berkeley by the first full week of June - I got to start moving into my new apartment a couple blocks from my current one.
This pie was made on the same day the Pina Colada cupcakes were made. I used the same whipped cream and topped it off with some toasted coconut.
I actually don't know how it tasted because at the party, everyone had the cupcakes, but no pie. I hope that everyone else tasted their pie and hope it was amazing!
Your pie looks beautiful! Nice job decorating it! I am sure it tasted amazing too. Pina colada cupcakes are hard to compete with ;). Working on my pie later today. I'll let you know how it turns out!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I wish I had added whipped creme to mine!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pie, Nina! I hope you enjoy your break and your move goes well!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pie! I hope you are enjoying your well deserved time off.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty pie Nina! I didn't try mine either but I hear it was pretty tasty. Hope you're enjoying summer vacation :)
ReplyDeleteHi Nina!
ReplyDeleteHow are you? I never got a chance to congratulate you on getting through your finals- I'm so proud of you, and super excited you'll have some extra time to bake! Before I comment on your pie, I have to tell you that I love your Phish food cupcakes- so clever! AND THOSE PIPED CHOCOLATE FISH! OMG they are BEYOND adorable, and I am majorly impressed by your mad piping skills, haha! I'll definitely have to try that technique- but I'd love it if you'd share a few tips with me first!
On to your pie- I'm sorry it wasn't the most popular of the desserts you served (those other cupcakes were probably just TOO good) but I still think your pie looks great. And I'm sure whoever gave it a try did in fact enjoy it immensely :)
Hope you're off relaxing somewhere- yay for vacation- and I hope to hear from you again soon :) Have a wonderful week!
<3,
Joy
Your pie is gorgeous! I don't know that I have the patience to make my whipped cream look that beautiful!
ReplyDeletethat looks awesome. i have to agree with tessa -- i just don't have the patience to make things look that pretty, but this is one of my favorite kinds of pie to make.
