Thanks! I could have done better, but I wasn't taking it anywhere. LOL!

That is what I will do then. I was leaning that way. I've made them before. They are very sweet! But, it's to be expected.

This is an easy recipe I found on-line. I had a perfect recipe and I lost it! Arghhh!

She uses buttercream frosting instead of the fondant. I like that better. Don't feel like messing with a bunch of marshmallows.

Thanks. I don't like mushy in the middle of a cake, so I pretty well wasn't going to do it. It would be more elegant, but I'd hate to go to the trouble and see pieces of cake in the trash. LOL!

I'm with you on that. I bake it, but I don't eat it.

Oh that sounds to die for!

I used to love Baker Square Pies, they had one with 5 layers-carmel, nuts, choc and the others I forgot. They went out of business =(

She tried and tried to teach us how to make her crust, but none of us really ever came close, it was just her special magic I guess. She made a mean raisin pie, delicious!

The crust can't be handled too much. Can't put too much or too less water. I have a perfect recipe that always works for me.

Those look very difficult, I hope they appreciate your hard work!

I'll check the recipe out. I've made them a couple of times - you have to be patient with them. I didn't use fondant either - - it was the normal icing that is very thin when you dip them, then it dries firm. I could never get them to look as "clean" as the bakery ones.

Sorry, I'm the dumb one, I meant to respond to PO saying that her pie was sloppy... maybe we both need a coffee break! LOL!!

Thanks, my meringue wasn't uniformly whispy. Is that what I'm trying to say? LOL!
