Pie Face – My Face.. Well, YOUR face.
So, I’ve noticed multiple pie face stores in Brisbane so many so, that their constant presence convinced me to go in for coffee yesterday morning. When I saw the name pie face along all of the shop fronts, I thought what a wonderful idea… imagine the creativity and detail that it would take to put a face on a pie, I even started dreaming about birthday party pies and what cute little faces you could have looking up at you as you bit into their forehead or jawline, (depending how you eat your pie.) Emo Pie, oh how I’d love to sink my teeth into one of those little ungrateful bastards.
Side Note: I’m a Pie Excavator, I lift the roof off my pie, dip it in sauce and then continue to eat the rest of the pie as an open cavity like most aussies, in between two hands with meat and gravy falling all over the place. AND LOTS OF SAUCE!
You could imagine my disappointment when I entered the store and saw this.

I’VE BEEN DRAWING FACES LIKE THIS SINCE I WAS 3 YEARS OLD!
In fairness to their teenage employees… I shouldn’t be cruel, you guys rock – bringing happy pies to peoples mouths. Oh and Kudos for not making a racist Thai Pie with squinty eyes. It just looks like a really tired Pie. Must have been up early baking.

After stewing on the lack of creativity for 8 hours I decided I would take the Gandhi Approach. Be the change you want to see in the world. Or in my case, Create the Pies you want to see in the world. So click on the link below to see the range of pies, designed by yours truly. Note: These pies are not for human consumption, only for human enjoyment. (You might need to zoom in to read the text on the picture)

Once you’ve had a look at the pies, perhaps your saliva and creative juices are flowing. Comment and tell me, who’s face would YOU like to see on a pie and what would it taste like?
Edit: Chuck Norris Pie, as requested by Kieron.
Chuck Norris Pie - Thanks Kieron
Please make a Chuck Norris pie.
Everyone would be to scared to eat him.
However if you were game enough to try, I would imagine he would be very BEEFY.
Hahaha great suggestion… I’ll see what I can do.
Ok, may I suggest a “Scary Cock” pie… Let me explain. Did u know that the word pie originally meant bird, it was spelt “pye”. Back in the day early egyptian times, pyes were a mixture of types of bird meat (cocks known as roosters today being one of the first varieties of bird cooked in pye) usually cooked in either a pumpkin shell in the early 1700s or a little later in little tin shells which they called coffins. (hence the Halloween theme which lead me to the description of the pye as “Scary”). May I suggest u place a photo of George Bush on this pie (everyone will make the connection) and sell each pie for one camel per pie in the traditional Egyptian currency! Probably not a huge seller but the novolty will attract the crowds!
P.S…. Mmm I don’t think we should describe the taste!
Hahahaha – you crack me up. We should have been twins.. we just have such similar minds. I love you Tam. Will see what I can do about the Cock Pie.
You both crack me up! You are so clever and creative… I love it xxx
Hmmmm nature vs nurture? I think people are creative or they arent, I feel the integral lesson for anybody with creative thought is learning that it’s ok to express the creativity and imagination inside of you. That’s a lesson our folks teach us.
Hey Tam, it’s not for certain that pies originated from egyptians….they mixed things like nuts, honey and fruit into dough and cooked it, but there were never recipes for it and therefore can not be certain that these were pies as such. The pie as we know it today was really invented in the UK and has only been around for about 600 yrs. It was originally called a ‘coffin’ or ‘coffyn’. (however it is believed that the Greeks invented the pie pastry).
So Donna, I suggest a ‘coffin’ shaped pie, with maybe a skeleton on top!
Oohhhh nice one. Looks like the Pickards all use their right brain for something. Great idea Mel. I’ll endeavor to bake all of your suggested pies, however they each require a special Photoshop recipe so it could take me longer than a regular baker. Mine will be much tastier though… Except the George bush one.
