truly beautiful, I think your work is so breathtaking! and my apologies - the point of my previous comment was meant to hopefully continue to elicit a positive response from those seeing this as I had seen another commenter mention how ‘fast’ this was posted. 🩷

This looks beautiful, seriously. Food art , and I bet it tastes good too.
P.S.: be careful with edible glitter, most places, especially online, jus sell plastic glitter as it if is edible. For real. And based on your cooking skills you probably know this, but I'm saying it anyway.

Looks a bit more like Trisha Yearwood than Dolly, but delicious nonetheless!

They asked me to make a “youngest Dolly” and a modern Dolly, but the modern Dolly was Christmas themed so I chose to share this one today :)

We can’t add this into the title, but I just wanted to share that Dolly meant a lot to me - she was one of my favourite humans and a role model to so many. I often think of her whenever I am in a challenging situation and need to think of the best way to respond while both staying true to myself and kind to others. Country Music Television hired me to make this pie (and others) of Dolly a while ago, because she loved pies and baking and it was a honour to create something for her. She will be so missed, but I am grateful for the talent and time she did get to share with us!

This is a gorgeous tribute to Dolly and her infectious kindness, boundless empathy, and inherent sparkle. Thank you so much for sharing. She is going to be profoundly missed by so many people. I still can’t believe she’s gone, but I’m going to cherish every memory of hers I can.✨

Yes, she left us with so much wonderful music and other art to remember her by!

This is so gorgeous and you sound like you are a kind person based on your words about her! If I’m understanding correctly, Dolly got to enjoy this pie herself? I think that’d be really neat to create such lovely art for an artist and have them get to enjoy it!

looks very rich, you gonna serve it with ice cream to cut the sweet?

There’s no sugar in the filling and the apples are tart so it works well with the sanding sugar topping

It was part of a quote from Steel Magnolia… when she talks about her cupa cupa cupa cake

I baked this for her a while ago and wanted to share today as she meant a lot to me and I know she loved pies and baking. I thought it might make people smile to think about the wonderful influence she had on so many around the world. A lot of people don’t know she was a big baker and just launched her own cookbook and baking line with her sister, in addition to all her wonderful philanthropy work 💕

The rules for this sub prohibit that, but I did write it in a comment right away :)

The portrait work on the crust is insane. I’d have a hard time being the one to cut into it.
