This German Baker Turned Pie Baking Into An Art Form (35 Pics)
Karin Pfeiff-Boschek is a German baker and photographer who specializes in baking meticulously designed pies that look almost too beautiful to eat. In a recent interview with Bored Panda, the food artist said she used to enjoy seeing, smelling and eating bread pastries that her grandmother made when she was young. The fact that baking was a tradition in her family encouraged the woman to start baking cakes and pastries for her brother and sister when she was a teenager.
“In my twenties, I spent many summers in Paris and was fascinated by the beautiful baked goods in every pâtisserie on nearly every street corner,” recalled Karin. “I did not become a baker, however, but became interested in fabrics, eventually designing, dyeing, and creating my own works of textile art. Nonetheless, I enjoyed baking, often experimenting with various doughs and batters.”

Karin said that her American-born husband learned to bake pies from his mother who was a prize-winning pie baker. She thought the pies were delicious and the woman began to wonder how she could decorate them in a similar way cakes are. “This was just at the time that I opened an account on Instagram and I began uploading pictures of my attempts at pie decoration,” said the artist. “To my surprise and delight, the comments were positive, resulting in a rapid rise in the number of followers of my account.”
