This months Daring Baker challenge was a great task.... Lemon Meringue Pie. What better in the dead of the icy New Jersey winter than the refreshing blast of Citrus! This month I post for you an image of a painting I completed with the Lemon Meringue as star! (lets put 6 years of art school to good use!)
This pie was fairly easy to make. First make a pie dough and blind bake it in the oven for about 20 min. Then take out the pie weights and bake it a tad more. Next I made the lemony custard filling.... I soon discovered that I had paper cuts on my little art teacher fingers (curse those little kindergartners and their sharp art work!).
The filling was quite tart, but it was complemented nicely by the very sweet meringue topping. My Hubby will certainly enjoy this pie for the next few days!

How clever to paint your results. You were inspired! I hope the pie brought hope of warmer days. Wendy
Your painting is beautiful, and I'm glad that you enjoyed the challenge. Fantastic!!
Isn't it funny how winter citrus can make us think of summer?
Yeowch about fingercuts, but love your painting.
Your painting is a far more compelling image than my digital photographs! Congratulations... on the artwork and the 'tartwork'. :)
