Whoever thinks baking a delicious pie that also looks great is an easy job has probably never stepped in the kitchen in their life. Perfecting the art of pie baking takes time but making them look this good is straight up art.

Lauren Ko has found her life calling and she’s giving it everything she has. Over 250,000 people have recognized her and follow her Instagram page where she shares photos of her amazing pies. Ko hasn’t been professionally trained to do this; she’s completely self-taught.

If you’re in Washington, make sure to visit her confectionery named Lolo Kitchen. Hope the line in front of it won’t be too big!

When they go dough, we go pie. 🥧| Last night, I posted to my story about an incident with a stranger who hurled racist insults at me as they drove by. I can’t say I’m that surprised, particularly in this climate, and I know there are people/communities that experience this (and worse) every day of their lives. We could stand to share some light, so tell me what act of kindness you’re putting out in the world today. (There’s a link in my ACRS story highlight if you need an idea. 👆🏽) Let’s be good to each other. 💛 . . . . . . . . . . #lokokitchen #strawberry #cherry #rhubarb #edibleflowers #hexagon #ombre #pie #pieart #f52grams #buzzfeast #huffposttaste #saveur #foodandwine #tastingtable #bakeandshare #onmytable #beautifulcuisines #postracialamerica #kindness #light #love #smallactsofkindness #lovewins #acrs @acrsnews @huffpostasianvoices #seattle #yeahbutwhatdoesitlooklikebaked

Top to autumn. 🍁| This year has been a colossal pumpkin grind. So many events have struck a gourd and it feels like we’re skating on thin spice. Oh to simply squash our hands of the matter. But we must do harvest to keep pushing through. Let’s band together as thick as leaves and put the fall tales to rest. See you at the polls. ✔️| Hand-sliced cardamom pear tart; revisiting an old favorite with fresh produce. 🍐 . . . . . . . . . . #lokokitchen #pear #cardamom #tart #tartart #waves #fall #autumn #harvest #ohmygourd #thickasthieves #talltales #toptobottom #getoutandvote #f52grams #buzzfeast #huffposttaste @huffpostasianvoices #foodandwine #bareaders #marthabakes #imsomartha #bhgfood #mywilliamssonoma #fromwherewedesign #designforall @design #whpcolorplay #seattle

Happy as a cran. 🐚 I I spent the weekend blissfully soaking up all the sunshine in my hometown. Returning to chillier temps is bringing on major emoceans and much sand-wringing. Monday mourning is not just a figure of beach. 🏝I Channeled the lovely @julie_jonesuk for my contribution to the #yesyoucranberry party buzzing around the internet today. Cranberry curd tart with golden kiwis scales. 🥝 . . . . . . . . . . #lokokitchen #cranberry #curd #goldenkiwi #tart #tartart #scales #sandiego #sunshine #tacos #beach #ocean #sand #sun #surf #happyasaclam #figureofspeech #f52grams #onmytable #huffposttaste #thekitchn #foodandwine #buzzfeast #amazonkitchen #marthabakes #imsomartha #california
