Happy Birthday Pie #1

If my family was asked to vote on a favorite dessert, apple pie would win hands down! I'd been kicking around the idea for a Happy Birthday Pie and thought this one turned out cute.
Simply roll pie dough between your fingers and the counter into a thin "rope",
shape it into letters and arrange them on the upper crust. 
Who says Birthdays are all about the cake?

    I love apple pie but rarely have it since Hubby does not care for it and I would have to eat the whole thing myself... which isn't really a problem of course... LOL

    Your blog needs a disclaimer warning people to wear a bib to control all the drooling your recipes and pics cause. Pie. MMMmmmmm.

    I am torn. The birthday pie looks delicious but I see your strawberry frosting on cake right beside this comment and can't choose. May I have both please?

    I'm thinking this feels very patriotic with the star too Lynn. Remember your letter cutters you bought, I like your rolled letters here even better. I'm pinning it to my cooking tips board. Thanks!

    Well, I would always rather have pie than cake, so this is a fine idea. :) In the Midwest we used to say "happier than a dead pig in the sunshine" - but I never understood that one. Yours makes sense. :)

    I used to decorate my pies with leaves and such ( with the leftover dough ) and then...where I worked, we always had pies versus cakes for our birthday office celebrations, so you and I are on the same page! :)

    That looks so good! Love how you made the letters too! I have those little abc cutters and they are a nuisance to use!
