To mark the opening of WAITRESS, BakeSpace is having a "Name Your Own Life-Inspired Pie" Contest. Entering is quick and easy, and you can win some pretty tasty merchandise inspired by the film.
To submit your own life-inspired pie:
1) Ask me to join your network of friends (click the kitchen helper link on the right) and send me an invite.
2) Once I accept, leave me a brownie point with the name of your own life-inspired pie and a brief list of ingredients. (FYI- The brownie point button is at the bottom of my profile and you can only see if if we're friends).
NOTE TO BAKESPACE VISITORS: We're glad you're checking out the BakeSpace Community, but please note that only BakeSpace members can create a profile, add friends to their network and leave brownie points.
Members who submit the five most interesting pie names (as judged by a small but dedicated panel of BakeSpace staff members) will win a nifty prize packages. We'll announce the winners in the next BakeSpace newsletter. ***This contest is over. Thanks for playing!***
Movie Trivia:The "Waitress" crew included three so-called "pie wranglers" whose primary job was to roll out crusts, slice fruit and whip heavy cream. Over the 20-day shoot, says chief pie wrangler Erin Eagleton, the crew learned to improvise, using frozen dough and a blow-torch to give each pie a golden top.
I can't wait to see the movie. I love Becky as Larry David's wife! The movie must be good too.
My life inspired pie recipe, my hubby is Australian and he means the world to me and this is my pie for him...
Aussie Pie
It has no crust as he is crusty enough
No lemons or limes he is sour too
Vegimite meringue should be enough fluff
on top of Kangaroo stew
Loved the movie, and loved Becky and all the waitresses. I think Becky looks like "Martha" in "The Grinch" movie!!
My dream pie is:
"I shouldn't be eating this pie" Pie!... filled with coconut, melted white chocolate, chocolate pudding, crushed almonds, and topped with whipped cream blended with sweetened condensed milk! Love, Cupcakes

He chose someone else pie:
Take 6 bananas and wack off the ends with a sharp knife (you know, the part that was attached to the tree?). Rip of the peels. Mash a few times or until you start to cry. Take 8 oz of smooth fragrent cream and waste it on a cold hard bowl, then whip it to a frenzy. Do it by hand to allow for extra crying time. Add 1/4 cup powdered sugar. When your arm is tired, before the stuff has fallen into ugly pieces, mix and pour into the crust. Grind some cinnamon stick and dust with a hint of hope - cinnamon sugar.
The "Finish It Off" pie - that's for those days you are cleaning out the frig or your cupboards or the liquor cabinet - and need to "finish off" that little bit left so you can clean up! You know, finish off that half-bottle of Merlot; the bit of Kahlua from the party; the Scotch and then, the Vodka (that new flavor, cinnamon). Now that that's done - those berries, the french fries still in the McD's bag from last night and oh... a slice of that red velvet cake...sour cream icing and all! AAaaaaahhhhh! Cleaning CAN be a wondrous thang! LOL...
