We cannot deny that besides the flavor, the presentation of a pie counts a lot of points, right? A delicious filling and incredible dough are even more irresistible with a special decoration 😉

With the holiday season approaching, you can use some of these techniques to make that classic pie even more beautiful on the table!
TRADITIONAL BRAID
The braids don’t work just to pick up the pie, see? They can be great finishes for the edge of an open pie! Simple to make and the result is supercharming.

ZIGZAG
After fixing the dough in the pie, you can simply cut the edge diagonally and place each layer to one side. The zig-zag effect is unusual and the method of preparation is very easy.

You can also make straighter cuts, forming small rectangles 😉

ROUNDED
It doesn’t have a shape full of details, but you want a delicate and romantic presentation? A pearl necklace (or even balls) can become a great tool!

The spoon can also be used to give that rounded touch on the sides. Making small markings makes the dessert more sophisticated.

Interlocking balls can give a great finish! To have this effect, prefer to use the very round measuring spoons.

WITH FORK
We already talked about spoon, but the fork is also a great ally at this time. In addition to making the lines straight, you can cross the markings to have a more beautiful and surprising result.

WITH CUTTERS
Remember the post with Christmas cutters? They will give that incredible finishing touch to your pies! Just make more dough, cut it into the desired shape and overlay the figures on the sides!

You can either use the same mold to create a pattern, or mix different sizes and models for a more elaborate and eye-catching effect.
