Whipped Cream

I’d like to baste the Tarts at the next CQFA meeting on Saturday. In order to accomplish that goal, I need to get the whipped cream on the pie. I made the pattern and have been auditioning it in slightly varied locations all over the pie.

The above photo shows the crust stitching (see below), but I still don’t like the placement.

The above shows the whipped cream on the pie from a little further back, so it can be seen in context. It does look better from this distance.

The above location does not work. I am rather proud of that crust and the location of the whipped cream covers up my lovely stitching.

I am thinking that the ultimate problem is that I made the pattern too big and it should be a smaller mound of whipped cream, like on the cupcake. I am also thinking about adding a cherry instead of whipped cream.

  1. You don’t like the placement in the first photo, because it’s on a “pressure point” where it is touching the other block. You may be able to move it even further to the right into that other block, without having it get too close to the cup, and it might work. For some reason, I want to see the dollop flipped horizontally so the curlicue on the top is facing the toward the back of the pie, as opposed to facing the blue coffee cup like it is in all these pics…but that may just be me. But I would keep the whipped cream, and work out your design problem with it, rather than just going with a cherry. You could definitely get away with a smaller dollop if you decided to do that, too. Whatever you decide, I’m sure it will be great!
