Cherry Pie with leaves crust

Henry and I had a blast making this real sour cherry pie.  I just realized that I only have two frozen packs of cherries left to make pies out of:(  Good thing cherry season is right around the corner!  This cherry pie is my usual recipe from Bon Appetit with a full Meyer lemon zest in it along with Meyer lemon juice.  The flavor was incredible and this pie turned out better than usual with no super runny middle.  My crust did get a little drowned in overflow from the sides but the good thing about a pie is that it never has to look good to taste good! I used some stamps that Justin got for me at William's Sonoma to make all the leaves.  I just love the effect.  I think I'll make one for this weekend for my friend Christi when she comes up to visit.

I just read the article in the BYU magazine talking about your music and music with your children. It was inspiring. I have three little ones, and my 4 year old and 2 1/2 year old LOVE music, and hunger for instruments, leading music, or whatever I will give them musically. I play a guitar (not well), and would love to teach my children. I'm just hoping you would be willing to give me some tips like where to find great folk music for kids, what kind of guitar I might get for a four year old etc. My email address is khigg3@hotmail.com. Thank you in advance! Beautiful pie, by the way.

Yummm and even if the cherry pie didn't taste good, it is worth just looking at. I know it tastes good too but who would ever want to cut into those beautiful leaves. What talent....you even make food a piece of art.
