I know i need help ......but i love making artistic and amazing looking pies!

Its true........whats the point when the end goal is to destroy them, but i take great pride in my work or creations

Does anybody else take a lot pride in what they do?

Here's my latest creations.........

I always take pride in my pies! It's important to love what you do, after all.

I also always try to change things up as well, both for visual and sensual variety. Recently I've been playing around with pies mostly or entirely made out of frosting, for instance. I think that the next time we shoot, I'm going to propose to Bambi that we use colored pies. Gonna go for an old-school PFG vibe.

I do. I'm always trying new methods and ingredients to achieve the best and messiest pies possible. The better they look, the more exciting it is. I love the expression on a target's face as they view the pastries they'll soon be wearing.

Oh please keep the white pies. You're scenes are epic!

Agreed, unless you're going for that "Brazilian pie" vibe, which is like its own subgenre. (I like to do a blue-and-white swirl or sometimes orange-and-white, similar to Domingo Legal.)
Otherwise I feel like pies should only have color naturally... AKA via the filling, like banana or chocolate. To be fair, I DO love the old PFG scenes with colored pies though. And I used to do a lot of pink and yellow thrown pies back in the day myself. (The advantage: Those are a lot more forgiving of sunlight when you're shooting outside. Pure white pies tend to "wash out" under direct light unless you pull the exposure WAY down....)

I like making pied taller the better to where almost going to one side then will spatter more and cover more

Thanks for the input and praise Kake and Rich!! Yeah, I really do love those PFG videos, but I agree - the pies I've made and the videos I've shot thus far have convinced me it's best to make white pies and let the filling add the color. We did play around with some colored pies on a video earlier this year and that was a fun thing to try, but I think we preferred the white pies overall. I'll probably stick with 'em.

As for lighting, I've certainly noticed that it's not too forgiving when it comes to my white pies. It's something I definitely need to work on for the next time we shoot...maybe it's time to make some investments in our equipment. @_@

When are you planning on shooting and sharing again?

This is my exact idea and the visual look I love! The huge splatter effect just looks amazing to me.

To a point I consider it an art and it takes a lot to entice me into buying a vid these days as been into this for years and seen it all but you still will never beat Bill's splosh style stuff. I will reply to Rev soon as that thread so drags me in!

I pretty much got the consistency right for the angel delight outer ring to get the height and depth into my pies and make them firm enough to hold an entire carton of custard without slipping over the edges. I usually go for the strawberry angel delight as the pink and yellow splattering all over something black visually works so well, especially custard running down stocking or tights.

Here's what those pies achieved and I'll let you decide how good you think they look

I also take a great pied in my pries (see what I did there!) I think everyone is quite particular about pies, really. They are ephemeral and expendable in use - but if they are captured - potentially forever - in photos or a movie, then why not make them exactly the way you want them? I used to just love the sight and sound of that thick cream thudding and splatting about in the old PFG videos. I think, latterly most people selling videos put a LOT of effort and time into this.

In the UK there are no off-the-shelf, ready-made pies (of the kind that look good for slapstick!) - there's just no tradition of it. We have to make them from scratch. These days I follow the American 'Boston' style with real whipped cream. But I've used all types of food in the past - (angel delight, custard,rice pudding etc.).

It's unfortunately very labour intensive but worth it if you make enough. Keep going at it, Sploshed!

Holy jesus y fronts

a whole carton of custard in one pie

Bills were so splatty cos they were shaving foam ones made long in advance so they become...looser - oh and models instructed not to hold back of course

This seems as good a place as any to give a quick shout out to Trouso, who has given me some very helpful advice on making the best UK pies possible.

Before anyone says anything, I am aware, of course, that as with everything the whole notion of 'best pie' is subjective, but I found his advice very very helpful and it was much appreciated

I think producers in the UK like Mostwam have really raised the bar. That's the kind of quality I feel we have to aim for now...

The pics look good I wish I was there to get a messy with pies
