Pies
2
Fans of wet and messy pie action usually became fans early in their TV-watching career. The use of pies in the face as a slapstick tool has been around as long as cinema, first gaining popularity in the silent film era. Although pies are almost always used in the face, they can be rubbed or thrown at any part of the messee's body and a sufficient number in the face will usually run down into their lap anyway.

Pie in the face events are quite common in the non-WAM world and are used as fundraisers, initiation ceremonies, forfeits, and to celebrate Pi Day (3/14). They are less often found in gameshows compared to gunging, but examples do exist.

Pies may consist of several elements--the most important is the cream or foam on top, but also custard and chocolate may be mixed into the pie. A pie may be coloured with various things, either mixed with coloured gunge, food colouring (although beware that may stain), or buying ready-coloured foam. Pies can be made with or without a crust, either by putting the messy mixture straight on to a plate, or by using a graham cracker crust. The effect of the crust splitting when hitting the targets face is often highly prized.

Pies can be delivered in many different ways, adding variety to a session/video. Throwing can be done from a short distance away and usually results in a big splattering of the pie on impact, a great visual effect. The throwers should take care to aim well and not hit the messee too hard if the pie is weighty.

Pushing into the messee's face is the most common delivery method, it guarantees a hit and makes sure the mess goes where it should. Giving the pie a twist as it goes in helps the coverage.

The most popular pieing technique after the straight pie in the face is the Pie Sandwich. This is where the messee, often seated, receives simultaneous pies to each side of the face. This is particularly suited to recorded and photographed scenes because the pieing is done from behind, so their face is not obscured by the incoming pies. Again, there is the option to rub the pies in, and creates a fin of cream at the front.

The smoosh is a technique of pushing the pie up the messee's face and over their head so that it covers their hair. If there is enough mess, the pie can continue down the back to cover long hair. Sitting in a pie is another idea that can increase the humiliation for the messee.

4-pie Sandwich: The 4-pie sandwich is a variation on the pie sandwich in which the messee receives a pie straight to the face, then two on either side (same as a pie sandwich) with a 4th added as a "Pie Hat" on top of their head.

There is a large pieing form that is little known but much beloved. It is when you give a pie to the face, a pie sandwich, a pie to the back of the head, and a pie to the top of the head. This is called a Wamwich (name coined by Pennybanks and J. Bond)

Of course, both parties should take care that the pie does not get in eyes, and that the messee is able to breathe.

TIP: It's a good idea for the messee taking a pie in the face to take a deep breathe right before the pie comes to a) avoid too much pie in the mouth and b) avoid having to gasp for air after impact. Pies and Cakes do have a tendency to go up the nose so breathing from the mouth is recommended once the pieing has been completed. [ref: Personal Experience, Screechgod]

Flapper Pie
Flapper pie is a three-layer pie composed of graham wafer crust, pudding middle, and whipped cream top.

For WAM purposes, flapper pie's three-layer construction makes it particularly useful. The crust is rough and hard which makes it useful when you want to chafe an area of the skin or when you want to apply direct pressure to certain areas (though for delicate regions, only through clothes). For chafing, it can be ground up in your fingers and mixed with other layers.

The pudding can be smeared with abandon. Or eaten. Or both. Its viscosity (the tendency to flow or to stick together) can be altered during cooking as described in the recipe below.

Whipped cream requires a smile but no verbal comment.

The recipe I use has been passed down generations. If you'd like it, please feel free to email me.

I cooked the pie in the photo and photographed it.

Perfect Pie Recipe
1
You'll need:

Pie Shells- readily available at any market the frozen section Canned pudding-Can be purchased at most restaurant supply stores such as Cash and Carry.

Heavy 40% butterfat whipped cream-Can be purchased at restaurant supply stores or in some locations Costco either in individual quart sizes or a box of six. Note: a box of six will yield 3 gallons of whipped cream or enough for 18 to 20 pies. Bake the shells according to the directions and let cool before filling. While the shells are cooking beat the cream in a stand mixer with the whisk attachment. This can take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour depending on how much cream was purchased. Gradually increase the speed on the mixer little by little and make sure to watch it so that it doesn't get over beaten, or it will turn into butter. Place whipped cream into a large bowl or stock pots for storage when done. Take 1/2 to 1 cup of the pudding depending on how deep you want the pie and fill the shells to about 1/2" below the rim of the pie shell. Too much pudding and the pie will overflow and won't be good for throwing. With a spatula place dollops of whipped cream on top of the pudding and spread evenly to make a layer then add more cream to the top until you have the desired amount. Continue until you're out of cream and pudding. Find a willing participant and get throwing.

Pumpkin Pie
Sweat, savory and spicy, all-in-one. Depending on how you bake it, can range from firm to runny. It always goes well with white clothing :).

I confess that the one in the photo was store-bought from a local baker. But baking a pumpkin pie can be fairly simple: email me if you want recipe ideas.

If you want to surprise your victims, get them used to sweet custard pies topped with whipped cream. Then, when they least suspect that something is afoot, put a pumpkin pie under the whipped cream without telling them
