Perfect timing! I discovered a can of pumpkin that somehow got lost in the back of the pantry and is past its "best by" date but not THAT old, so I want to use it up this weekend. I was going to make pumpkin muffins, but now I'm thinking pie ...
BTW, what I do when I make decorations from the scraps -- so I don't have to keep peeking in the oven or jisk jostling the pie -- is use the toaster oven. (I've got a sweet little pig cutter that I love to use to decorate the pastry on my pork pies!)
Great idea about the toaster oven. They take up space, but boy do they come in handy. I bet you can keep a much better eye on your decorations that way too. Thanks for sharing! ~ MaryJane
