I've got to be the dissenter here. First, I think your cracked pie looks beautiful and the underlayer wonderfully gooey, and I'd attack it with a fork. But, nothing wrong with wanting your baked goods to look as beautiful as possible! King Arthur's catalog has many perfect-looking pictures, no? I beam if my breads or pie lattices come out beautiful. I've also enjoyed learning how to use my dslr camera and Photoshop -- blogging with them has been a fun way to learn new skills. All of that is secondary to the taste, of course, and a beautiful product is just the cherry on top.
