What a helpful article!!! Lots and lots of good tips. I wish I had found it yesterday before I baked my pie. Aaaaah, so you don't put the stars and stripes on the pie when you go to bake it. I wondered if they'd burn so fortunately I checked after about 15 minutes and realized they would. I took them off with my fingers, was able to save them all and applied when the pie came out of the oven. Mine was still pretty, just looked like the flag was waving a little. While my nerves got a little rattled for a moment or two during the process this was a LOT of fun to make. It still turned out beautifully and was soooo delicious. I'll use your helpful tips the next go round. Fantastic blog and excellent help/support!
