I have been making a flag pie with cherries for years, and have won several ribbons at our county fair. I was asked to bake one with strawberries last year, and won a first prize. I have always decorated the pie before baking, but will try baking the stripes and stars, then decorate. I have 21 pies to bake for a wedding next June. Prebaked decorations would probably make the pies prettier. Just will need decorating ideas!
