a little logo love

i need proper business cards. in my head i want to have a pie with a heart and some pretty script to accentuate clever wording that makes everyone who sees it want to buy a pie and some cookies every other week! in reality, i am not quite there yet. at this point, i have attempted twice to get pictures taken for said business card. neither attempt has been what i expected.


attempt #1
on sunday i baked a berry pie because i thought that the reddish purple of the berries would make the heart stand out better. yes, in theory. there was a minor bubbling disaster in the oven and the crust of the pie looked a bit like a massacre. NOT what i want on my business cards. (i prolly should have taken a picture just for kicks.) however, according to the panel at the BBQ it tasted just fine... if you closed your eyes.
attempt #2
today i made mini pies. apple with a whole wheat crust. i tried them out to see if mini pies are something i want to make regularly. they're not. however cute they are, they come with a lot more work and stress than a regular sized pie. i used these pies as another chance to add hearts *hopefully* make a logo. i got a couple of good shots. unfortunately the light changed on me right before i was going to take the pictures. sunshiny day to black clouds/thunder/hail... so this is the best i could do.

  1. what about cooking up those berries and filling in the heart post baking? it may be worth a shot for a more eye-catching/order stimulating business card. : ) so excited for you!

  3. j - the pies look yummy, but I find the patterned plates a bit distracting... perhaps solid colored, or on a doily or something? have you considered having your card an illustration/graphics instead of photography? just brainstorming here.... can't wait til you come, I have loads of recipes you can try... love auntie g
