Jessica Clark-Bojin remembers at one time having a reputation for her lack of cooking skills.

91裸聊视频淚 couldn91裸聊视频檛 crack an egg. I was shooed out at family gatherings,91裸聊视频� says the Vancouver native, laughing. 91裸聊视频滻 had no experience in a kitchen whatsoever.91裸聊视频�

Now Clark-Bojin is shaking up the baking world with her elaborate pie creations, which range from detailed celebrity portraits to towering three-dimensional 91裸聊视频減ie-scrapers.91裸聊视频�

The former filmmaker91裸聊视频檚 journey from kitchen klutz to pastry pro started with a New Year91裸聊视频檚 resolution to cut down on sugar in 2016, when she began experimenting with pies to sate her dessert cravings. What began as a creative foray has become a full-time gig.

91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 the most fun job that I91裸聊视频檝e ever had in my life,91裸聊视频� she said. 91裸聊视频淚 never thought I91裸聊视频檇 be doing anything like this.91裸聊视频�

Clark-Bojin91裸聊视频檚 multi-tiered masterpieces include Calvin and Hobbes riding a wagon down a hillside and an Aladdin-themed castle. The self-described science fiction nerd has also concocted a glow-in-the-dark Tron apple pie and Star Wars themed fruit turnovers shaped like Jabba the Hut.

Along the way, Clark-Bojin has tapped into her science background as a former university physics student to develop new methods and materials. Her innovations include colouring pastry dough, creating pigments that glow in the dark and baking three-dimensional shapes.

The American talk show The Chew invited Clark-Bojin to New York to present a pie on the show in late 2016, which was followed by an invitation from the Food Network to start making videos for the cooking channel, she said.

Pies are especially challenging because pastry dough quickly becomes tough when overworked and its inconsistency means it often changes shape unpredictably in the oven, Clark-Bojin said.

She said one 91裸聊视频渁ha moment91裸聊视频� came while designing an alien face from the sci-fi franchise 91裸聊视频淧redator,91裸聊视频� when Clark-Bojin came up with a method of blending different layers of pastry together, 91裸聊视频渓ike modeling clay,91裸聊视频� using an egg mixture.

91裸聊视频淭hat opened a whole new world,91裸聊视频� she said.

Clark-Bojin said most of her baking gets done late at night after her five-year-old son, Cillian, is in bed. She described him as her harshest critic.

91裸聊视频淗e91裸聊视频檒l look at something that I91裸聊视频檝e been slaving over for days and I91裸聊视频檓 really proud of and he91裸聊视频檒l be like, 91裸聊视频淗mm. It91裸聊视频檚 not your best work, mommy,91裸聊视频� 91裸聊视频� she said.

Clark-Bojin doesn91裸聊视频檛 sell her pies directly. She supports her work by offering how-to guides and dough stencils for sale.

Her next task is to simplify her techniques.

91裸聊视频淢y mission with all of this is not just to be a snooty pie artist,91裸聊视频� she said, adding that the overall goal is to create a new industry.

91裸聊视频淚 want to teach other people and inspire other people to create cool things in this medium that they love with this food that they love.91裸聊视频�
