Baker creates mesmerizing, colorful pies

When she decided to make her first pie two years ago, instead of sticking with current trends Lauren Ko decided to create pies with geometric patterns, straight lines and contrasting colors.

The precise cuts and color combinations of fruit on her tarts, as well as the intricate patterns woven into her pie crusts, often lead people to believe that Ko has professional training in art, design and cooking or even a background in math.

She says she has always loved art but has no professional training. She finds inspiration everywhere, from bathroom tile and textiles to lawn chairs and bamboo purses, and saves images to give her ideas for future pies.
