Fall is in the air and you know what that means…Thanksgiving is right around the corner! This year has been a whirlwind of activity at Robert Kline Art. We’re busy creating new pie recipes, teaching baking classes, and gearing up for the holiday rush.
One of the things I’m most excited about is the rising popularity of virtual baking parties. They’re a fun, interactive way to connect with friends and family, no matter where they live.
Planning Your Virtual Thanksgiving Pie Baking Party
A successful virtual pie baking party takes some planning. You want to choose a recipe everyone will enjoy and make sure everyone has the ingredients and supplies they need.
Choosing the Right Pie Recipe
When it comes to Thanksgiving pies, the possibilities are endless. But for a virtual party, you’ll want to choose a recipe that is relatively easy to follow and doesn’t require any special equipment.
Some popular choices include:
- Apple Pie: A classic for a reason, apple pie is always a crowd-pleaser.
- Pumpkin Pie: No Thanksgiving feast is complete without a pumpkin pie.
- Pecan Pie: This rich and nutty pie is always a hit.
Expert Tip: “Consider a practice run-through of the recipe a week or two before the party, just to get the hang of it, “ recommends Lisa Baker, pastry chef and owner of Sweet Success Bakery.
Gathering Your Ingredients and Supplies
Once you’ve chosen your recipe, send out a list of ingredients and supplies to your guests, Be sure to include everything they’ll need, from flour and sugar to pie plates and rolling pins.
Robert Kline Art Tip: To make things easier for your guests, you can create pre-measured ingredient kits that you can ship directly to them!
Hosting Your Virtual Pie Baking Party
On the day of your party, start by giving your guests a warm welcome. Then, walk them through the recipe step-by-step.
Tips for a Successful Virtual Baking Experience
- Encourage interaction: Keep the energy up by asking questions and encouraging your guests to chat with each other.
- Troubleshooting: Be prepared to answer questions and offer help if someone runs into trouble.
- Share the Fun: Don’t forget to take pictures and videos of your pie-making adventures to share on social media.
Enjoy Your Delicious Creations!
The best part of any baking party is, of course, enjoying the fruits of your labor! Once your pies are baked to perfection, take some time to chat and savor your creations together.
Robert Kline Art Tip: Why not turn your virtual pie party into a competition? Have everyone share pictures of their pies and vote for their favorite!
