Giant Fractal Pecan Pie

By Miss Cellania in Food & Drink on Nov 25, 2011 at 7:25 am

You can understand why someone would want to make a giant pie, but why make a fractal pie? Because the bigger a pie gets, the more the crust becomes overwhelmed by the filling. It’s simple math. Instructables member turkey tek solved that problem by using the fractal shape of the Koch snowflake. At this size, the pie had to be baked in a custom-made outdoor oven. The cake pie is 50 inches in diameter at its widest point, but could have been bigger if the materials for the cooking process were more readily available. Yes, I will have a slice, thank you very much. Link -via Everlasting Blort

    “The cake is 50 inches in diameter…”
    Cake is a lie, it’s a pie. :-)

    I don’t know why I did that -I’ve been baking and eating pies, not cakes.

    Sounds like a great idea if you really like crust, or really don’t like the filling, since the full Koch snowflake has infinite perimeter and finite area.

    It should be a pumpkin fractal pi! ;)
