also i did indeed put a 1/4 cup of cornstarch in my filling idk what happened :(

[@RedStripesandChocolate]

I don`t know if this is an invitation to talk about pie, but I am going to pretend it is. Firstly when baking with berries it is easier to get a firm filling if you work with frozen berries that you thaw and then press them gently to remove liquid. That leads to less moisture in the berries and therefore a firmer pie. Another thing you could do is add some form of nuts that would soak up some of the liquid, but that I haven`t experimented with enough to solidly say is good advice. I also would reccomend checking out a cosy kitchens blogpost about pie.

[@Libbylibausten]

One trick for the pie crust that has saved mine, add vodka into the pie dough. The alcohol will all cook off but I found that it adds that extra starch to make the dough a bit more flexible. When I make pies now though, I just use Trader Joe’s pie crusts because I’m lazy and they are awesome 😂

[@heycrisper]

You could try cooking the blueberries down first almost like jam, but with still some integrity to remove some of their liquid? That's something I would try next if it were me. :) Looks lovely though *O*

[@hannahswanson544]

Blueberries have so much liquid it’s hard to bake an all blueberry pie. I usually add some other frozen berries in the mix! Ah the frustrating and delicious trials of pie making 💕

[@minnie4291]

one of my goals for myself in 2020 was to be kinder to people and i feel like watching your videos has made me kinder. dont know how, but you put me in a good mood and less anxious.

[@LisaIsabelle]

That transition @1:31 is everything. ♥

[@kaleylecroy8141]

yes!!! I noticed it too :)

[@misaandcoart]

That opening of the beautiful neighbourhood and the snow falling makes me want to visit Seattle so much (I've never seen snow fall).

[@cheyennebarton]

oh i ADORED totoro!! i've seen quite a few other ghibli films, but for some reason this is one i never got around to! so happy to have finally seen it

[@alexreith4877]

Have you all seen Adam Savage's Totoro costume videos? He has several. He even had a Totoro costume meetup. It's adorable when he gets excited about other people's cosplay. He also has a No Face costume that he built and then re-engineered. Very fun videos.

[@spider_plantt]

i love that video!!!! the delight in his face as he puts totoro's eyes on makes me happy every time i watch it!! thoroughly recommend!!

[@misaandcoart]

@@alexreith4877 I saw that when looking for inspiration for my cosplay. I ended up wearing a grey skater dress with a poofy black lace underlay and a white button up shirt, some DIY ears which I loved making and a leaf I carried. First time actually cosplaying and I was surprised how well it turned out. :)

[@alexreith4877]

Missa nice!

[@KatieTuttleKaatieMyLaady]

I definitely love the establishing shots! It’s so cozy and motivating! Like a real life “Lofi Beats to Study/Chill To”. Also, your hair is looking so beautiful and healthy! You’re such a lovely Human, inside and out!

[@essiejones8520]

You're such an inspiration. I mean... watching Studio Ghibli, drinking tea, you're eco-friendly, every shot is beautiful, your cat, and your rooms... ugh, I love it all. I'm so glad that I found your channel. Subscribed!

[@Steph-zj5cq]

I deal with chronic pain...These videos bring me such joy and are relaxing. For a few moments I forget that I’m hurting at all, so thank you for that. Beautiful videos.

[@HassenSamaali]

I loved the drawing sessions ! The vlog is turning so professional with the music and all the nice shots !

[@Callalilly45]

as always, your vlogs fill me with calmness and determination. I'm ready to go write up some new blog posts and stretch and potentially work on some more job applications (but of course that's the stressful part) but these videos are like visiting a friend, so reassuring

[@arelicampechano2990]

The intro scenes were just... ♥

[@LegendOfMegan]

this vlog has been so chill and you always manage to bring me back into an artsy mood when i'm in a funk. don't worry too much about not cooking the pies enough/not turning out, especially fruit ones! they can always be "fixed" with a scoop of vanilla ice cream

[@atomicpug]

Cheyenne, I just want to say thank you for putting a link to donate to Puerto Rico in your description. Puerto Rico is where I'm from and it really warmed my heart to see you do that. You're the best! P.S. I think that your pie turned out wonderful, homemade blueberry pie is my absolute favorite! Much love!

[@marieke8163]

I always listen to this when I'm studying or trying to get work done. It's kind of like having a friend sitting across my desk talking while I work. So so lovely

[@marieplesse]

[@KatieLoehr]

I feel that Bon Appetit obsession so much! I keep trying to pick a fav person from the test kitchen but I truly can't. Every time I try a BA recipe, it tastes amazing (even when I mess it up). I made Claire's Angel Food Cake recipe and it was magical. It didn't brown on the outside (no idea how I screwed that up), but it was light, fluffy, and delightful. Your blueberry ginger pie looked so good! The top looked so crispy and wonderfully browned! Anyway, I love your vlogs and hope to see more baking

[@TsunamiKitten56]

00:10 Screw KY winter, I want REAL SNOW LIKE THIS

[@user-xb5bz4fu9o]

It's all fun and games until 2 ft of snow fall and effectively trap you in your house lol still love it tho

[@kristina5214]

I love watching your videos! I get so happy over your small victories like you have seriously changed so much from the time I started watching these videos and I’m just so proud and so exuberant for you!! Also .... pie goals!!!

[@neia_5095]

You should try and pre cook the bottom crust first with weights (so it doesn’t rise) on it for a few minutes 😊 that’s what we do when we bake pies in France ! I love your vlogs so much !! ❤️❤️✨

[@olgaeleven4970]

I'm so happy to know that you exist somewhere

[@YuliaAstrea]

The openings of the snow and your cat, makes me feel so warm and fuzzy inside. Its so cozy!

[@moana8620]

your videos are always so soothing to watch, i love them so much and always immediately feel better and calmer! Also for baking the bottom of the pie through, i would suggest blind baking it before adding the filling (idk how much you know about it, but it's basically when you put some parchment paper onto the pie crust and then weigh it down with beans or whatever you have handy and pre-bake it for a bit. you can find instructions about this online as well) blind baking ensures that your bottom browns a little already and doesn't soak up all the moisture, so you will then have an even crust :)

[@thenazly.]

Listening to your voice and watching your videos when i'm journaling makes me relaxed at the most✨

[@nishka_w]

Your lil slice o'life vlogs make me so happy and calms my anxiety so much. Thank you for being so enthusiastic about everything you do! Makes me want to make pie too! Also, maybe blind bake your crust so it's cooked half way and then bake with your filling? You can use raw rice or uncooked beans if you don't have pie weights.

[@ariannam2070]

the ending with the pie and the discussion of David Harbour's bathroom is SO WHOLESOME (as is you two watching My neighbour Totoro, AWWWW)

[@kceles1]

Totoro was the first (ok - maybe second; forgot about Spirited Away) Ghibli film I ever saw. After a very, very heartbreaking moment, my friend whisked me away to her apartment and sat me down in front of a TV and started playing it. I've been hooked ever since. A chill, kitty, drawing and baking video was just what I needed after today. (Also, I *totally* understand the turtleneck feeling. I haven't been able to wear them for YEARS.)

[@beckie10]

I just want to say thank you for sharing your manufacturers/printers. A lot of artists are very tight-lipped about these kinds of sources (and I mean, rightfully so) and I just really appreciate your sharing of this info, so thank you 🙂

[@samschannel1111]

i work as a baker! blueberry pie is often super watery, you can add a little bit of cornstarch to your blueberry mixture to thicken it up. that pie looks fantastic :)

[@cheyennebarton]

Samantha Marie i had 1/4 cup of cornstarch in there! might need to add extra next time x

[@kaylynpingel3350]

The aesthetic of this blog and your apartment at show I strive to be. I know people only put out the best bits of there life for people to see. But you seem like such a kind and cozy person

[@mhschiller714]

The King Arthur Flour baking book was my baking 101 text book in Culinary School! They are a wind source of baking inspiration and tips! Also, you can add a smidge more cornstarch to your pie filling to help it congeal! Either way, it looks beautiful and your videos are always so peaceful and remind me of way I love to bake and do art. You are such an awesome bean and I am forever greatful for your videos

[@rythulian]

this 👏 vlog 👏 is 👏 so 👏a e s t h e t i c a l l y 👏p l e a s i n g 👏 my gosh that intro alone with all the snow and you and sophie all cozied up inside deserves an oscar 💛(also i hope it channels some snow energy here in scotland as well, i miss snow!) and watching you draw is so relaxing! good luck with your shop designs and future pies, i'm sure they are/will be amazing!! ✨

[@colorcrayon54]

Loving the snowy opening; I grew up in Burlington & miss living in WA. Your pie looks great! S young bride in the mid 70's I learned pie making as well...yours looks as good as mine did....perfect!!!! 😍

[@lilyflowers8291]

every time my partner and i go thrifting, they always pick out many funky mugs and we now have quite the lovely collection!!

[@lucyo2919]

What a lovely pie! I've heard setting the pie on a pre-heated pizza stone, or pre-baking the bottom crust before putting the filling in, can help get the bottom crust cooked all the way. Never tried either, but that's the word on the street, I believe.

[@findmeonfb]

The moment when you said "do I feel like I can just draw for a living.. and i do!" made me feel so warm and fuzzy inside because I felt the happiness in your voice and on your face and it made me happy.

[@heaven-leejacobsen2022]

A really good way to get a fully cooked pie base is to blind bake it!! So you pop your pie crust (without filling) and put a layer of baking paper over the crust then fill it with some rice and cook it for a little bit, then its ready to be filled and cooked again and you'll have a nice and crispy pie crust on both sides (sorry my instructions kinda suck, but there are great instructions online!)

[@ahousecatwhohasacellphone]

my mom always tells me to vent the bottom of the pie crust as well! it helps with the gooeyness of the filling somewhat!

[@nematarot7728]

I love all of your videos! ♥️ and I just wanted to share some of my pie making tips~ 🥧🥧🥧 You can bake the bottom crust by itself first, just put tin foil strips around the edges to keep them from burning. 🍏 When you are getting the dough in there, if there are cracks that need sealed up together, or if the dough falls apart, just wet the cracks with a little water and then you will be able to seal the cracks right up 🍒 Before rolling out my dough, I sprinkle a little water on the counter and then lay down a sheet of plastic wrap over it (the water adheres the plastic wrap to the counter) then roll the dough out ontop of it. This way you can pick the dough up using the plastic wrap and it won’t fall apart. 🍎 When I make apple pie I always put a few caramels and extra pats of butter on top before putting the the top crust on 🍐 It’s normal for fruit pies to be really liquid, and if you want it to gel more then use either corn starch of tapioca starch. Use extra 💕

[@DanicaAndVictoria]

Make sure, when you are blind baking the crust, you put parchment paper with "rice, dried peas, lentils, beans[...]" (from Wikipedia) on top of the dough before putting it in the oven. (Google blind baking. Haha.)

[@sandraandersson6277]

the snow is so pretty! we have barely had any snow this winter where I live in Sweden, I miss it :(

[@haikino]

This is so stunning, Cheyenne! Seeing the shots with the snow made me feel so cozy and warm and reminded me that its still January and should be winter (southern california always forgets that it should still be winter heh)

This video came at the best time, I wasn't having the best day and watching your videos put me in the happiest moods so thank you for that, also very excited for your shop update!!

"I draw for a living." I can't wait for the moment I can say that too! I totally share your "Ain't that wild" feeling :D The shot with the snow falling at the start with you + Soph was just such a vibe. We haven't had snow over here yet, and whilst I don't particularly want it I wouldn't be against one night of heavy snow and just staring out the window.

[@laurenmcpherson7323]

You've probably already decided what pie to make for National Pie Day but one pie that my family enjoys making is a lemon icebox pie (I think that's what it's called?) it's 1/2 cup of lemon juice, 1 block of cream cheese, an 8oz can of condensed milk, and a container of cool whip (I'm not sure how this could be made vegan-friendly but it's delightful). Super easy! It all goes into a graham cracker crust and it can be kept in the fridge but we like them better frozen bc they're much easier to cut. thank you for the video!

[@mimijones6842]

The high note used to cut between your Totoro watching to your desk was amazing. I hate editing (I'm a film student) but that almost makes me want to do it more, just to work with music better. I've had a real bad day today and coming home to this is so soothing, thank you for improving my mood. I hope you are doing well :)

[@cheyennebarton]

tbh editing is my least favorite part of video making, so finding fun music and editing around it makes it a bit more enjoyable

[@mimijones6842]

@@cheyennebarton finding music I like always takes forever so I tend to put the clips in order first and then just don't finish putting the video together because I have lost all motivation for it. Luckily we aren't graded until our end of year project so this is okay

[@umeclaire]

currently eating some sesame tea cake (claire's recipe from bon appetit!!) and tea while watching this video and its oh so cozy

[@louiseisprocrastinating8448]

you could always blind bake the bottom without the fillings or lid for a few minutes! pastry like that probably won't burn when you put in the fillings and everything else on top and bake it :)

[@LisaIsabelle]

Yup that's what I do. I put dry black beans (that I keep only for baking) on the bottom crust so it doesn't puff and lose its shape, and it doesn't get as soggy once the full pie is baked! I hope my explanation is clear? Otherwise look it up online, it's an old grandma trick. ♥

[@QuiltingJeri]

You could also add a bit of tapioca to thicken up the fruit pies. ;) another grandma trick♥♥

[@_arboria_2222]

Hey :) you can use pectin to help your fruit set, also blind bake the pie bottom a little to stop it getting soggy

[@choliesnotes]

the shots in the beginning 🥺

[@juliathen1344]

Loved watching you drawing and that blueberry pie looks absolutely delishhh 💛

[@Cat-hx9nf]

Your pie looks absolutely amazing! One reason we put vents in the pie crust is so that it doesn't explode in the oven! The steam builds up pressure inside the pie and than P O P! terrible mess all over the inside of your oven, and no pie. A pie crust tip my mother has passed down to me (for getting the perfect crust) is to put the bottoms crust layer in the oven for ~5-10 minutes and than put your filling in and the top on. Best of luck in your pie journey! :)

[@clairejkay]

Have you looked into baking the bottom half of the dough for a short time before putting in the filling? I don’t bake pies but I’ve seen many people do that, with little round metal weights to keep the dough from rising

[@neivakylla]

From what ive seen people do, youre supposed to bake the bottom of the pie first and add some nuts or something on top of it so it wouldnt rise/get taller and then add the filling and top after

[@sakurasakura4322]

About the pie, I believe the others gives a good solid advice , but also try to change the pan . Go for something like glass to be able to see through and know if its cooked or not, and metal sort of a kind , as they (both type) transfer heat much faster than a ceramic dish and you will be able to cook it faster ! Hope thats help

Not too sweet and not too decadent, just perfect with tea or coffee. I hope you give it a try!
