Flavor of the day

I like to call this my "Get out of jail free card."

You might be thinking to yourself:
"Now WHY are there razor blades sticking out of that cherry pie?"

All I can say in my defense is that the idea above was an assignment from a sometimes wacky instructor I had where I studied commercial photography (The Creative Circus). In other words: they made me do it. Assignment? Fear factor. Originally I presented other concepts for possible photograph(s) that involved pastel-colored balloons, sugar, spice and everything nice with a little kick to them, but needless to say, they did not make the cut.

Cherry pies are a little trickier to cut a crisp and clean edge than one might believe, initially at least. Thank goodness for Allison's help and expertise! Eight pies and two reshoots later, came the final shot (above).
