I’ve been known to be just a little sarcastic.
When I saw this GIF assignment, I instantly had the urge to put my own sarcastic twist on the project.
There are some scenes from movies that just stick out in your mind. The one I chose to make a GIF out of comes from the only version that matters cartoon version of Disney’s Snow White. I must have watched this a hundred times growing up; Snow White was always my favorite Disney Princess. Weird things, like a tree that seemingly has a face, or branches pulling at my clothes in the woods, will trigger scenes from the movie to pop up in my mind. And every single time that I bake a pie, this particular one is conjured up.
If you’re a fellow baker, then I’m sure you can relate to just how unrelatable this scene is. Pie dough, especially in the Summer, can be a real pain to work with. Too cold and it crumbles apart. Too warm and it becomes gooey (and you know when it bakes that all the flakiness will be gone!). Rolling out your pie dough and getting the bottom crust in the pan is one thing, but the top crust? It takes a lot of practice to roll out that half to the right shape and size, and get it positioned on top of the filling without tearing.
I consider myself a pretty good baker, but it’s a rarity that my pies don’t have a “patchwork” moment, where everything starts to fall apart and I have to patch the dough back together. I’m not going to say that I haven’t shed a tear or two in the midst of a pie dough meltdown.
And every time, I have Snow White’s perfect pie making scene haunting my memory, taunting me. Here’s the show-off, really rubbing in our faces how good she is at baking pies:
Process:
The process for this was super easy. I used Quicktime to record a portion of the Youtube clip I found of the scene, trimmed the clip, and uploaded it to Giphy. The process was exactly the same as the one I used in my Beyonce GIF, as seen right here.
