Happy #PiDay! #ahandforpastry #rhubarb
A delectable triangular piece of home made rhubarb pie. Sits on an elegant gold edged dessert plate, decorated with rhubarb-pink roses. The hand made pastry looks, and is, golden and flaky. The filling of rhubarb is a rosy hue of pink/red that matches the roses on the China dessert plate. Yum!!
