 It took a lot of patience because it was not cooperating and my friends weren't there to help me and to tell me what I did wrong and did right. Do you usually bake pies? Do you like baking pies or is this something that was new to you? I only did it for one year. This is my second year. I love baking pies except for how long it takes and when you mess up. How long did it take? It took about 30 minutes. Did you mess up?
