Pies will never have the same meaning again, after you’ve seen how Lauren Ko creates them. Baking this traditional dessert is Lauren’s specialty and thanks to her imagination and mathematical precision, every one of her pies is a work of art.
Lauren
never had a single day of professional training, but she always loved art. Two
years ago, she quit her nine-to-five job and embarked on this great adventure.
“My
journey has been kind of an accident”, Ko says. Coincidence or not, she’s one
of the best in the business today. After only few years of practice, Lauren
opened her own confectionery in Seattle, called Loko Kitchen. Moreover, her
Instagram account has more than 270k followers who admire her work daily.
Ko
says people are constantly amazed by her complex designs: “I think with my
designs there’s like a shroud of mystery. People think: ‘I can’t wrap my head
around this, I have no idea where you’ve started or how you would even
construct that.’” In the end, she says, most of them are surprised at how easy
it is.
