Store bought desserts are made so each one looks the same no matter how many companies like Sara Lee or Entenmans make in a year, so customers know what they're buying before they put it out at a potluck.
But if you want to bring a dessert that's a whole lot less boring you should check out Jessica Leigh Clark-Bojin's website Pies Are Awesome and start modding your store bought pies.
Or better yet grab Jessica's first book Pie-Modding when it comes out on June 5th and follow the step by step tutorials and “modify pre-made desserts to create epic, edible works of art.”
