Description:

The creators of this tutorial explain that they wanted to figure out how to design a large pie that still strikes a balance between the filling (area) and the crust (perimeter). View the steps they took to construct a very enormous pecan pie in the shape of a Koch snowflake fractal, including: layout design, cut sheet metal to shape, attach rim, build oven, make crust, mix filling, cook, and enjoy.
