Abstract
A pie making toy includes a generally rectangular base having an angularly disposed roller bed surface and a pair of upwardly extending side walls on either side thereof. A generally cylindrical roller is movable upon the roller bed surface to facilitate the flattening or compressing of a bread slice placed upon the roller bed. The rectangular base further supports an upwardly extending rectangular die having an outer cutting edge and a recess formed in the interior portion thereof. A pivotally supported crimper is pivotally secured to the base proximate the upwardly extending die. A crimping die extends downwardly from the pivotal crimper and is configured to be received upon the upwardly extending die in a precision fit. The flattened bread slice is placed within the pie making toy so as to overlie the upwardly extending die and a quantity of filling material is deposited upon the upper surface of the bread slice. Thereafter, the bread slice is folded over and the crimper is pivoted downwardly to cause the crimping die and upwardly extending die to mesh crimping the edges of the bread slice and forming an enclosing pie which captivates the filling deposit therein. A quantity of coloring material such as cinnamon or the like is then deposited upon the upper surface of the completed pie to impart a realistic baked appearance to the completed pie.
