    Have you ever taken a bite of a baked good and thought, "Wow, I could eat six more of these!" And then you take another bite and your jaw drops because it's just so good. Lucky for us, Clara Polito, the 19-year-old mastermind behind Clara Cakes, is here to demystify vegan pie-making for us. Polito shared a great raspberry peach pie with us and her recipe for the pie is on the Good Food blog. See her in action at KCRW's pie contest on October 2. She's the youngest of our esteemed panel of judges.
