Stacey Hicks
While growing up in a small town outside of Indianapolis, IN, Stacey Hicks started baking in her parents' kitchen and coming up with exciting recipes. When she was 15 years old, she moved out to Los Angles with her family and decided to pursue a career as a chef. She finished her education at the Culinary Institute and started her own catering company out of her home, working with friends, family and others who knew about her delicious cooking. After completing an internship at a local bakery, she became the pastry cook in a professional kitchen. She plans to open her own bakery one day to share her creations with the world.
Variations and Substitutions
- Substitute lime juice for the lemon juice.
- Substitute whipped cream for the meringue but don't broil it.
- Add a layer of melted white chocolate over the pie crust before filling. You can also add a layer of raspberry preserves over the chocolate.
