One of Animal Crossing: New Horizons' most well-known special villagers is the visiting musician K.K. Slider. A regular in the Animal Crossing video game franchise, K.K. Slider takes a special role in the Nintendo Switch game by holding special concerts and giving players soundtracks they can use on their island. Recently, an ACNH fan has decided to showcase their love for the musician villager by baking a real-life pie with its crust design based on K.K. Slider.
When Animal Crossing: New Horizons first launched in 2020, fans were likely excited to discover that K.K. Slider would be making a comeback. Unlike Animal Crossing: New Horizons special villagers such as Tom Nook, the Nooklings, Blathers, or Isabelle, K.K. Slider does not appear on a player's island on a daily basis. The dog musician makes weekly visits instead, and players often look forward to spotting the character on their island's plaza, which often signals the start of the weekend.
On Reddit, user spookydonuts used their real-life skills to show off their love for K.K. Slider. In their post, they shared an image of a real-life pie that they had baked with a K.K. Slider design on the crust. The crust's design had the character in their iconic sitting pose, holding the guitar they play on the Nintendo Switch game. Spookydonuts even included an Animal Crossing: New Horizons tree to the pie crust design, likely as a way to fill up empty space on top of the pie filling.
Many replies on the thread complimented spookydonuts's work, saying that the pie looks delicious. Others commented on the Redditor's skill in baking, especially since they were able to make a decent-looking image of Animal Crossing: New Horizons' K.K. Slider on a pie crust. Some fans also asked what spookydonuts used as filling and how they got it to look so green. According to the Redditor, they used green apple, which is why the filling had such a distinct green color.
According to the Reddit profile of spookydonuts, it seems they have a lot of experience in baking customized pie crust designs. They have also posted other designs that they have created based on series such as Avatar: The Last Airbender and Harry Potter. However, their K.K. Slider pie crust seems to be the first one they have done for Animal Crossing: New Horizons. With a large roster of villagers and special characters, hopefully the artist will be inspired to make more Animal Crossing-themed pie crusts in the future.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is available now on the Nintendo Switch.
