USA Today Visits ‘Pushing Daisies’ Set

USA Today has a lovely article posted about Pushing Daisies, including tidbits from a set visit:

There are some first-day hiccups as the show begins production on a hot day late last month on the Warner Bros. lot. “Who’s going to be adorable?” Sonnenfeld coos to Pace and British actress Anna Friel, who plays Chuck, but he warns, “Guys, be very aware of not touching each other or getting even close.”

They’re filming a scene at the Pie Hole, with its pastry-crust roof and cherry light fixtures, rolling dough for a three-berry as a golden retriever who plays Ned’s dog, Digby, naps off-camera nearby. After multiple takes, the dough is getting thin and sticky, requiring more flour. Finally nailing the scene, Pace and Friel return to their dressing-room trailers outside, where Friel plans to wash her powdery hands.

The water has been turned off, so she asks an assistant to restore it. Problem is, Pace’s faucet has been left open next door, so his trailer begins flooding. Meanwhile, co-star Kristin Chenoweth’s SUV has been covered in toilet paper by her admirer and former employer, West Wing producer Aaron Sorkin.
