The Next Generation Pies
The most innovative pies are now being made. We are baking pies where no baker has gone before.
We have the technology, the passion, and the baking skill to create pies that will fascinate even the most adventurist belly on the planet.
Pies are more adaptable than cake
Pies are more versatile than cupcakes or cookies. Why so. With pies we have more materials to work with: the crust, the filling, and the form.
As pie bakers, we take these things for granted. We all have followed the tradition of round pies in round pans. Okay, some of you are using rectangular pans for your tarts.
Competition with cakes and candies
If any of you enjoy watching Food Network, you’ll notice cakes and candies taking on form and function beyond what was ever imagined to be feasible.
Well now it’s the pies turn. I’m going to transport myself to the future and re-write the rules on pies.
