Welcome

I have always been a pie-eatin lover but never really took the time to master the art of making pie. For the past 11 years, my career has been based on cake mainly. I started off in the famous Magnolia Bakery, back when it was owned by Alyssa Torey, trained as a cake decorator. While working there I met my future employer Lauren Reece, the mastermind behind Billy’s Bakery, where I continued cake decorating and baking everything from cupcakes to cheesecake. Somewhere in the midst of it all, I did 5 years in total working for the amazing Alice’s Teacup as one of their head cake decorators in charge of custom orders from birthdays, showers, and whimsical weddings.
There was just never time where pie fit into my career until recently. My current company, Billy’s Bakery, where I am production manager to two kitchens, had decided they needed to revamp their pies as well as introduce mini pies to the menu. I finally had reason to dive into the world of pie and perfect our products. I began to really enjoy this whole job. I was always intimidated by pie, more specifically pie crust, but with practice and lots of reading, I finally got it. When your dough is made right, it’s wonderful to work with. And honestly, once I got the dough right, I became obsessed with how to fill it. So here is my blog to pie and my ventures into as many recipes as I can gather.
