trust the pie!

We are temporarily sidelined as we search for a new commercial kitchen to rent!  I will miss seeing all the great ipie fans at the Palo Alto Farmers' Market

All online orders have also been temporarily suspended.

Check back here or our facebook page for updates. 

And please support the Food Cottage Law (AB1616) so that small, artisan food producers like us aren't forced to rent hard to find and expensive commercial kitchens.  Call or write your senator today.

Want more information -- send us an email!

Thanks ipie fans!!!

spring (and ipie) is in the air!


The calendar may say it's February but the trees here in San Francisco are starting to leaf out and the daffodils are starting to pop up everywhere.

That must mean we are in the home stretch -- almost springtime!

As a baker who prefers to use locally grown, organic fruit, February-April is an in between time -- berries aren't ready yet and California apples and pears are pretty much done for the season.

As I typically do during the winter months, I keep busy testing new pie fillings as well as other pie related offerings that might make an appearance in my online shop as well as at the Palo Alto Farmers' Market when it reopens in May.

Until then, there is still lots of pie to eat -- I did find a good source of beautiful organic apples from Washington State so available for order now are classic apple ipies.

So as always, eat more pie!

2012 ipie-lution!

Did you overindulge during the holidays? The resolution to give up sweets doesn't last long for most people so how about resolve to eat smaller sweets? Like, maybe, an ipie!

Now that's a resolution that is easy to keep. And it might help that part of the proceeds each year from ipie sales are donated to the Alzheimer's Association.

While winter time means fewer fruits to choose from for pie baking -- having beautiful pears available this time of year makes it a bit easier to wait for the bounty of summer.

Just ripened Bartlett pears drizzled with a bit of local orange blossom honey topped by a flaky honey brushed crust. No wonder the pear honey ipie quickly became my best selling ipie at the Palo Alto Farmers' Market!

Hosting a party, meeting or other special event? Even though the market is now closed until May, you can still get your ipies! In addition to the pear honey, I also have classic apple ipie available as well as pinwheel cookies.

Local ipie fans can order their ipies by sending me an email me to discuss while fans out of the area can order via paypal. All ordering information is to the right.

And don't forget, eat more pie!
