Valentine’s Day

31 Jan

A friend just sent us a link to a page on the Williams Sonoma website. Looks like WS is offering pie pops for Valentine’s Day. And it’s a great idea! We think so too! Here’s what’s not so great: for about $30 WS will ship a mere six pops from a bakery in California. One week later, you can expect them to arrive. Customers are advised to freeze the pops if they won’t be eating them within a few days, then thaw and eat. The word “fresh” does not, in fact, come to mind. Friends, do not commit this sin against pastry. We beg of you.

If you really want to show someone your love, allow us to deliver a dozen FRESH, flaky, pops to your sweetie just hours after we pull the pastries out of the oven, not days and certainly not weeks later. Choose from luscious apple, decadent maple pecan, or spicy lemon ginger, or mix flavors within each dozen. We’ll tie each box with beautiful satin ribbon, and of course include a note with your personalized message.

$45 includes: one dozen delicious pie pops, gift wrapping, note card, and delivery on February 14th (or the day of your choosing).

Cheap Tart

National Pie Day, January 23rd!

13 Jan

Not that you needed an excuse, but January 23rd is National Pie Day, and we’d say that’s as good a day as you’re gonna get for ordering up some Cheap Tart goodness. The 23rd is a Monday. You know what would make your co-workers happy on a Monday? Pie. You know what would make your significant other happy on a Monday? Pie. Heck, if your pooch is anything like Connie here, a pie pop will make her Monday a little more wonderful, too.

Connie’s owners (for whose wedding we are proud to be providing pie this summer) sent along this picture, and it’s too darn cute to keep to ourselves. We’re naming Connie our Pie Pup of the Month, by the way.

Call us to order! 773.344.1998. Our menu is on the website, for your viewing pleasure.
