Strangers in the night

Armed with sixty pies, eight pie servers, several zillion pastry swirls and really cool ‘Staff’ nametags, Debbie, Natalia and I hit up Strangers in the Night; a benefit for the Starlight Children’s Foundation. We had so much fun. Not only was it for a good cause (you can never lose when helping the sick kids,) but the music was great (thank you Divine Brown and Blue Rodeo) and everyone we met loved our pies. How can you not have fun when everyone you talk to is raving about how awesome you are?

Now, we know that our pies kick intergalactic butt, but what was also pretty cool was how many people loved our little pastry swirls (or pets des soeurs, for those who weren’t educated by nuns). Nothing like baked goods to bring back the memories of childhood, and our baked goods have all the nostalgic taste you could ever need. Happily, despite an almost constant rush there were a few pies left over at the end of the night that we were able to donate to the silent auction, and we’d love to know who the lucky winner was!

At the end of the day, we loved getting to meet the other vendors , event organizers and the guests, who despite loading themselves up on all the other excellent food available, managed to save a few square inches of tummy room for our Caramel Apple, Blackberry Blueberry Vanilla Bean and Raspberry Rhubarb crumble pies.

Can’t wait to do this again next year!
