It is with heavy hearts that we write this email. Thanksgiving pies are not in the cards for us this year. A combination of life and, well, life has us overwhelmed and a bit exhausted before the race has even started! We have not yet decided about the winter holidays but we will keep you posted. Please keep your desserts local though and call Amelia's, Renes, or Pots and Pans, and more!
IF anyone thinks that you want to bake your own we are happy to share our recipes just send us an email. We also will have pie dough for sale just let us know you're interested, we will cut orders off for dough on Friday the 19th.

Thank you all for understanding!
We will bake again, we promise...

For us the holidays represent a non-stop feeding frenzy with some sleep and exercise thrown in. This means that pie often stands in for breakfast and lunch:) So we decided to offer quiche again so that we can at least cover a couple of more food groups. Again, since you all are subject to the bakers' whim, you're getting our go to comfort pies, we just need them, the struggle is real folks.

Logistics First!
Please have your orders in by FRIDAY DECEMBER 18th!!!
Pick up/delivery will be on December 23rd.

Winter Cherry...$32 Individually quick frozen tart cherries are spiced with all the things...cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, orange zest, and pure vanilla. This is not your canned cherry filling cherry pie. You will not find it overly sweet, how would you add whipped cream or ice cream to a too sweet pie?!?

Chocolate Cream...$32 We were asked by some of our younger customers to make sure we offer this lovely for the holidays. Who are we to deny a child? We will not let our dogma run over our karma so chocolate pie it is:) Real heavy cream, dark cocoa, shaved bittersweet Belgian chocolate...an easy request to fulfill.

Browned Butter Honey Nut...$32 Browned butter, slightly sweetened with honey, holds together a mixture of toasted nuts and seeds and it's hard to resist...and the nuts make all of our health food lists right?

Almond Pear...$32 The pie goes without saying. She's moved to the front of the pack as our most requested pie and we think for good reason. Her fans think so too...Vanilla poached pears baked into the perfect almond cream...Just a heads up, she doesn't share too well, make sure you hide a piece for yourself.
Herbs de Provence with Sharp White Cheddar...$32 In the spirit of full disclosure, we love our breakfast meats around here, all of them, so a solid herbed and cheesy quiche makes the perfect bedfellow for the bacon and sausages.

Caramelized Onion and Gruyere...$32 This pretty much speaks for itself...and it's saying yes, have some:) Equally attractive as a breakfast as she is for a late night treat after all have turned in for the evening, you can not go wrong.

FYI Holiday Pie menu coming tonight.

As per usual, we are cutting it close, but who knew Thanksgiving was this close? (I mean the calendar knew of course but 2020 has just been this time warped kinda year)

Let's talk logistics first. We are asking for electronic payments whenever possible to keep contact at a minimum. We accept Venmo, Cash App, Apple Pay, FB Pay....all the things.
Please send you orders to [email protected]

We will be offering delivery again for an extra $5.
Please have your orders in by Thursday, November 19th. Pick up/delivery will be Tuesday the 24th, after 5pm at 4323 N Broadway.

Now the good stuff....

Old Fashioned Pumpkin Pie....$30 And by "old-fashioned" we mean with Bourbon, because, we all know we need all the help we can get. (But the alcohol cooks out so don't worry:) This pumpkin pie will find its way on to your late night snack plate and you'll be sneaking a piece for breakfast so make sure you hide a slice!

Apple Pie, Dutched....$32 Crisp, not too sweet apples are tossed with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a dash of cardamom...oh and orange zest. Topped with our vanilla oat streusel, this pie is the perfect blend of Julie and Heather. Julie can always find room for cardamom and Heather practically puts orange zest on everything. (we can talk about the emotional issues surrounding this later:)

Browned Butter Maple Pecan Pie...$32 We have found ourselves making this year round, she's well worth the effort. This pie is heavy on pecans and not too sweet, which really, in the end, gives you a free pass for seconds....right?

Almond Cream with Poached Pears Pie...$32 She officially became de rigeur last year although we know a few of you lost your hearts to her long ago. Pears poached in vanilla syrup and baked in an almond cream really will test your limits of self control, we apologize in advance. But really, don't you think we've all earned it this year? That's a resounding yes ma'am....

Looking forward to baking! This is our favorite way to kick off the holiday season!!!

Pie....It’s happening this year. Offerings coming soon....

11/20/2019

DEADLINE IS TOMORROW!!!!

It's here! Really, it is...and it feels like it's tomorrow. Last year it was early and even with it being late, we are still late. BUT we are game and ready to bake so let's do this!

We will take orders until next Thursday, November 21st. Pick up will be on Wednesday, November 27th from 10-12 at 4323 Broadway. If you want delivery, there will be an extra $5 charge. If you are traveling, these pies will either freeze or keep in a cooler for a road trip!

And without further ado....

Dark and Stormy Pumpkin Pie...$30 Our pirate spirit was a little miffed at the snow this weekend so we are pulling out the dark rum. The pumpkin is better for it, we promise.

Maple Pecan Pie...$32 And she's now a standard. The work has been well worth the effort. She has earned herself pre-season request status. If you don't know yet, give her a shot, you'll be happy you did.

Double Dutched Apple Pie...$32 You all are being subjected to bakers' whim on this one. Our vanilla oat streusel blanketing a hearty serving of perfectly spiced apples is too much, and the craving is real y'all. You won't be upset we promise.

Almond Cream with Poached Pears...$32 And it's official, she's now a Thanksgiving Pie. Her fans are serious about her showing up for the first round of celebrations, she will get you in the spirit. And you can enjoy her without guilt before the holiday cookie trays start to show up. Pears poached in a vanilla syrup will be baked in an almond cream and you may never look back. She's just that good...sorry not sorry, we love her so.

We can't wait!!! Julie and Heather

Any reason to eat "Pi" is a good reason.

Soooo....Next Thursday is Pi day. The Following video will help refresh your old math skills....
https://youtu.be/3HRkKznJoZA
(you are welcome for the ear worm)

We digress. Back to the real issue...this weather sucks. What better way to handle seasonal affect than by using a math holiday and a play on words as an excuse for eating our emotions away with pie? None we can think of, so here it goes...

Our three most requested pies will be available for pick up next Thursday, March14th (Pi day) between 3:30-5:30 at 4323 North Broadway. Order by Monday Night, March 11th! email [email protected]
(as always delivery is available for a $5 fee) Cash, check, or various e-payments accepted (Cash App, Apple Pay, Venmo)

Almond Cream with Poached Pears...$32 She's not just for holidays anymore!
She is making her debut as marriage anniversary pie! (one of the many perks of an Upper Crust Catered wedding:)
Her fame is spreading so if you haven't enjoyed the perfectly creamy almond filling with vanilla poached pears this is your off season chance! And for those die hards who order their Christmas Almond Pie well before the leaves have even changed, you're welcome:)

Double Crusted Apple Pie...$30 Emotional eating at it's best. (Are you sensing a theme yet?) Baked apples in some form are a constant in so many cultures that it goes without saying that Apple Pie is good for what ails you. Any Month. Any Day. At Any Time. Breakfast is my favorite time, what's yours? And to you all who eat theirs with a sharp cheddar we applaud your style.

Browned Butter Nut...$32 If you close your eyes and tell yourself that the nuts and seeds in this beauty fall with in the parameters of your current eating restrictions, we will not tell you otherwise. It's really just that good that you'll tell yourself anything to get your hands on a piece of this.

All of the above can be frozen for future enjoyment, or even sliced and frozen for emergency situations...like having teenagers, or the witching hour, or a puppy, or again, this weather.

THERE IS STILL TIME TO ORDER!
Cutoff is tonight!!!
Or add to your order for those of you have already sent us emails 🙂 Remember, you can not have too much pie...ever.

Soooo....yep it's here. Between Halloween and Daylight Savings we are still getting our bearings, but what we do know is that we have your pies covered for the next holiday! Thanks again to Jonathan and the Milktooth crew for the kitchen space!

We will take orders until Thursday, November 15th. Pick up will be on Wednesday, November 21st, from 10-12 at 4323 Broadway.
If you want delivery, there will be an extra $5 charge. If you are traveling, these pies will either freeze or keep in a cooler for a road trip!

And now the goods.....

Brandied Pumpkin Pie....$30 The chilly weather and the promise of evenings spent fireside set our minds to the perfect hot toddy or the just right spiced cider with a splash of brandy. But why should they have all the fun? Our favorite pumpkin pie will share in the good cheer and refinement this year....and even if you have a slice for breakfast, don't you worry about the brandy, it's always 5 o'clock somewhere in the world.

Maple Pecan Pie....$32 This lovely has moved past rookie status and makes her sophomoric appearance thanks to an early fan's request. She takes a bit of extra prep but man is it worth it. The toasted pecans, boiled syrup, and splash of raw apple cider vinegar are sure to garner this pie a larger fan base this year.

Double Crusted Apple Pie....$30 There really is almost nothing to say....it's the country's pie for a reason. The apples are perfectly spiced, a touch of orange, a bit of molasses, and not too sweet. No thick artificial pie filler here...it's the real deal and the perfect way to welcome family and friends home for the holiday.

Almond Cream with Poached Pears...$32 If you're smart, you'll make your off season request after we've had a glass of wine (or two), when our defenses are down. One particular lady did exactly that, so you have her to thank for this winter staple making a fall appearance. We are sure this pie's beauty will translate just fine. Pears poached in a vanilla syrup will be baked in an almond cream and you may never look back. She's just that good...sorry not sorry, we love her so.

We can't wait!!! Julie and Heather

We have 4 tickets we are looking to sell for this Saturday’s Outstanding in the Field in South Haven MI

06/12/2018

Moms had their day, now it's Dads' turn! If you're tired of buying ties and barbecue tools then we have the perfect gift for you:)

Dutched Strawberry Rhubarb Pie....$30 This will probably be the last call for rhubarb so get them for Dad! If it's really for you and you're just disguising it as a gift, don't worry we won't tell. This one is topped with our Vanilla Oat Streusel and is really just so good.

Fresh Raspberry Pie...$30 We have a dad in our lives who loves this and we are sure you will too. Just sweet enough for your fix, but not so sweet that you loose the freshness of the raspberries. With a hint of cardamom and orange you'll be licking your plate clean.

Lemon Cream...$28 add Blueberry Sage Compote...$30 She's been gone for a bit but summer is here and she's ready to make her debut. This lemon cream is the stuff of lazy afternoons or late dinners on the patio. The blueberries really make this pie over the moon but for the purists out there you have options.

ORDERS IN BY THURSDAY EVE! Baking will happen on Friday and pick up will be
Saturday morning from 9:30-11 at 4323 Broadway...
