Lemon Blueberry Pop and Chocolate Strawberry Frenzy
Hey y'all!!
Sorry for the late update this week, we weren't sure if we'd get the right kind (fresh/organic) blueberries in to do what I wanted to do. But did they come in!! Not many of them, but enough to really sock it to ya.
So this week we've got one repeat flavor and one new. The repeat is my Lemon Blueberry Pop! This is a lemon filling, much like a lemon mirange, but so fierce it'll suck your head inside out. Inside the gel are bunches of uncooked blueberries. The result? They explode in your mouth. Literally. I'd explain the chemistry, but like to simply say it's magic and leave it at that. This is one of our more popular flavors, so I had to bring it back in time for blueberries.
If that isn't quite your cup of tea, or you'd simply like some chocolate, we've got the Chocolate Strawberry Frenzy. This is a creamy chocolate (think more pudding than custard) fused with strawberries and with large, fresh strawberry chunks. Delishious!
Along with our Cutie Quiche and Pecan Cinnamon Rolls, which have both been smash hits, we're also introducing Banana Bread (with and without walnuts) and Cornbread. Now... Cornbread is something near and dear to my heart. Like most simple foods a lot of folks don't quite do it right. Too much fooling with simplicity makes it just mush. That said we'll have a simple, sweet Cornbread as well as a Jalapeno Cornbread.
We'll be over at Lippitt Park this Saturday, as we have the last few. Lippitt Park is the big park right next to Blackstone Blvd. While our usual hours are from 10-4, keep in mind that Farm Fresh and the Hope High Farmer's Market are going to be in Lippitt Park as well. They start a little earlier, so then, will I. Go get your veggies and come on over for dessert (or breakfast if you'd like a Cinnamon Roll). No more delivery orders for this week, we're full up.
Hope everyone's have a great week and enjoying some of this beautiful weather! Congrats to Lynn and Paul on their upcoming wedding (very good customers, completely belong together) and we'll see y'all at the park!

Sue's Honey Dipped Ricotta, Banana's Foster and Spicy Pineapple Chocolate
Hello there, y'all!
Alright, last week at Lippitt Park's Open Market was AMAZING! Not only did everyone show up, but the quality of vendors really blew me away. Nice day all the way around, even though there was some drizzle in the morning. This Saturday should be even better, and there is no predicted rain. (Knock on wood here, guys.)
This week we've got three pies for ya. First is our Banana's Foster. I did this a little while back and it was such a hit there wasn't even time to announce it, just flew off the shelves! This is bananas flambeed in rum and brown sugar, then baked into a vanilla pie. Outstanding, you'll never have better. And not as messy as a traditional Foster.
Next up is the Spicy Pineapple Chocolate. Yes, I did do this last week. The thing is there just weren't enough, and it's been requested again by a whole lot of folks, so here it is: Lightly spiced fresh pineapple in a creamy, dark chocolate filling. Might sound unusual, but most of my very unusual pies are the best.
Last pie is very special to me. This is called Sue's Honey Dipped Ricotta. This is a sweet ricotta pie, very traditional, very Rhode Island, but has honey dipped strawberries sprinkled throughout and baked in. Sweet, natural, made with the best ricotta (Narragansett Creamery), local honey and fresh berries from one of my best friend's organic greenhouse.
This pie is named and designed after Susan O'Connell, a good friend of mine and one of the best local ladies I know. I wanted something traditional to Rhode Island (Sweet Ricotta), because she's from here. Everything had to be local (unlike bananas) because Sue is the best of what's local to this state. She's a little shy, but once you open her up, boy howdy! She's also very no nonsense and clear cut in her opinions and world view, but is willing to listen to everyone's point. This is unusal. Susan is fresh, like a good strawberry, bright, warm and a perfect heart inside. Sue, indeed, has a heart so big you could see it from space. This is my warm, sun soaked (honey), funny, twisted friend. And I hope y'all enjoy her pie, because if Sue were a pie, this would be it.
And last, this week we'll be carrying two kinds of Cutie Quiche (not sure what they are until tomorrow), but will say we sold out of them pretty instantly. So get there early!
Same for the Pecan Cinnamon Rolls, so good they were out the door within a half hour!
We will be introducing other things this week if time permits... can I ask y'all to look for Bagels? If not this week, next. No deliveries this week, we've been slammed. Hope everyone has a great weekend, and we'll see you at the park!!

New Market! This Saturday!!
Hey all!!
This is a quick update to let y'all know what we're up to. We've got a new Market, the Open Market at Lippitt Park, starting this Saturday from 10-4. We'll be there with bells on, and, if you don't have any big plans for Memorial day weekend, so will you!
Lippitt Park is that big park right next to Blackstone Blvd. There will be boutique food producers like myself, as well as lots of arts, crafts, antiques and vintage items. For exact directions and details, check out the website!
As to pie flavors, we're dong some different stuff this week. Along with our American Apple (double crusted classic) we'll be having a Vanilla Blueberry Buckshot (vanilla custard shot with fresh blueberries) and our Chocolate Pineapple (which is just like it sounds).
Three flavors, you ask? Yes. We're trying to open up a little more and expand, not just in amount, but in product!
It gives me great pleasure to announce that we'll also have Cutie Quiche on hand, single sized quiches, just in time for summer.
We'll also have my world famous Pecan Cinnamon rolls. You've never had a roll quite like this one.
As the weeks go on you'll be seeing a little more from us. While pie is our staple and always will be, it's time to start wowing y'all with everything we can do. Start looking for cornbreads, Baby Cakes and Ginger Spoons. If something goes well, we'll keep it on the menu.
If there's anything you'd like delivered or held back for you on Saturday, let me know soon as you can. Hope everyone's doing good and here's looking for a great summer!

Bridal couples choosing Wedding Pie, not cake
Pies in the News
This is Shea the cutie pie's guy. I just read this over in the Chicago Sun Times.
It's about how Pie is becoming the replacement for Cake at weddings. Reminds me of the event we did for Liti and Michele last summer.

She drew in her breath.

-------------------------------------------------
Five years ago, midway through a second date with a beautiful woman and emboldened by a little too much wine, I revealed my most fanatical belief. I set down the dessert menu, leaned back in my chair and set the crazy free.
"Before we go any further," I said, "there's something you should probably know."
"For this relationship to work, you have to understand that at my wedding, there will be pie -- not cake -- for dessert."
I stared into her eyes, searching for any hint of fear, ready for her to dart toward the door. "If you can't handle that, it's probably best if you just get out now."

Tangerota Berry and Chocolate Vanilla Volcano
Hey y'all! Just giving the update, hope everyone out there is a doing well and ready for some freaky good pie.
Tangerota Berry, which is a mouthful, I know, is an amazing pie designed after an amazing lady. If you do not know Dorota Streitfeld or haven't been to one of the Rebel HQ parties that she co-hosts, your life is far less rich, colorful and a whole lot less interesting. She is, without a doubt, one of my favorite people in New England and defiantly one of the friendliest. Look her up sometime, you'll be greeted with a smile and open arms.
But what's in a Tangerota Berry? Things I knew she'd like, and hopefully you will, too. It's a Tangerine custard with slices of Strawberries sprinkled throughout and a healthy kick of Tequila. It is almost like a Tequila Sunrise, but better. And in pie.
You might ask what you need to do to get a pie designed and named after you. Well... be like Dorota.
Our other flavor this week is Chocolate Vanilla Volcano. This is a sweet vanilla custard with a dark, near black, organic chocolate layered on top. You'd expect me to go all spicy, but that's in a few weeks when the good chilies come out. But no, this is super sweet and awesome goodness. No spicy just yet.
We'll be at the Hope Artist Village in Pawtucket this Saturday from 10am until 1pm. We've exceeded capacity for delivery this week (even before the announcement! Been a busy girl!) so if you'd like to pick up a pie, hit us up at the market.
All you vegans out there, check us out next week, I've got something special with y'all in mind.
Hope everyone's well and having a wonderful week!

Choco Coco Tango and Strawberry Cream
First off, I wanted to thank the Providence Phoenix for our Editor's Pick in the recent Best of Providence issue. We were awarded "The Best Non-Maternal Way To His Heart". Which fits us to a tee.
But thanks isn't why the Phoenix loves us, or even why you're here. You'd like to know what the pie of the week is and how to get it. Alright!
This week we're featuring my Choco Coco Tango. Now, those of y'all have have had my Coconut Cream Pie understand that I don't make just any old ordinary Coconut Cream. This is a thick, gooey, luscious Coconut with high notes of fresh vanilla tons of shredded coconut throughout. I like to use the 1923 version of the recipe, which means before canning and the 50's Cult of the Housewife. Which means a better, older, richer process. And it shows in the pie.
But I go on, the Choco Coco Tango is a dark chocolate crust with a layer of chocolate in the bottom of the shell, topped with that beautiful, old Coconut Cream recipe. If you don't like coconut, you'll still love this. Decadent doesn't even cover it.
As always, our second flavor is for those who don't like chocolate or want something not quite as rich. Something simple and sweet, just a little this side of normal fair. For y'all we've got my world class Strawberry Cream. Halfway between a custard and a mousse, this is a soft, fresh and spingy little pie that pushes a strawberry to its' limits!
Both can be done Gluten Free, but not diabetic or vegan. I'll have something more appropriate for both next week. You can always order something special, if you have any dietary needs.
You can find these pies and at least one Cutie baker at the Hope Artist Village this Saturday from 10am until 2pm. If you'd like home delivery, just drop us an email or give a call to our office. As always you can pick up, if that's your preference, at Tina's Jamaican Restaurant on Atwell's Ave. right across from the Blue Grotto. Keep in mind, pick up requires at least 24 hours notice.
Thanks so much, again, guys! I know a whole lot of y'all voted for us (write in) for the Reader's Best Of, and I greatly appreciate it. Hope to see you at a market or on the delivery route soon. And our Spring/Summer market schedule is coming soon!
All our best!
