This is Faith, the starter.

A bit of Faith is in every Sweetcie Pie item that will accept it, including pies, breads, WOC's.  Not only does it levan the bread, Faith makes everything more flavorful and digestible.

Gotta love Faith!

Hi! I'm Karen, your baker.

If you are here reading this, we probably have something in common  --- the love of good pie!

​

Pie is a simple dish, with few ingredients. Yet, the pie from any one baker is a very unique product.  I've tasted many delicious handmade pies, and each one is different.  That is because there are so many choices to make along the pie making process.  I’ve devoted a lot of time and thought about my choices for making pie.

​

I personally seek out the best tasting fruit and flours.  Sugar is restrained in each recipe to let the fruit shine.  Every pie has fresh milled sprouted spelt, sourdough starter, and cultured butter in the crust for great flavor.  I rub and smear the fat and flour on a wooden board for a superior pastry texture.  The pies that I make for you reflect all my efforts for the most delicious pie.  I hope you’ll agree.  Check back often to see what's new online.  To keep in touch, follow me on Instagram and subscribe to my newsletter.
