Course Details
The Pie Pop-Up is my online baking course for everyday bakers (and even non-bakers!) who are ready to learn the art and joy of pie making.
GLUTEN FREE?
Don’t count yourself out! All of the crusts and fillings have the option to be made 100% gluten free….and I’ll show you how on THE PIE POP-UP!
WHAT IF YOU COULD CUT INTO YOUR PIE KNOWING…
It tastes nostalgic, like home, like a hug coming straight from your Southern grandma’s arms. It’s crafted from your own signature deep golden, all butter crust and stacked with flaky textured layers. Let’s not forget the perfectly cooked sweet filling just waiting for you to take your first (of many) bites.
