Autumn Pie Making Workshop

with Stephanie French, co-owner & baker at The Pie Shoppe

Come join us Wednesday, November 27th, for an evening of pie baking! Together we'll chat about fall fruit, sugars, starches, perfecting flaky crust, and make a seasonal fruit pie from our menu at a time when the holiday farmers markets are lush.  We'll be working with locally grown organic  fruit and locally milled West Coast grain. We will be using the local organic fresh fruit and preparing all the fillings from scratch for our pies. While the pies are baking, we will have some snacks and drinks.

Nibbles & drinks included! 

This workshop is perfect for preparing dessert pie for the anticipated holiday season. You will also learn about making a good pastry dough for future crumbles and custards for pie making and work on perfecting pastry techniques. Everyone will walk away with a whole pie they have made, tips, and maybe a few new friends.
