Hello all!!
Wow, what an amazing couple of days!! I would love to go into the politics of it all, but will simply say I'm joyful and any falling all over myself will happen in personal blogs and strictly with friends.
That said, let's head into different politics! Tuesday before last I ran into David Cicilline, Mayor of our fair city, at a neighborhood business association meeting. He was so tickled over my election pies that I offered to make one for him. I have, after all, voted for the man.
So I've come up with the He-Can Pecan, a wonderful Chocolate Pecan pie. I know Pecan Pie is sweet, but with a chunk of dark chocolate at the bottom it is perfect with just a little more. We've made this the pie of the week, so delivery will be this Friday between 5:30-7. This pie is $24 because, as I'm sure you can understand, these ingredients are a little more expensive.
We've also got Chocolate Puddin' Pie up for you at the market. It's not very jiggly, just moist in the middle with a power punch of chocolate. After last week, I felt chocolate was in order. This pie, should you like to order it, is only $20, just like usual.
Get your orders in before Thursday at NOON!
Today, Wednesday, is the last farmer market of the season, at least for Cutie Pies. We are going to be at the Winter Market, which starts on Dec. 6th, that's a Saturday, at the American Locomotive Company on Vally St. Do join us, there's going to be a whole lot of wonderful farmers, bread bakers, cheese makers and, of course, Cutie Pies, for your eating pleasure.
Now, on to Thanksgiving.
Cutie Pies was featured in the ProJo's Food and Lifebeat section today. The calls and emails have been... ah... well, overwhelming is a good word. I recommend y'all get your holiday orders in as soon as you can, because we're cutting off after 1,500. We're not there yet, but it won't be long. Pick up a ProJo, it's a pretty good article.
What flavors are we offering this season, you ask?
Sweet Potato Pie $20
Traditional Pumpkin Pie $20
Apple Ribbon $22
Naughty Pumpkin Pie $24 (fused with brandy and covered with candied pecans)
Walnut Maple $25
Classic Pecan Pie $25
We'll be taking orders via email and over the phone, the number is located at the bottom of this post. All orders are pre-pay and pick up is from Monday the 24th to Thanksgiving day, Thursday the 27th at the Blue Elephant. Yes, you can order at the Blue Elephant as well. Payment: We'll be taking credit cards, cash or check. Whatever is best for you.
Ok, so I'm very excited about the future, not just in pie world, but in all the world. I hope you guys feel this, too, and join me in working toward better days. And, of course, eat some really good pie. Thanks, and hope y'all had as good a night last night as I did.

Pumpkin makes Fall fall
Hello all!!
Just a quick check in on the pies of the week. First off, I know this Friday is Halloween, but we're still going to be delivering. We've expanded our delivery hours for the rest of the season from 5-7:30. If an earlier or later time works better for you, let us know and we'll work you in as best we can. You can also arrange to pick up at the Blue Elephant on Wickenden.
Ok, so the pie of the week is Pumpkin. Yes, I know, very pedestrian for me, yes, yes. And I'm not going to do anything strange to it like fuse maple into it or chipped beef or anything remotely weird. Just Pumpkin. Because, let's face it, y'all, sometimes you don't have to mess with a classic.
Also this week I'm offering up something a little twisted, but not much, a Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie. I know some of you will have your fill of Pumpkin at the holidays, so I'm appealing to your sweet tooth with this classic, layered delight. Growing up this meant the adults were having Mince pie or Charcoal Tooth pie (very dark, almost bitter chocolate with lava hot fudge in the middle), but us kids would get Chocolate Peanut Butter. Which was fine by me. it brings back everything I love about Halloween, getting to dress up and act a fool.
I can do Pumpkin in gluten free, low sugar and vegan.
I can do Chocolate in gluten free only.
For any special dietary needs on these pies GET YOUR ORDER IN NOW! We will not accept any special dietary order past Midnight Wednesday.
All other orders can be placed by Thursday at 3pm. Just email or call and we'll get you in.
Also this week we'll be at the Brown University farmers market this Wednesday from 11-2, right off the corner of Thayer and George. There's only two more weeks of this market, so get in while the gettin' is good.
We'll also be at the Downtown Burnside Park market on Friday from 11-2. That's right across the street from Kennedy Plaza. For more information on directions, give a peek here.
Last, we're going to be at this year's Winter Market starting on December 6th. We've got a new location at the American Locomotive Works on Valley St. It is a much bigger venue than last year, which means we'll have a lot more vendors and different products for y'all. Come on out and take a peek. Info here.
Finally, we'll be rolling out our Thanksgiving next week. I highly recommend y'all get an order in if you want one, availability is filling up fast. Hope everyone is having a great week and I look forward to seeing all y'all at the markets or on the delivery route. Happy Halloween!!

RI Monthly Newsletter
Wow, y'all. We had a little article in RI Monthly's little e-newsletter, and the response has been overwhelming. I finally had to write a mass letter to send out. If you're coming to the blog from that article, here's that letter so you'll know all about Cutie Pies.
Hey there, y'all!
First off, thank y'all for your interest in Cutie Pies and our products. If you're receiving this you've asked about our pies after reading a little blurb in RI Monthly's e-newsletter. And yea for it! There's been a lot of response, so we're coming across with this one big letter. Here's the answers to all your questions:
Where can I get a Cutie Pie?
*For now you can find us at the Brown University Farmers Market on Wednesdays between 11-2. It is located at the intersection of Thayer and George on the East Side. You can find directions here: http://www.farmfresh.org/food/farmersmarkets_details.php?market=5
The market is actually in a quad off George, so follow the flow of students students and you should see us.
*You'll also find us at the Downtown Farmers Market on Fridays between 11-2.
That one is held in Burnside Park, right across from Kennedy Plaza. You can find directions here: http://www.farmfresh.org/food/farmersmarkets_details.php?market=13
*When it turns too cold for the outdoor markets you'll find us at the Winter Market every Saturday at the American Locomotive Works. That market starts December 6 and runs until April 25. That information is here: http://www.farmfresh.org/food/farmersmarkets_details.php?market=29
*We also have a Friday Pie Service. Every Friday between 6-7 pm we deliver the pie of the week. To order you simply call or email by THURSDAY at 3PM with the address you'd like your pie delivered to. You may also arrange for your pie to be picked up at the Blue Elephant, but must do so before 3PM on Friday. If you'd like your pie at another time, not a problem, just call us at Cutie Pies and we'll work it out with you.
How can I order pie?
*For now just through the blog, email, or by picking up the phone and calling Cutie Pies (401 331-2414) or the Blue Elephant (401 383-8149). We have, in the past, delivered to other restaurants, but with the holidays coming up we've decided to concentrate on Thanksgiving. Our business is small and I prefer dealing directly with my customers.
Where is the Blue Elephant?
*The Elephant is located at 312 Wickenden St. It's the bright pink house up from Coffee Exchange. You can check out there website here: http://www.blueelephantprovidence.com/
Can I order something other than the pie of the week?
*In general, no. I offer up two flavors every week and pretty much stick to them, if I didn't I'd have to make forty different kinds in a night to keep up, and that's a little unreasonable. However, I'm not unreasonable and understand that not everyone wants pumpkin cheese for as a birthday pie. For birthday, anniversary and special occasion pies, I will make exceptions, but only within reason. Please don't ask for blueberries in December, I can't work miracles.
What flavors do you have for Thanksgiving?
*Ah yes. This is a great season for pie. This year we're offering:
Apple Ribbon Pie - Thinly sliced apple spread open faced like a flower, baked perfectly and lightly spiced. Our most award winning pie. $22.00
Traditional Pumpkin Pie - This might be the first handmade classic pumpkin you'll ever have. $20.00
Pecan Pie - Thick and rich, our classic Thanksgiving. $25.00
Sweet Potato Pie - Spicy and sweet, a Southern classic. $20.00
Walnut Maple Pie - Like a Pecan but with a mid-western flair. $25.00
Naughty Pumpkin Pie - A traditional pumpkin pie fused with Brandy and topped with candied, brandied pecans. This pie is so good it wants to be spanked. $24.00
*If you have any special needs, gluten free, sugar free, vegan, etc. add $2.00 to the cost of your pie.
*The cutoff date for ordering is Nov. 17th.
How do I pay for my pie?
*I hadn't expected things to blow up as quickly as they have. For now we've been working COD or pick up, but will have a paypal account set up by Wednesday. We accept credit cards through the Blue Elephant.
Alright.... oh, last, lots of folks asked how to find out about the pie of the week. Easy, just check the blog. Also I've got a weekly newsletter I send out every Monday, that tells y'all of any new updates, what's happening in the world of pie and what the pies are this week.
Just to let you know this week we're offering up Pumpkin pie, just to whet your holiday appetite and Chocolate Peanut Butter. Check us out at the markets or give a shout.
Thanks to everyone for your interest and thanks so much for taking the time to consider Cutie Pies. I know this all might seem a little weird, but we're just a little business that started out of no where. Within the next year we'll have a pie shop in town and things will be easier. Oh, and for those of you who already put in orders, you're down for this week. Thanks so much!
