Wild About You & Lime in the Coconut!

Hey all!

Sorry these posts have been a little sparse, just keeping it simple for the next few weeks.

This week we're previewing one of our Valentine flavors, Wild About You. This delightful pie is filled with dark chocolate, bananas and caramel. Cause, y'know, I'm wild about y'all. Sinfully good.

On the other hand, I'm missing the warm weather, and who isn't right now, so I'm bringing on board Lime in the Coconut. This is a lime, coconut and rum whip, so light and sunny you'll feel like you're on a beach. And who doesn't want to feel that?

Our Cutie Quiches this week are a feta with green onion, spinach and garlic (that's one) and the other is a tomato, basil Parmesan. If you want Cinnamon Rolls or Pecan Cinnamon Rolls, get their early while they are still hot and still around.

We'll be at the Hope Artist Village on Saturday from 11-2 on Saturday, right on Pawtucket. Hope to see y'all there!

Chocolate Cream Pie and Thai!!

Hey all!

Been a little silent over here, but mostly that's just how January goes. Holidays are over, feeling a little cold and dreary. I have to tell you, as a Southern transplant, I don't believe there's any time of year harder to keep your focus.

So with that, I'm striking out and focusing on what I love! And filling in a request (or two)

Tomorrow we'll be featuring a very classic, very traditional and very rich and creamy Chocolate Cream Pie. Yup. This is the lighter than air, richer than sin kind of stuff. I do go with a good classic once in awhile, and this is beyond classic. I can't have whipped cream on site, but the chocolate makes up for it.

We're also going to give in a little and fill the request for all those screaming for the Thai Green Tea Pie. Layered with green tea, lime and coconut, this is a pie I thought only I'd like, but lo and behold! It's loved by all. So come out, give it a shot!

We'll be at the Hope Artist Village in Pawtucket at the Winter Farmers' Market from 11-2. What makes tomorrow special is the weather is supposed to be beautiful, so come on out and say hey. Also Monday is a Holiday (Happy Birthday MLK!), so you might have a little more time on your hands to do all you want to. See you there!!

Happy New Year!

Hey all!
Just a heads up, we will not be at the Winter Farmers' Market tomorrow. It's still going on, but we've got a little other business to tend to (more on that later!). All good stuff, Happy New Year, folks!

Autocrat Coffee in Pie and the Holidays!

Hey all!!

First off, we're featuring an Autocrat Coffee Milk Pie this week. I'm curious to see how well it bakes and what exactly it'd do, so I'm going with that. There's also going to be something chocolate (maybe a Chocolate Cherry Whip? A Chocolate Carmel Puff? We'll see! It's a surprise, even to me!), both will be featured at the Hope Artist Village in Pawtucket this Saturday at the Farmers' Market from 11-2. Hope to see you there!

Now for the holidays....

I love holidays, as anyone can tell you. Any reason to get together with those you love or feel a bond with is a good reason, and an even better one to share a pie.

For this year you'll see some old Cutie Pie holiday favorites and a couple new on the menu. If there's something that really floats your boat, just give a shout and we'll make sure it hits your table. Here's the line-up:

Classic Pecan Pie - $25.00 You know it, you love it, nothing says Christmas like pecans!
He-Can Pecan - $25.00 As featured in the Thanksgiving Rhode Island Monthly issue. Decadent Chocolate Pecan Pie, sure to wow everyone!
Traditional Pumpkin Pie - $20.00 This classic isn't just for Thanksgiving!
Naughty Pumpkin Pie - $24.00 Pumpkin fused with brandy and covered in candied pecans. One of our best sellers and the best of both worlds.
Dutch Apple Pie - $22.00 This double crusted beauty is everything an apple should be, and a little more.
Jelly Mince Pie - $22.00 A sweet, jellied mince version of the traditional English Mince. Not for everyone, but just the right person.
Eggnog Pie - $20.00 Eggnog in a pie. A huge hit last year and we're happy to present it again. One of my personal favorites.
Sweet Potato Pie - $20.00 A sweet potato is the perfect potato, this pie screams love from the south.
MERI Mint Pie - $20.00 Rich and cream chocolate peppermint Schnapps with a peppermint swirl of colored sugar on top.

The last, but certainly not least, is our holiday charity pie. As most of y'all know we choose one charity that we, as a Cutie Pie family, believe in to support though our work. This year I'm proud to present the MERI Mint Pie in support of MERI or Marriage Equality Rhode Island. 25% of all proceeds from the MERI Mint will benefit the organization, so feel free to give this as a gift in someone's name or present it to your family with pride.

Our New Years Pies (which can also be ordered for other holidays, if you so choose) are as follows:

Mocha Cherry Jubilee Pie $24.00 Cherries under a layer of chocolate and coffee cream.
Espresso Chocolate Chip Pie $22.00 Sure to wake up anyone for their drive home!


Ordering
Due to expected volume we're accepting prepay only (cash, check and credit card via PayPal).
The last Day to order is December 22nd! There will be a $4 fee for any special dietary needs. You may call or email to order and talk to one of our happy Cutie reps, or place your order with MERI. You're welcome to place your entire order, not just the MERI Mint, with MERI, so feel free. We would suggest all credit card orders go that way.
For cutie Pies call 401 331-2414 or email cutiepiepies @ cox . net

Pick up is at Tina's Jamaican Caribbean Restaurant - 223 Atwells Ave. Providence from the 21st to the 24th.

Thanks so much, y'all and if there's any questions, don't hesitate to give a shout. See you soon, and have a delightful holiday!

Thanksgiving!

Before getting to the holiday menu, let me go over our specials this week real quick. We'll be at the Hope Artist Village in Pawtucket from 11-2 at the Wintertime Farmers' Market. Aside from Pecan Rolls and Quiche, we'll have some Buckeye Pie (sold out too quick last time, so we're reruning!) and Sweet Potato Pie. If there's any time I'll come up with something a little lush as an extra.

Thanksgiving!! I've been trying to post this, but haven't been able to, for some reason. Silly blogger! Bad blogger!

First off, get your order in by the 23rd! We're having pick-up from the 23rd until the 25th at Tina's Jamaican on Atwells Ave. That's at 223 Atwells, right across from the Blue Grotto. While it's open from 10-10, please indicate a time.

Payment. Give a call, we'll work it out with you. You can also email and get more info. We'll also work with your scedual and arrange your pickup time.

The menu! A little expanded this year. You'll see some old favorites and some new delights:

Double Dutch Apple ($22) - a fine, double crusted apple pie with a bit of vanilla crumble inside.

Traditional Pumpkin Pie ($20) - We all know it, we all love it. The Cutie Pie Pumpkin comes from pumpkins, not cans, so you'll have a much more round and full taste. Heavily spiced to knock you off your feet.

Naughty Pumpkin Pie ($24) - Our Traditional Pumpkin, fused with brandy and covered in candied pecans. This is a pumpkin so good it wants to be spanked! Our best seller from last year.

Chocolate Irish Cream Pie ($21) - Creamy chocolate cranked up a notch. Growing up this was the only thing my favorite uncle wanted, and with good reason.

Sweet Potato Pie ($20) - This southern classic (sweet, not savory!) is like mother's milk. If you like pumpkin pie but want something with a little more bite, here you go.

Roasted Pecan Pie ($25) - The house favorite. If you haven't had a pecan pie made by someone from south of the Mason/Dixon, you're missing out, y'all.

The He-Can Pecan ($25) - This is the richest chocolate pecan pie out there. The recipe was given to RI Monthly so y'all could make your own pies this season, but the demand has been staggering. This might knock the Naughty Pumpkin off the best seller list. Make your own or give a shout, we'll make it for you.

PARL Apple Peanut Butter Pie ($20) - The kids won't eat pecans? Hate Sweet Potatoes? Give them this. Each holiday we choose one charity to design a pie for, this Thanksgiving it is PARL, the Providence Animal Rescue League. 25% of all proceeds from this pie go to PARL. As many of y'all know I have a little rescue pug named Snorkels, and rescue is near and dear to my heart. As my pug loves apples and peanut butter, I figured the only pie more appropriate might have bacon in it. If this doesn't appeal to you, you can always donate to PARL directly.

So that's it, folks. Order early and often!! Give a shout and a Cutie rep will walk you through painlessly. Thanks so much, and stay thankful.

Winter Market and Pumpkin Pie

Hey all!!

Just catching up over here... we've got the Pawtucket Winter Market opening tomorrow, and couldn't be more excited. We're doing things a little different this year, instead of being in the hallway we're inside a shop. Yes! A shop! We're right in the middle, left hand side, together with Tina from Tina's Jamaican. So awesome, right? We've stepped up from no shop to half a shop.

The pies this week... we're looking at an Apple Vanilla, bright happy apple with a touch of vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. Crisp, tart, sweet.

We've also got Classic Pumpkin Pie. I got a heap of pumpkins right after Halloween and have been boiling and straining ever since. Have you ever had a real pumpkin pie from a pumpkin? Why not start!

Last, I'm bring back a favorite, just for the open of the market, our now famous Buckeye Pie. Peanut Butter, chocolate, cream cheese whipped into a frenzy. This is a classic everyone loves.

We'll also have some Cutie Quiche, which has been a big hit, and our perfect Cinnamon Pecan Rolls. C'mon by and see us, and while you're at it, how about asking about our holiday pies? I'll get posting about that on Monday. Hope everyone's having a great fall and will see you soon!
