I Heart Providence

Hey all!!

Just in case you forgot, with all the snow, new episodes of Lost and every day living, Valentines' Day is just around the corner. Not to worry, we've got you covered. This week the Cutie Pie crew are putting together little gift bags that won't break the bank but will make your loved one feel special. A little bit on that later, first, where to see us this week!

I Heart Providence
has come back around, and this year should be an even better party. Held at City Hall and starting at 6PM on Thursday the 11th, this party is the end all be all of lovers and lovers of Providence. Come by for some food, music, and get in the media booth to tell the world why you love Providence. Things aren't that bad, show some love.

We'll also be at the Hope Artist Village Winter Farmers' Market, complete with our Valentine flavors, just in case you can't join the festivities at City Hall. The market starts at 11am and we'll stick around as long as we've got pie.

So what are we serving? Four delightful flavors this week! Follow me down the wonderful and wicked ways of love.

Falling in Love This was a favorite last year and has been heavily requested. A chocolate crust filled with a dark chocolate smashed with raspberries and a mint ribbon, this is the perfect way to let your loved one know exactly how you feel.

Wild at Heart Not just in love? Completely bananas? Chocolate whipped with bananas and covered in caramel, this succulent little pie will have your sweetie swinging from the chandelier.

Vanilla Heart Not a chocolate fan, are you. So, try this lush vanilla with an eggy center, complete with a bruleed top. Yes, vanilla might sound boring to others, but Cutie Pies makes it decadent and new. Surprise your partner with... vanilla!

Cupid Can Suck It Ok, not everyone is in love, and the big V-Day celebration isn't always well timed. So what? You can have a pie, too. Chocolate filled pie full of cherries and hand made marshmallows. No love has ever tasted better.

So that's it, y'all! Give a shout, email or phone, and we'll hook you up with a gift box, whole pie, tasters, cuties, whatever you'd like. You can even call and tell me what you think the next pie name should be! Hope to see you at I Heart Providence, it will hoot of a time, but if not we'll catch y'all later in the week. Until then, keep warm!

Who Dat Pie & Sweet Ricotta

Hey all!!

Alright, so unless you've been living under a rock or you're just not interested in football, the Saints are headed to the Superbowl this Sunday. Now, I admit, usually, I don't care. I am, however, from New Orleans, and am part of my tribe.

So in honor of my city's team heading to the big show in so many freakin' years, I'm doing a Who Dat Pie. Now, I have to maybe explain this a little bit. I've been getting a lot of questions about what, exactly, a Who Dat is. It's our fight song. As in, "Who dat sayin' they gonna beat them saints, who dat?! Who dat?!"

The Who Dat song has sorta.... well, let's just say the city has done exactly what my city does, and everyone is now doing their own version of the Who Dat song. In case you'd like to know what that sounds like, take a look at the Times Picayune/NOLA.com site to hear the whole line up of songs. It really is quite fun. http://www.nola.com/music/index.ssf/2009/12/new_orleans_saints_tribute_son.html

So what's in a Who Dat Pie? Chocolate, lots of it, and pralines. And lots of lots of love. Molasses. And more pralines. And cream. And more pralines. Who dat sayin' they gonna eat that pie? Who dat?!

While I'm usually very fair and like to put in both sides of pie, in love and not in love for Valentine's day, all political candidates, the front runners of any race..... not this time. I'll admit, I live Persimmon Pie (the best persimmons being found in Indiana), but they aren't in season. And no one around here really knows Shoofly Pie. So what to do?

Go local.

That's right, this week we're featuring a local favorite, the Sweet Ricotta. For once I won't put berries or honey or anything in it, just let this wonderful little pie speak for itself.

We'll also have a few Key Lime Pies at the market this Saturday, but only in whole pies, the crust won't allow little ones. So jump on them while they last! There's also going to be some quiche (new flavors!) and maybe, if we have time, cinnamon rolls.

Alright, y'all, see you at the Hope Artist Village tomorrow from 11-2. Hope you have a great weekend!

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
