Piefection Pie Shop, the newest scratch bakery and one-of-a-kind pie shop in the Valley, has your favorite holiday pies, including the December special, Apple Cranberry Crumb.
“We use Granny Smith apples, with cinnamon and freshly ground nutmeg, as well as whole cranberries,” said Cheryl Standage, shop co-owner and entrepreneur. “The crumb is the traditional French crumb topping, with real butter,” she added.
Another specialty pie for December will be the Pumpkin Cheesecake, which also was the special of the month for November. “Because the pie was so hugely popular, we decided to carry over through the month of December,” commented Cheryl.
Cheryl has had a passion for food from a very young age. “I constantly observed my mother and my grandmother cooking and baking,” she said, “and I developed a relentless desire to not only follow their example, but to always do it with quality ingredients to create the most fabulous food possible.”
Piefection now features whole pies to go, in 30 different varieties, with everything made in-house daily. Among the favorites are coconut cream, banana cream, chocolate cream, lemon meringue, harvest pumpkin, country apple, peach, cherry and triple berry.
In addition to whole pies, Piefection makes chicken and turkey pot pies to either take and bake or baked off and ready to eat. The store also offers homemade rolls. “Everybody who tastes them just keeps coming back,” Cheryl chuckled. “Our rolls are soft and yummy. They are just delicious.”
According to this pie shop owner, everything is made from scratch. “We use no preservatives or additives,” Cheryl said of Piefection’s many creations, “and only the finest ingredients around—freshly ground nutmeg, real butter, real whipping cream—and we scour the country to find only the best quality…peaches from Georgia, cherries from Michigan, and wild blueberries from Maine. Our chocolate only comes from Belgium…Callebaut, the best.”
Piefection is co-owned by local Mesa residents, William and Cheryl Standage and Derek and Summer Kennedy.
