Our pie menu this year includes 3 gluten-free crust choices, one of which is a Keto/sugar-free/low-carb/gluten-free pie option:

(gluten-free/vegan/soy-free/corn-free) The pecan filling is made with dates & maple syrup & carefully sourced Georgia grown pecans and the pecan halves on top are from a Missouri farm.
- Pecan Pie with Coconut Flour Crust (gluten-free/vegan/soy-free/corn-free/grain-free) This pie is suitable for Paleo/grain-free diet).

The pecan filling is made with dates & maple syrup & carefully sourced Georgia grown pecans and the pecan halves on top are from a Missouri farm.

We recommend eating pies within a few days of pickup - Storage instructions below.

STORAGE >>

Pecan pies should be stored in their boxes on the countertop for a few days or refrigerate. IF you decide to reheat the pie, cover the edges of the pie with foil before reheating.

REHEATING CINNAMON ROLLS>>

You can freeze cinnamon rolls if you wish and then reheat OR you can reheat cinnamon rolls in the oven after being at room temperature.

IF you freeze them and then reheat after being frozen:

You can freeze the rolls, unfrosted. IF you freeze the rolls please wrap the pan in aluminum foil and possibly even plastic wrap...Yes, that many layers around the pan they come to you in. Then, when ready , you can thaw them out (I would do this overnight and after removing those extra layers of protection you had wrapped the pan and lid in) Then, you can warm them for just a few minutes in the oven (see instructions below under the reheat section), and ice them while warm.

IF you reheat after being at room temperature or refrigerated (not frozen at all):

Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of water over the cinnamon roll and add vegan butter, if desired. Cover the cinnamon roll in foil and reheat at 350°F (180°C) for 10-15 minutes. Adding water prevents the cinnamon rolls from drying out.

REHEATING PULL-APART ROLLS>>

Our favorite way to reheat: Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 350°F. You may leave the rolls in the aluminum pan they came in OR place rolls in a baking dish or arrange on a baking sheet, brush with melted vegan butter. Bake until warm, 7 to 10 minutes.

OTHER INFO >>

>> Please pre-order if you know you want a pie! We will have limited numbers of pies available, so pre-orders are on a first come, first-served basis.

By placing an order, you consent to our refund, cancellation, & "forgotten order" policy.
