2010 National Pie Championships
I believe most
people have heard our good news regarding the Crisco
National Pie Championships! We came home with three more
first places and one second! Ellie’s Cherry Blackberry,
Grandpa Ferrell’s Cherry Rhubarb, Aunt Margie’s Banana
Cream,
and County Fair Candy Apple.
We’re so grateful to all of our customers, all the
hard-working folks here at the shop, all the nice folks
at the championships, Willard Scott and the Today
Show, and our lovely sponsors - The Cherry Marketing
Committee and Dandee Printing! We promise
to keep doing our best to make all of you the best pies
we know how to make and
to keep making you proud! Thanks for making my dream job
come true every day! |

Dreams
really do come true…. Wow! Friends, I just won the
ultimate prize in the pie baking world – the coveted
$5,000.00 Best of Show at the Crisco National Pie
Championships / Food Network Pie Challenge for Tom’s
Cheery Cherry Cherry Berry Pie. I feel like someone
handed me the Green Jacket, the Stanley Cup, the Gold
Medal… talk about validation! I’m not sure one word or
even multiple sentences can possibly convey my feelings
of appreciation, pride, and most importantly, love.
The
miracle of winning for this particular pie is that I
created it for my sweet brother-in-law, Tom Hundt, a
truly inspirational man, who passed away very recently.
I was able to pay tribute to him by writing the pie
story below, which will be attached to every one of his
pies that leaves our store.
Make no
mistake my friends that dreams really do come true and
angels are among us… Thank you dear staff, customers,
family, Crisco, The Cherry Marketing Institute, Dandee
Printing, The American Pie Council, The Food Network,
and especially Tom Hundt for helping make my dreams come true.
