❤️💗Following love thru this fast paced living can certainly be challenging for any of us. A loyal friend and customer @rich.pulse ordered a GF Bumble Berry Pie for his sweetheart this Valentines. He requested the word Love and the rest was up to me. 😉 Sending out a few more pie pics from my pie shelf of this past couple of days. Happy Valentines Weekend💗and If you get a chance, Check out @mnmomag @derushaj sharing some “for the love of desserts” this month. It’s an exciting time to be a pastry chef/or my personal path of piemaker/baker. We’re known around the USA as a hot foodie trending location. I love this especially with all the bravery we face for 6 months of pure chill. We’re not timid to venture outside. Well? Maybe sometimes. Sunday & Monday are giving us a break weather wise and with it and I’m heading out to @Minnetonka and @excelsiorminn and test a couple of desserts. Just getting outside will be worth it. 💗😉👍Smile at everyone you meet.. #smileitssunday #gfpie #dessertsofinstagram #getoutdoors #organicfruits #pies #eatmorepie #piespiespies #piemaker #goodmorning @heathers_pies

Happy Valentines Day Friends! ❤️🌺❤️🌺❤️💗💗 I’m not late. I’m just busy making some fruit pies & fruit tarts for you all today. When you’re told that your pies are the best, they’ve ever eaten, and the crust was to die for and how much it meant at their last event. And with that I was then handed a large bouquet of Red Roses & mixed flowers from @shopbachmans. I now have two bouquets from @shopbachmans I almost had to take a seat. What a kind person you are. ❤️ I’ll keep it between us. 😉❤️Enjoy your loves today folks and go out on that date because you deserve a night out. Remember to greet every person you meet with a smile. It’s my new personal goal. #happyvalentinesday❤️ #love #pieislove #piejoy #organicfruit #bestcrustever #sosweet❤️ #giveback #bethatkindofwoman #lifeisgoodinminnesota #minneapolisfoodie #minnesotan #minneapolisartist #piemaker #piespiespies @heathers_pies

Lots of “Yes’s” coming up this valentines week.❤️”Yes”❤️ The Board of Trustees voted “YES” to Heather’s Pies for the use of their beautiful church kitchen. Now, the next step will be a friendly visit from our city of Mpls food inspector. Pay the licensing fee. Get my Kitchen Mgr. Certificate reinstated every 4 years. I’ve been skipping and dancing on my toes this entire past weekend. Also, hanging with the littles and spoiling them might have had something to do with it as well. 🥰 What a sweet challenge ahead. My Creme Pies can now go back to work. Have I ever mentioned how much I love making puddings, custards & creams along with my fruit pies?? The whole process involves science. And who didn’t like science in school? If all goes according to plan I’ll have the church kitchen door wide open for you before PI-DAY 3/14 More details soon. In the meantime, the address for pie pick up remains the same. St. Louis Park. Here’s a sample pie made yesterday. It’s a pie full of the creamiest butterscotch custard in a buttery crust. This pie is love. Pure love from an old recipe card tucked in the sleeve of Grandma Bunny’s Breadmaking book. She was known for her bread as well. Talk about feeling her love. PIE is LOVE!!! Especially this week. Call by tmrw Monday for placing your Valentines Day Pies. The Message Pies take time to make. Have a great snowy stuck indoors day. Perfect day for baking. #pieislove #piespiespies #eatmorepie #custards #puddings #organicfruit #valentines #homemadelove #imloved @heathers_pies

Hello Woodbury! Hello my beloved Royals!! Thank you for the article with my Pie Business from the Woodbury Magazine for February. The month of love. When I was a Royal back in the day. The little town had 2-gas stations, 2-pizza joints, and the other popular hangout: Wooddale Rollerskating Rink. Changed its image and grew to a large sporting complex. The tennis club at day and rink at night. It was where your parents dropped you off at 9pm. Saturday and pick up was 7am. Sunday. We were locked in. You leave, you didn’t get to come back in. Period. My heart was broken there. and I broke another’s heart. Oh, the teen drama of 1st time puppy love. The “Gang” used to drag race on Radio Drive because it simply was a straight tar road of a 1/4 mile of beautiful tar that emptied out to the KDWB Station with its radio tower looming over you larger than life. My posse was the best. I lived two worlds. Cheerleader,Jocket, And, part of a gang of friends that were the best of friends. And they drove super fast sweet cars. It’s amazing any of us survived. No seatbelt laws back then. Driving to cottage grove at a speed I won’t mention. They had your back. You would pull into the school parking lot as the bell was going off. Me, popping out of the car in my little green Indians cheerleader outfit. Dang, I was little. Times have changed😉😉 The stories of a teenager I could tell. Harmless teens. No such thing as vandalism. Those were for the kids that were bored. Woodbury was transitioning in to growing up itself. While our school was being built we would be bussed to Cottage Grove Senior High as a Park Indian for that one year. Cornfields all around to Afton. I don’t recognize you anymore except for remnants here and there. You grew fast. The explosion was quick. But you’re still Woodbury to me. Now, go find that loyal friend and make some pie!! Thank you Woodbury I love ya guys always.💕❤️ #woodburyroyals #woodburymn #woodbury #cheerleader #trackandfield #basketball #bestfriends #gotyourback #loyal #pieislove #piepiepie #fruitpies #anykindofpie #organicfruit @kerrygoldusa @pyrexhome @marthastewart @countrylivingmag @woodbury_mag @heathers_pies

Waiting. Waiting can be tough when all you want to do is move forward. Why does God slow us down with particular moments? The Board of Trustees re-scheduled their meeting for the 11th. Creme pies hang in there. In the meantime, there’s things needing to be accomplished. Pie Classes scheduling etc...Oh, and the new pies for the website. if you only knew the pies I’d love to put up online. Like my Sour Cream & Raisin Pie with its walnut crust or my Raspberry & Creme Meringue Pie aka: Raspberry Angel Pie or the sweet tooth loving Chocolate & Banana Creme Pudding pie. Or anything Lemony. My Grandmothers recipe of a Lemon Icebox Pie is absolutely delicious and that woman knew how to make this one. I’ll keep you posted. Plus, keeping my index and middle fingers and toes crossed for my next next step works as well right? What xx a beautiful day today. We have more sun. Heading over to Lake of The Isles for the taking in some more remnants of ice sculpt ing feats made for us to enjoy TC’s #pieislove #pieislove #piesofinstagram #piesoninstagram #piegrams #creampies #madefromscratchwithlove @heathers_pies

Welcome February❤️We meet again. The Luminary Loppet is taking place tonight over at Lake of the Isles. Prettiest name for a lake don’t you agree? We love our chain of lakes right here in the heart of our Twin Cities. Just like the love we have for our 1st Grandbaby-H. Who’s not such a little anymore. Going to school back in the day working on my Commercial Art Degree and living in a Victorian Mansion at Lake of the Isles was pure heaven.Young, single-no desire to have a young gentleman/guy hanging onto my sleeve hoping I’d consider marriage. Not yet. I had a life to live. I became part of a running team and our daily morning runs were of LotI’s 3x’s 4 times a week. This small body of magical bends and turns all the way around while taking in the fresh air and gazing at the old victorian mansions that any of us would die for to simply live in. Tonight with the Luminary Loppet showing its beauty for all of us to enjoy, always hits my heart with such a loved time in my personal artist side of being and being so broke as a student, paying the rent and eating popcorn & apples for supper because the rent had to be paid.😉It really was magical. Get out to the Luminary Loppet tonight and take in the beauty of this lake and all of the beautiful people you’ll meet tonight all there for the same reason. Taking it all in. #dontrush #loppetfoundation #luminary #allartistswelcome #lightthesky #getoutandgather #togo @heathers_pies

Well, “Oh Hello” @getknitevents and Thank you from Heather @heathers_pies When I tried to start my very own Pie Business back in the 80’s-yep, I’m older than half of you. 😉We were expecting Ryan and going into labor at 7 months with him being born deathly ill (we almost lost him at 5 days.) and the intense mothering. So, Taking care of him, and all the little intense stresses of being a super woman at 24 . Along comes another babe, full of all fireworks that the earth could not contain made the health problems of Ryan so much easier to take. Then at Age 5 Ryan became intensely sick overnight and the diagnosis was a Brain Tumor and the child would die in 24 hours if he was not operated on. Ok, God. He’s in your hands and guide Dr. Nagib etc...kind of moment for us. Pretty intense time. Friends, your priorities change quickly in circumstances beyond your control and tending to healing your little one. Well, a little pie shop dream gets shoved away for a long time because it has to. Two little “Someone’s” need you. Two precious lives that took my breath away everyday because I knew from a personal history of pain and an incredible fear of losing so much and at such a young mommy age. Too much. I knew there was no way I could be the best mommy ever and run a Pie Business. I was wearing out as was. Fast it forward 25 years and @heathers_pies did it! Yes, it may take so much longer than what you had hoped for and had kind of given up on And then one day your butter fairy comes over with 40lbs.of Irish Butter🍀 @kerrygoldusa and says; just another year will pass if you don’t go ahead and do it. I’d for so long taken care of others, that I forgot about my so deep of a dream pie business to share with the world. I think of my friend over @pieandmightymsp and how similar our stories are. Because of a simple thing called pie. Tomorrow is the big day for the board of trustees meeting and finding out if it’s a yay or nay to have use of the most beautiful grown up church basement kitchen for heather’s pies to use. The space is crazy spacious. A church kitchen is my favorite place to be. #gratefulpie #pieple #pie #pies . . . @getknitevents #minnesotapie @heathers_pies

National Pie Day MN!! What a day, or should I say night & day. I’ve been at it since 8pm. last night. Just made the best cup of @yogitea (Bamm! The European Licorice is a great fix). Apple, Apple & Apple Sweet Pear Oatmeal Crumble seemed to be the favorites today. But, Strawberry Rhubarb was definitely a close 2nd.💯💯 followed by my Peach. Tomorrow is lining up to be another busy piemaking day. I’m a pie dough making machine in the kitchen. 😉👍 Auto pilot kicks in from all my years working in unique places with talented folks who were always on top of their game in the Chef World. You can learn a lot if you keep your mouth quiet and watch the pros do their thing. You really learn so much this way. 🥧💯🥧💯🥧💯 Back to work my friends after a quick nap.
