I didn’t post much about our nomination this time because to be honest, I’ve been struggling with imposter syndrome and didn’t think it was deserved. This past year the ups and downs I’ve had with my mental health really got in the way of our growth, and led me to question whether or not I’m cut out for this. I can’t thank you all enough for continuing to believe in me and my small team of misfits, and our non-conventional ways of being✨ we may not be open to the public like a regular bakery, we may not have the biggest staff (still just a tiny team of four!), but we have true passion and love for what we do, and I’m just so touched to know that it still resonates. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart, and to my incredible team Brenda, Nikki, & Christopher—pie pie would not ever be what it is today without you, and that group photo we keep getting too busy to take NEEDS to happen tomorrow!!! 🥰

We will still be stocking The Handlebar & Upton's Breakroom with cake slices, which you can order for pickup or for delivery on their website! The current cake flavor is Funfetti!
We are not accepting any new special orders at this time due to the unpredictable nature of this pandemic. Things can change in a moments notice, and we are just taking things one day at a time. I will update this page if things change!
Sending so much love to all of you! Stay safe and stay inside!

48 hours ago I used my new shared kitchen to bake up more cakes and pies and brownies and treats than ever before and sold out at @chicagoveganmania just 15 min before closing time—feeding literally everyone who came to my table. Less than 24 hours later, I got this email. After only shy of two months settling in to my new space, I was informed that @thepilotworks is shutting down immediately, meaning myself & the hundreds of other small businesses using their kitchens have less than a week to grab all their belongings and vacate before the doors close for good. Sometimes I feel like this life is testing me...trying its hardest to push me past my limits, drain my spirit, and force me to my knees. Things happen over and over that seem impossibly timed or senseless, things that make you sit there with your jaw dropped thinking what the actual fuck. But I can tell you right now, after everything I’ve been through these past four years fighting to run this business ethically & with integrity, I’ll be DAMNED if I give up now 💕 I’m taking the next few days to move my stuff out and figure out what my next steps will be. And in the mean time, I’m sending so much love to all of you for making me feel so happy yesterday that the shock of this didn’t damage my spirit one single bit. Seeing your smiling faces and all your heartfelt posts about my treats yesterday was everything. It meant the absolute world to me ✨ I know I will find a silver lining in this. There just has to be.
