Western Pies

One thing I’ve noticed is that the pastries in Taiwan are beautiful, but tasteless. So, my boyfriend and I started a small business making homemade pies. Right now we offer pumpkin, blueberry, cherry, and french apple, but we hope to expand soon. All pies are made-to-order and we have two pick-up locations in Taipei.

So, if you’re looking for delicious pies, look no further! Our web site is:

We also take orders over the phone in Chinese if you want to drop a hint to your local friends or significant other. =)

Sounds great! Two questions - how big are your pies? Your prices aren’t cheap, but if the large pies are substantial, than that makes a big difference. Second question - are they super sweet like Costco pies? I like pies where you can taste the fruit and not go into diabetic shock after a mouthful, so I hope they’re not too sweet.

Our pies are 7" in diameter (serves 8) and are very fruity. They’re sweet, and in my culinary opinion not too sweet, but since all pies are made-to-order, we can adjust the amount of sugar we add to suit your tastebuds.

Hey, wish you luck with your venture! My friends here love the Kahlua cakes, cheesecakes, and tiramisu I make, but I do get that “too sweet” comment from some folks, even though I make the cheesecake with less sugar than the recipe calls for. Too bad the ingredients for just about any tasty baked item cost so much. I probably couldn’t talk anyone into paying the price I’d have to charge for my stuff!

StarrStruck, are you still making pies to order? We had a poster asking about where to get pumpkin pies, so I thought I’d ask, being the WCIF guy and all that. :stuck_out_tongue:

We’re actually leaving the country for good early on Thursday, but we do have enough ingredients left to make two pumpkin, one blueberry, and one cherry pie. If someone’s looking for a pumpkin pie, our recipe is delicious, but the pie must be ordered right away since we’re giving our oven to a friend Wednesday night.

For expediency, my phone number is 0916-474-167.

Best of luck to you and yours, StarrStruck. I won’t be too far behind you–9 more months to go.
