This will be a “Pie Design” Class…. Award-winning pie baker, Leslee Nuttelman, will demonstrate a wide variety of pie crust designs using cookie cutters and common kitchen utensils to bring an artists’ touch to any pie, bringing it from the ordinary to the spectacular.  We’ll be making three new holiday pies that nod to tradition, but combine unexpected twist of new flavors.

Cranberry Lime Pie The spirit of key lime in the guise of a luscious cranberry curd.  The contract between the gingersnap press-in crust and the tart filling is pure genius, topped with sugared cranberries.

Bruleed Bourbon-Maple Pumpkin Pie This culinary mash-up of crème brulee and pumpkin pie, with a hint of bourbon and maple is both surprising and delicious.  

Brown-Butter Pecan Pie with Rum and Espresso  Brown butter brings out nuttiness of the pecans, while the bite of rum and slight bitterness of espresso balance out the sweetness.
