My mom and dad both grew up in Michigan. My mom used to go and pick fresh cherries, bring them home to her mom to make a fresh cherry pie. Our cherry pie is the closest to my grandmothers. Bringing back that very childhood memory to my mom is priceless. At one point in time we had lived in Lake Geneva Wisconsin in the mid 1980's. My dad was the F & B director at the Americana Resort, formally a Playboy Club back then. Now known as the Grand Geneva Resort & Spa. Once the hotel was sold it was a matter of time before we moved back to Michigan. My brother and I graduated from high school. I moved down to Charleston South Carolina to attend Johnson & Wales University (culinary & hospitality school) to study f & b, and the hospitality business. Graduated and moved back to Michigan to attend Michigan State University, where my dad also went and graduated. GO STATE!! I graduated from MSU with a BA in food industry management. I am currently with the pie shop baking, making wholesale calls and many other duties. My brother after high school, enlisted in the Marines and served 4 years active. Graduated from Ball State, and is now working for a food distributor as a senior financial analyst in southern Chicago. My mom handles the books and creates recipes that our customers love...like the chicken salad or the quiche, while dad and I run the shop. Family means a lot to us. We want to share the goodness and warmth of a chocolate chip cookie can bring people. I've seen it happen, put a smile on ones damp day. We welcome you to our home. ;) Hope to see you soon! Have a great day! |
