“My husband’s jaw dropped when he saw the pie I baked… he couldn’t believe a gal who’s never in the kitchen could create a bakery-worthy masterpiece.”
—Carolyn S.
“The best thing to shove your pie hole with.”
—@oh_my_ganache_bakery
WELL, HELLO THERE!
I'M CANDACE,
You may know me from my Netflix Show Sugar Rush or you've visited Sprinkles for a sweet treat.
If so, you’re probably thinking, why did the 'Cupcake Queen' create a pie course?
GOOD QUESTION.
Cake was always something that came easily to me: I loved to bake it. I loved to eat it.
My relationship with cake is straightforward.
BUT FOR THE LONGEST TIME, I NEVER FELT COMFORTABLE WITH DOUGH—THE FOUNDATION OF PIE
Suffice it to say my pie journey has had its share of ups and downs.
BACK IN THE DAY, I MADE ALL THE PIE MISTAKES.
I truly mean…all of the mistakes…
Soggy bottoms,
Crunchy apples - mushy apples,
Cracked custards,
Burned crimps
Filling that didn’t set...
It was practice and perseverance, my friends. I’m happy to say that I’ve come a long way from where I started. And that’s why teaching you, really teaching you about the process of pie is so important to me.
BETWEEN MAKING, CHILLING AND ROLLING THE CRUST,
Prepping the filling, and then baking the pie and letting it cool before you finally sample a slice... the pie process requires patience, a gentle hand, and a whole lotta love! You have to be committed because the rewards are so sweet and ful•filling.
And despite massive piexiety and failed attempts at crust, I know it’s possible to learn how to bake an AMAZING pie that you’ll be proud to present when you have the right guide! That's me!
So, are you ready to join me inside The Pie Pop-Up?
LET'S MAKE SOME PIE!
BY THE END OF THIS COURSE YOU'LL…
- Be able to create your own variations of my Signature Pies - From swapping out for gluten free to decorating with a flawless lattice and double crust, you'll always have the valuable basics and key tips and tricks to play with your pie recipes
- Know the science of flour, fat, and liquids so you can become the master-experimenter of your kitchen (without any store-bought cheats because you accidentally added too much water)

Is there a special baker in your life who would enjoy the Pie Pop-Up?
YES, PLEASE
“Candace’s pumpkin pie recipe is TO DIE FOR! During these times when I can't see many loved ones in person, I plan to unite us through pie deliveries. I’m already baking up a storm! ”
—Diana R.
“The Pie Pop Up workshop inspired me to study to become a Pastry Chef! It's been almost a month since classes started and I am loving ever moment of it!”
—Cristy G.
YOU MAY BE THINKING, CANDACE…
“I don’t have the time for all of this, I’m just going to...”
“BEELINE TO THE FROZEN SECTION AND PICK UP A PIE FROM THE STORE.”
There’s nothing more rewarding than baking a homemade dessert for your family. Pie is an expression of love: of process, sharing, and building a legacy. And whether you’re making memories during the creative process or the feasting process, make those memories. If there’s anything I’ve learned this year it’s the beauty in our everyday moments and with who and how we spend them.
“I'M NO MASTER BAKING CHEF, THERE IS NO WAY I CAN BAKE ALL OF THIS.”
Can I call you Cinderella? Because you’re the perfect fit! This course is made for beginners. Bakers of all skill levels are welcomed, but I’ve intentionally simplified and systemized the pie making process for beginners’ success.
And, remember The Perfectly Imperfect Pie Pledge? Pie is about embracing the imperfections and finding the beauty in those imperfect details. Rustic is the name of the game. Think personality and character; you’re creating your very own piece of art. And honestly...I can’t wait to share with you some of my baking fails! We can all laugh together.
“AREN'T THERE LIKE A MILLION FREE RESOURCES ONLINE?”
That’s exactly the problem. There’s TOO much online. How do you know which resources are reliable? How many do you need to try out before finding the right one? It’s a jungle out there. I’ve simplified everything you need into just 5 Modules for you. No more reading through copious amounts of materials and sorting through fluff...everything in this course was intentionally designed for ease and simplicity. Trust me, you have everything you need.
“WHY CAN'T I JUST USE A COOKBOOK?”
There’s a lot of “how” and “what” questions that come up when you’re learning about pie, it takes experimentation - trial and error. That’s why I spent so much time filming video content for you - so you can see the ingredients, the techniques, and the processes - in action. And while recipe books are wonderful tools, they can’t hold a conversation. Asking questions is the single most effective way to learn. And that’s why I have a more comprehensive, robust option for you. I want you to have a place and a community to come to - a place to speak freely about your pie progress! And even, ask me questions. If you’re someone who wants more individualized attention, that option is perfect for you. And? You’ll have lifetime access to this Pie Pop-Up, so if you ever get stuck, you can always go back and review - on your own time.
“I'VE MADE PIE... AND I STILL HAVEN'T RECOVERED FROM THE EXPERIENCE.”
What happened? Soggy bottom? Did your pie have a generally sad disposition? Pale? Every year at Thanksgiving, the prospect of making pie strikes fear in the hearts of even the most skilled bakers. An emotion I like to call “pie anxiety” or PIEXIETY for my pun lovers. And on a scale of 1-10, I’ve most definitely hit an 11 before. The right mindset is so important to have going into the process. But if you study the process and learn to trust it and yourself, you can get rid of your PIEXIETY for good, too.
