Description: What’s a hip baker to do with her cupcake pan now that serving those frosted nightmares is about as cool as wearing Uggs while hostessing a Sex and the City 2 movie night? Luckily, this book shows her how to use that same pan to bake the newest, most awesome dessert—mini pies. Offering step-by-step recipes along with tips, tricks, and techniques for mini pie success, this book teaches how to make flaky crusts and luscious fillings that will combine into mouth-watering petite pies.

Mmmm… I love pies.

I’ve purchased mini pie shells to fill, but hadn’t tried making my own. I thought I needed some kind of special pan for it, but now I know that’s not necessary. I can make my own mini pies using a muffin or cupcake pan!

This beautifully illustrated cookbook contains delicious recipes for pie crusts, fillings and toppings for sweet and savory pies. There are recipes for some of the usuals and some that are more unique. The instructions are clear and the photographs help you visualize the pretty little extras that make the pies look so cute.

Here are a few of the pie filling recipes that look good to me:

• Ginger Peach
• Tart Key Lime
• Aunt Jimma’s Chocolate Cream
• Dirty Chai
• Dilled Spinach Cup Quiche
• Savory Apple Chile with Cheddar Cheese Crust

Mini Pies aren’t too difficult or time consuming to prepare, but they look impressive. They can make an ordinary day special or you can serve them for guests or give them as a gift.
