Celebrating the Holidays that Count, National Cookie and Pie Days!
Each year on December 1, dessert lovers across the United States enjoy a slice of their favorite on National Pie Day. Not to be confused with National Pi Day (that takes place on March 14), National Pie naturally takes place during the holiday season when millions of people consume one of the world’s most popular desserts, both sweet and savory. But the celebration doesn’t end there because National Cookie Day is just a few days later, on December 14th.
Need a pie for your holiday gathering or just looking to treat yourself with a delicious cookie? We’ve got just the bakers for you.
