Pie-Project
05.05.14
We’re huge fans of Pie-Not in Costa Mesa, the gourmet Australian meat and vegetarian pies and pastries shop that also serves our favorite organic Bun Coffee from Australia. And, although we’re not always up for promoting Kickstarter campaigns (there are just so many), this is a worthy one, especially if you know and love Pie-Not.
They are baking up a plan to expand its savory treats and delicious desserts by offering bake-at-home pies and mini-pie catering. Kickstarter will help Pie-Not reach their goal of raising $50,000 to create the frozen bake-at-home program for pies, supplies for catering the “little guys” mini pies, and to double the size of the cold room in the kitchen of the 1,000-square-foot bakery. They must reach their goal of at least $50,00 by Tuesday, June 10 at 5 p.m. to be funded.

For more information on the Pie-Not Kickstarter campaign and to see how you can help Pie-Not reach their goals, visit here, or call 949.650.PIES, or visit the Aussie bakery located at 270 17th Street, Suite 17, Costa Mesa.
