I’m thinking maybe pies would be fun to do for Faith and Jeff’s wedding (along with cupcakes). Faith is from Wisconsin so I’m thinking one pie could be an apple pie with a Wisconsin cheddar cheese crust.. wouldn’t that be kinda fun? Or at least I could play around with that idea. But here are questions that I have:

-Are pies more cost efficient than cake? I read that somewhere but I’m thinking that it’s wrong. Several pounds of flour is significantly cheaper than several pounds of apples (or pears or whatever). But maybe the estimate I read what considering the cost of a catered cake, so yes, it would be waaay cheaper.

-Can pies be done ahead of time (as in, a few weeks leading up to the wedding and then freezing them until ready to cook)? Also, storage of pies. Duh.

-Pies typically serve 8-10. I’ve done that math on how many pies this requires, and that comes out to be a lot of pies. Hence, the question above about prep work that could be done ahead of time.

-Someone had a fabulous idea that I could use the kitchen at the church building where I work to bake everything. It is an industrial kitchen where I would have access to more/better things than my own kitchen.

Oh.

Ok.

I just found this article which answers quite a few of my questions (if any of you need that as a resource as well).

But I would still like to know what any of you think if you have any experience/thoughts/whatever….
