— Magic & Art —
Nestled in the blue ridge…
Cutie Pies is just a few gorgeous minutes away from Skyline Drive,
breathtaking hikes, and the best breweries and wineries in the area.
We’re a family who’s grown together in this town, enjoying food, drink, art, music, and the beauty of Virginia’s seasons. Now we want to share our appreciation for celebration with you!
Cutie Pies is all about taking the time to enjoy the magic of the little things in life.
“Not only are the pies tasty they are beautiful. I love that you can get savory or sweet pies! A must try!”
Ode to the strawberry…
Creamy white lace petals
around prim yellow button centers
that cover the warm green field
like a thousand tiny umbrellas
Hidden under them are ...
a thousand strawberry hearts born when the
sun kissed the earth,
quietly they are all ripening and waiting to be discovered ....
“We love them! The strawberry rhubarb and the broccoli cheddar are the best. Perfect addition to our Memorial Day Weekend cookout!!
”
“Oh my goodness!!!!!!! Gluten free strawberry pie was AMAZING and their quiche was so yumny!!!!!! I need so many more!!!! Excellent job an so so YUMMY!!!!!!!”
Ode to the Blueberry…
Blueberry, perfect in its tiny roundness
It echoes the celestial spheres in miniature
Absorbing all the inky darkness of space
Then exploding with flavor
healing us with antioxidants
and memory enhancing magic...
““I’ve had only the blueberry pies so far, but they are irresistible! Can’t wait to taste the mini quiches.” ”
“We LOVE Cutie Pies! We are weekly customers now and haven’t had a pie that we didn’t enjoy! Great to have on hand for school morning breakfasts!”
Ode to the Asparagus…
Stalwart asparagus
reminds me of the
knight of wands in the Tarot,
bright and straight...
ready for adventure.
He bolts out of the earth
with his light green coat and tips
of green and light mauve,
unperturbed by the surrounding buttercups
and wild strawberries.
He stands at attention in the bright spring day,
Brother of the Lilies who will open
into bright flower...
He offers his life, full of nutrition and health.
Pear Blossom
Layer of black earth
layer of red brown earth
layer of ochre earth
upon the secret seeds
On the surface appear her gifts
as bright green leaves
white flower petals
the fullness of her fruit
we accept with gratitude
Cherry Blossom
As the first cherry tree flowers and
bursts into a confetti of white and pink
as an infinity of newborn birds break
through shells to the triumph of flight
and the perils of life
As an infinity of leaves unfurl and uncurl
into lemon-lime waves,
as the cosmic nautilus unravels
into ribbons of aubergine sorrow
and golden joy
as cutie pies mixes, whips, rolls-
delights emerge for all palates!
"The Wind in the Willows"
by Kenneth Grahame
"The mole was bewitched, entranced, fascinated.
By the side of the river he trotted as one trots, when very small,
by the side of a man who holds one spellbound by exciting stories;
and when tired at last, he sat down on the bank,
while the river still chattered on to him,
a babbling procession of the best stories in the world,
sent from the heart of the world to be told at last
to the insatiable sea"
