Our story

The legacy ofLillie Mae.

A grandmother. A kitchen. Two cousins. And a tiny taste of home shaped into something the whole world can share.

Where it all began

A kitchen full of love.

Lillie Mae raised her family in a tiny kitchen that always smelled like cinnamon and brown sugar. She didn't need a recipe. She baked from memory and from the heart, with butter on her hands and stories on her lips.

Sundays meant pie. Holidays meant pie. Birthdays, baby showers, hard days, good days — pie. Around her table, every guest was family, and every plate said welcome home.

The cousins

Two cousins,one recipe to honor.

Years after Lillie Mae passed, her granddaughters found themselves gathered in another kitchen — laughing, crying, and rolling out dough by hand. The conversations always came back to her.

They wanted a way to share a piece of her with the world — small enough to hold, big enough to remember. The Pie Ball® was born: a poppable spin on the traditional pie she taught them to bake.
