For The Love Of Pie! Sweet Elena’s Bakery and Café Annual Pie Tasting Day Saturday, November 17th

SAND CITY, CA    Sweet Elena’s Bakery and Café located at 465 D Olympia Avenue in Sand City can’t get any sweeter!  Elena has declared Saturday, November 17th Sweet Elena’s Annual Pie Tasting Day! Purchase an espresso beverage or a glass of wine, and sample the sweet flavors of Sweet Elena’s pies form 2:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. for only $5.00 per tasting. (5 small slices per tasting)

The tasting includes an assortment of Sweet Elena’s famous homemade pies.  The tasting is held the week before Thanksgiving and Elena will take orders during the pie tasting for your holiday pies.  Sure to delight the entire family, Sweet Elena’s pies are made from scratch, with love and the freshest quality ingredients.

Owner Elena, did not grow up with pies, but fell in love with them! “I like the idea of, and abundance of, fruit, lightly sweetened and enclosed in a buttery pie crust, that has sugar-only sprinkled on top,” said Elena.  “Our Pies are the best around and are very pretty. Our pie dough and all our fillings are made from scratch. The berries are grown in Watsonville, as well as our apples, which are organic.”

For Thanksgiving, one of Sweet Elena’s dear ex-team member came up with the most delicious vegetarian mince pie (Mary's Mince Meat Pie) and now it has become a tradition to make it every year using apples, pears, quinces, dried figs, currants and lots of brandy, and we leave it to marinate for a month. Trying it will reconcile you with mince pie.   In addition, we will taste our lemon tart that is truly divine as well as the classics pies pumpkin, pecan, apple, ollalieberry, strawberry rhubarb, apple crumble and more!
