Should I thaw the pie/scone before baking?For the best results do not allow your frozen pie or scone to thaw before baking.

My pie is runny after I cooked it, what did I do wrong?"Pies need to cool for a few hours after they come out of the oven to allow the filling to set up. Let them sit on a wire cooling rack before cutting them.

Do you use canned fruit fillings?We always use fresh apples. Our berries & peaches have been individually quick frozen to retain their shape and fresh from the field taste.

“Julie’s scones are hands-down the best I’ve ever had. They are like fluffy little clouds you get to eat. And best of all, no thawing and you can cook as many or as few as you’d like!”

It doesn't get much sweeter than Julie! She's a fabulous lady who clearly knows her way around a kitchen. Her pastries are among the best I've ever had, my customers ask for her sweet treats by name, and I would argue she makes the best crust in the Gorge. We are honored to serve Sweet things by Julie at Brenna's Mosier Market.
