Key Lime Pie, sponsored by Caitlin Leffel

Caitlin asked me to bake a Key Lime Pie, as her mother, who battled esophageal cancer, considered this to be her favorite pie. Mom, who was an enormous help putting together this party, wanted to do some baking, and Key Lime Pie is in her repertoire, so I let her take this on. The pie upstaged the other ten that I baked. Well done, Mom.

Shaker (Meyer) Lemon Pie

I had seen a recipe for Shaker Lemon Pie on America's Test Kitchen (or perhaps Cooks Country), and then another recipe using Meyer lemons. And then FreshDirect had Meyer lemons on sale, which I took as a sign.

Razzle Dazzle Pie, sponsored by Tiffany Barfield

After several attempts to make a blackberry-centered pie for Tiffany, I asked her if there was a particular pie she had in mind. "I really like the one my mom gets at the store called Razzle Dazzle Pie." A quick Google search later, I found a recipe, which was easy to make and was exactly what was called for.

2011: A Pie-riffic Success

Last year's Pies Against Cancer Party was great, but this year's version was even better. More pies, more money raised to fight cancer, and more prosecco consumed. Less ice cream and fewer guests, but still, a success. Enjoy the pictures.
