✨HOCUS POCUS✨ is our October cake flavor of the month!
Layers of pitch black chocolate cake filled & frosted with orange tinted butterscotch buttercream & covered in alllll the spooky season sprinkles!
You can snag slices of this babe every Friday and Saturday during the month of September at our bakery, and all week long while supplies last at our wholesalers around the city:
🖤The Handlebar in Wicker Park
🖤Paulie Gee's in Logan Square (dine in or w/ another purchase only!)
🖤Madame Zuzus in Highland Park (weekends only, or while supplies last).
🖤Liberation Kitchen in West Town
🖤Kale My Name in Albany Park
🖤& both locations of Penelope's Vegan Taqueria in River North and Andersonville!
Aside from whole cakes & slices we also bake up plenty of assorted treats like cookies, oatmeal cream pies, and our signature cup-cakes which you can snag at our bakery every Friday & Saturday!
Treats are available first come first serve both days, and on Saturdays we also offer a same day treat pre-order so you can lock down your faves before heading over without worrying about sell-outs✨
In light of the constant ups and downs over the past few years we have pivoted to being open for walk ins just a couple of days per week only so we can spend the rest of our time focusing on fulfilling the high demand for our special order and wholesale cakes!
At this time we only offer items on a first come first serve basis on Fridays & Saturdays and operate on a pre-order only basis for the rest of the week, so please plan accordingly if you'll be stopping by!
Follow us on instagram @piepiemydarling for weekly updates! If you have any questions, please see the FAQ's tab in the main menu or email us at piepiemydarling@gmail.com—we do not accept inquiries via social media DM'S 🖤
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
What are your hours/where are you located?
Our bakery is located at 2636 W Chicago in West Town/Ukrainian Village!
Our weekday cake order pickup hours are from 12pm to 3pm Wednesday through Friday and from 11am to 3pm on Saturdays
We are only open for walk-ins on Fridays & Saturdays during our pickup hours (listed above) and on those days we have plenty of extra first come first serve treats for you to snag!
Where can I find your treats?
Whole cakes and cupcakes by the dozen can be pre-ordered in advance under the "order cakes" tab in the main menu!
We are open on Fridays and Saturdays for walk-ins and always have a variety of our signature cake-cups up for grabs, plus cake slices, cookies, rice crispy treats, and more
You can also find our cake flavor of the month by the slice (while supplies last) for delivery and pickup at Liberation Kitchen in West Town, Paulie Gees in Logan Square (dine in only), The Handlebar in Wicker Park, Kale My Name in Albany Park, and both locations of Penelope's Vegan Taqueria--one in River North and one in Andersonville, plus Madame Zuzus in Highland Park (weekends only!).
The flavor changes monthly, and you can see their menus/our instagram for the current flavor. If you're heading to either of these spots from far away, we would highly suggest calling ahead to check the stock, as our cakes do sell out sometimes! All restaurants only offer our cakes by the slice and not whole.
Can I stop by the bakery and grab first come first serve treats?
On Fridays and Saturdays you can feel free to swing by the bakery for first come first serve cake slices, cup-cakes, cookies, and more ✨ We are closed to the public all other days aside from special order cake pickups.
Are all of your cakes vegan? And do you offer anything gluten free?
Everything is 100% vegan--dairy, egg, and animal-product free! We don't offer anything gluten free at this time as it's not something we've mastered! Maybe someday in the future!! ✨
Are your treats nut free?
Many of our baked goods are baked without nuts, but please note that they are baked in the same kitchen and stored in the same fridge as our other cakes that do contain nuts. We use nut products often, so if your allergy is severe, we'd rather keep you safe and not feed you our cakes! Feel free to email us any questions in regards to nuts in specific items on our menu. If you have any allergies, you are responsible for disclosing that to us before placing your order.
Do you ship/deliver?
Nope, we can barely keep up with the demand in our own city and shipping is too big of an endeavor to take on at this time! Pickup only for the time being.
Do you accept special orders for whole cakes or cupcakes?
YES! Click the "order cakes" tab in the main menu for all the info on orders. Click on the cake flavor you’re interested in and there will be a drop down menu which allows you to choose 6”, 8”, or cupcakes by the dozen.
Note that we always require a minimum of 5 full days advance notice for whole cakes and we do not offer custom decorations at this time--cakes must be ordered off of our set menu. We do not accept inquiries via txt, facebook messenger, or Instagram DM's--email only please!
Do you make custom cakes?
We are not a custom cake bakery and instead find joy through baking up our own original designs and flavors in order to streamline the ordering process! All of our current offerings can be found under the "order cakes" tab in the main menu!
I need a cake for today/tomorrow can you have one ready?
Due to the extremely high demand and our limited staff, cake orders always require a minimum of 5 full days notice✨ We sometimes book up weeks in advance so the sooner you get your order in, the better!
How long will your cakes stay fresh if kept refrigerated?
Our uncut cakes will stay fresh and moist for 4-5 days in the fridge, or even a month in the freezer. Once the cake is cut into slices, transfer them to an air-tight container and refrigerate or freeze. If you leave them uncovered, they may dry out.
Do you make wedding cakes?
At this time we do not offer any custom decorations or tiered cakes, but if you would like to order multiple full sized cakes off of our set menu or cupcakes by the dozen, see the "order cakes" page for more info on how to order! Our team is very small and we don't feel comfortable making long term commitments with everything going on in the world currently, but if you're comfortable booking 1 month out instead of a year in advance, we got you! ✨ please note that we do not deliver, so wedding orders will need to be picked up at our bakery!
Why "pie pie" my darling when you only make cakes??
Believe it or not, when I first created pie pie my darling 9 years ago we only baked pies! I used to pop up around Chicago selling fresh baked pies in various different flavors, until one day a customer of mine convinced me to bake them a cake, and I fell head over heels with cake baking/decorating. Pies will always have a place in my heart and we still bake them from time to time, but the demand for our cakes is so high that cake has become our main focus!
Do you have a phone number?
We do not, aside from our pre-order pickup phone line! We prefer to communicate with y'all over email so we have a physical record of every communication--especially when it pertains to your special order cakes and any changes being made in regards to your pickup date/time/etc!
Do you have seating at the bakery?
We are just a grab and go spot for the time being so there is no seating, but we plan to add it back soon!
If you have any additional questions or would like to speak to the owner, please feel free to email us at piepiemydarling@gmail.com ✨
