Tis the season to ... bake pies.

We wanna say a big THANK YOU for all of you who ordered our pies, tried our pies for the first time and definitely those who ordered and loved our pies again (and again)! Also for all the compliments, comments, feedback, affirmation and encouragement! These mean more than what we fetch (monetary), honestly!

We will be taking all your positive and negative feedback seriously... and do whatever amendments and improvement we can to make Ally's BakeHouse pies yummier!

Here are some photos to share with you :)

Some Pie Photos to entice you!


This is the overall view of the pie we've been selling.
What can be seen here is the top layer, nicely browned.


Close up shot of the top of the pie! Can you see the
"shiny" bits of cheese oozing out? >Slurp<

A close-up shot of "Chicken in White Wine".
This is the portion under the layer of creamy
potatoes.



And this, would be the close-up shot of our
"Beef in Tangy Tomatoes". Also the portion under
the layer of potatoes. AKA my kids' favourite! :)

Orders for the end of the year


Most of you would know that Alan and I sell our Shepherd's Pies on a freelance basis.

This year, we decided to give it a name! Our virtual baking business is "
Ally's Bakehouse". Nope, no logo, no branding, no tags... yet. :P But we're working on it!!!

We don't actually do any active hardselling or publicising. And that's because we are only able to accomodate orders on weekends and public holidays. There has been quite a bit of enquiries from customers who wanna order our pies on normal working days. We feel really bad to have to reject, and anyone with any business-brain would know that you really shouldn't reject a customer, cos the chances of them coming back the next time is next to naught.

But we don't really have a choice... as much as we enjoy baking the pies and hearing wonderful reviews like how the
sheppys are wiped out in 15 minutes, etc... :) Cos we still hold fulltime jobs and have two kids! But now, I'm gonna try this form of ordering for you, if you're interested to try our pies.
