party pies!
DON’T TELL CAKE WE SAID SO…
BUT WE THINK PIE IS THE BEST CELEBRATION DESSERT ;)
WHETHER YOU’RE PLANNING A WEDDING, A BIRTHDAY PARTY, A HOLIDAY GATHERING, OR A BIG SUMMER BBQ, LET MAGPIES PROVIDE DESSERT!
A FEW THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN PLANNING ON PIES FOR A LARGE PARTY…
-
# OF GUESTS
For large gatherings, budget about $6 per guest/per slice. MAGPIES provides custom pies in two formats:
9” Round Pies: $36/pie; each pie serves 6
Slab Pies: $140/pie, baked in sheet trays, each pie serves 24
Quarts of Local Whipped Cream: $11/Quart, each quart serves 10
For groups of 30-50: 1 Flavor Selection
For groups of 50-100: 2 Flavor Selections
For groups of 100+: 3 Flavor Selections
(An Example: For a group of 100, you might order 2 Slab Pies of one flavor, 1 Slab Pie of a second flavor, and 1 Slab Pie of a third flavor. Or 6 Round Pies each of three different flavors…..)
*If you are a small group but would like more than your allotted number of flavors, there is a $50 flat fee for each additional flavor.
**We recommend ordering a few extra servings for those who want to go back for seconds or try another flavor!

FLAVOR SELECTION
We offer our most popular pie flavors for large groups. We know it can be hard to choose…..so we’ve broken them down into 3 categories to help you think while you salivate:)
FRUIT PIES:
These pies will vary depending on the time of year of your event—nothing tastes better than a seasonal, ripe, locally sourced fruit pie! Can be topped with BROWN BUTTER CRUMBLE, FULL TOP CRUST, or LATTICE (traditional woven top crust). A few examples by month:
Late May-June: Gingery Rhubarb, Strawberry Rhubarb, Strawberry w/Meyer Lemon
July: Blueberry-Meyer Lemon, Sour Cherry, Gingery Mixed Berry
August-Early Sept: Almond-Apricot, Plum-Cardamom, Peach w/Honey + Lime
Sept-Dec: Caramel Apple, Apple-Cranberry, Pear w/Maple + Bourbon
CITRUS PIES:
Meyer Lemon Custard Pie
Key Lime Pie
SWEET N’ CREAMY PIES:
Millionaire Tart (salted shortbread crust, caramel, dark chocolate, and flaky salt)
Salted Maple Custard Pie
Caramel-Coconut Custard Pie
Derby Pie (pecan pie w/chocolate + bourbon)
Mexican Chocolate Chess Pie

DELIVERY & SERVICE FEES
If you’re looking for a dinner caterer for your Catskills event, look no further than Chef Deanna. Scrumptious, seasonal, beautiful, and she is kind to boot. She and I work together often, and she is able to bring pies with her when she cooks on-site.
If you’re not using Chef Deanna for your event, you are welcome to pick your pies up at Mapgies in Andes, NY the day of your event. If you’d prefer delivery, there is a fee of $50 for any venue within a 15-mile radius of Andes, NY. (Fee is larger outside said range.)
We are happy to slice pies prior to delivery at no charge. (Please note we do not provide plates, forks, or serving utensils.)

TIMING
It is best to start the ordering process for a large party as soon as possible. Guest count and flavors must be solidified no later than 1 month prior to your event. There is a 20% non-refundable deposit due 2 weeks prior to the event (payable by credit card, check, or cash).
(Magpies is a very small business—pretty much a one-gal operation! While we will do our best to accommodate your requests, availability to do so will favor early requests, and will be more challenging around holidays.)
To start the conversation, feel free to contact me by clicking the button below. In your email, please include the date of your event, approximate number of guests, flavor and pie shape selection. Can’t wait to hear from you—let’s throw a pie party!
