What prompts an engineer to start a pie company?

It’s a classic story of someone following their passion.

It all started with a much-needed vacation. Back in 2016, Eric and Anne took a trip abroad and it was there that they discovered that Anne’s favorite flower was Eric’s favorite fruit- the passion flower and passion fruit.

Eric had always wondered why there wasn’t a passion fruit pie, so when they returned, he decided to experiment with his own recipe. He successfully created a passion fruit pie, and his family loved it. He knew there was potential there, but couldn’t put his finger on exactly what that was.

Months past and Eric was becoming increasingly tired of corporate America. After leaving church one Sunday, the idea hit him. He thought, “What if we create single-serve pies and let the customer choose what they want? They can experiment and discover new flavorful combinations!”

It was the birth of a family-owned and operated pie company. 

Today, passion fruit is one of their signature pies. Try one or create your own signature pie at Doodle Pies!
