Mini Holiday Bakers

Whip up a Batch of Treats with the Personal Pie Factory

— November 27, 2011 — Lifestyle
If the holidays involve a small group of people this year, then why not whip up delicious mini pastries with the Personal Pie Factory instead of stressing over one large piece of pie?

The Personal Pie Factory is kind of like the George Foreman grill for pastries. It’s a miniature cooker that’s easily portable and can make up to four pastries at once. All the user has to do is supply the dough, the fillings and it’ll work its magic. The best part is that because the pies are so small, it will only take ten minutes to whip up a batch of four.

Forget making a gigantic pie and make life easier with the Personal Pie Factory.
