ABC Pies - Eat Local

We'd like to introduce your sweet tooth to the taste of ABC Pies. ABC Pies is a local food company that originated right here in Raleigh, NC by founder Pamela Runyon. Her inspiration was her son who served our country overseas. The baking was a copying mechanism and before she realized it, she had a house full of pies! She began selling her pies at local stores and markets and FYC is a proud distributor of her delicious sweets!

She is known for her scrumptious apple pies, but it's hard to turn away other dessert varieties such as red velvet cake, cake pops or coconut cake. The taste is undeniably homemade, southern goodness! Pamela uses all natural ingredients in her creations in addition to offering options for those who may be gluten intolerant.

As the leaves slowly trickle off the trees and mornings get a little more crisp, it's clear that Fall is making headway. What more perfect time to indulge in a pumpkin cheesecake than as we watch temperatures drop? Not only are these great to satisfy your sweet tooth, but make great gifts or easy contributions to a party! We promise you won't be disappointed and are sure to find each baked good to be slightly more tantalizing than the last! Stop by FYC today to view our selection of these gourmet treats!
