Sweet Bites and Stories with Mary DiSomma at Cut It Out Scrapbook Supplies
My new pie cookbook is finally here—and 100% of the proceeds go to charity, as always. Come join me for a fun evening where I’ll show you how to make my favorite lemon meringue pie, and you can even get your new pie cookbook signed! We’ll be at Cut It Out Scrapbook Supplies in Crystal Lake, and yep—you’ll get to taste the fresh meringue we whip up together!
When: Tuesday, October 22, 2024, at 6:00 PM
Where: Cut It Out Scrapbook Supplies, 19 Crystal Lake Plaza, Crystal Lake, IL 60014
What's Included
I’ll kick things off with a talk about my love of baking and why pie-making has become such a big part of my life. You’ll get to see a demo of my Easy No-Bake Brown Sugar & Lemon Meringue Pie Bites in Phyllo Cups recipe—and then we’ll dig in for a tasting! Attendees will have the opportunity to purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win a gorgeous gift basket. Everyone will take home a mini recipe book containing two of my best meringue recipes, perfect for holiday baking. And of course, I’ll be signing copies of my new book, My Life in Pies: Sweet and Savory Recipes Inspired by Family & Friends! You’ll definitely be going home with something special!
Win a gorgeous gift basket full of designer baking goodies.
I’ve put together an amazing gift basket for one lucky winner! It includes a signed copy of my new pie cookbook, my entire designer kitchen collection (beautiful ceramic measuring cups and spoons, embroidered linens, an apron you’ll want to wear all the time, gorgeous tea towels, and an oven mitt/pot holder set). Plus, a bottle of my cognac barrel-aged vanilla extract—you’ll love it! If you don’t win the raffle, don’t worry—you’ll still get 25% off any vanilla you take home from the event!
Raffle tickets are $5 each or 6 for $25. You can buy them up to 2 weeks before the event at Cut It Out Scrapbook Supplies, and you don’t need to be present to win! Best of all, 100% of the raffle and event proceeds go to support local children’s charities.
