The Tartan Pie

I literally stumbled upon “The Tartan Pie”.  Knowing a bakery was in my future, I was driving to the boonies to look at some tart presses for sale, and there I met “Scotty”.  Scotty and I got to talkin, and with both of us being sailors, had a lot of things to talk about.  Just so happened that Scotty had a bakery that he wanted to sell.  Only a few weeks later, The Tartan Pie bakery was purchased in November 2009 by myself and my partner Derek.   We are fortunate that Scotty shared his recipes with us, encouraging us to take the business to the next level.  We’re not scottish as he is, but we loved his food, his ideas and decided to keep the recipes the same and keep the name.

In researching modern techniques for marketing, I came across blogging and being naive and unfamiliar with it,  I searched further and stumbled upon WordPress and thought I’d give it a try. Although I did not get WordPress up and running in 5 minutes as it advertises, I was able to get it going in about 24 hours spread over about a week.

I like to tell stories, and on occasion people have told me that they like my stories so much that I have inspired them to move forward with an idea or to explore a new path.  With this in mind, I thought that maybe there’s a chance that there’s a larger audience out there, and that maybe my existing friends, family and customers might be interested in what I have to say.  I’m not so sure what I might say, but I’m going to try and cover food trivia, baking basics, kitchen gadgets and stories.

So here I go again, trying something new (and very exciting) and we’ll see where it goes.

Cheers and happy baking,

Theresa
