Of course there would be a huge demand for fresh-baked Sweetie Pies on Easter Weekend… Not!
Co-owner of Sweetie Pies in Fish Creek, Dave Lea, will face the consequences of his excessive optimism as he peered out the door at the sunny Easter weather this Sunday. Two rows of lovely pies sat forlorn for most of the day, hoping to see hoards of eager admirers – all in vain.
So come Monday, Lea plans to throw in the sponge and offer deep discounts on all the baked pies in the shop.
“A guy can only eat so many of his own pies in a day, even if they do taste just like grandmas!!,” he was overheard muttering to himself as he turned out the lights and locked the doors.
Sweetie Pies is part of the Settlement Shops located right next to Fish Creek’s popular Settlement Courtyard Inn – open seven days a week, 9 to 5.
