The Pie Guides are in My Hands!
about 7 years ago – Sun, Apr 30, 2017 at 06:22:09 PM

Howdy gang - the Pie Guides are now in my hands and looking great! 

 

You may have noticed that they are now clear... After extensive testing with people unfamiliar with either knife-wielding or dough handling, I realized that people were having trouble gauging how much clearance they had when cutting pieces out of scraps. They also had trouble figuring out where to place the stencil when cutting out holes on already placed pie tops (ie. making a unicorn-shaped steam vent.) So! I ordered a new batch of PETG food safe plastic and did a few more experiments with thickness to get it just right for you. And now it *is* just right and we're ready to ship! 

Almost... :) I've been told by the label printer that the stickers for the packages will be ready to pick up May 9th. Which means I wont be able to send the box to BackerKit (who is doing our fulfilment) until shortly after that date. But I will keep you updated and let you know the moment everything is off! In the meantime, you'll have until May 9th to update your address on Backerkit if you've moved.

If you are looking for something to do in the meantime, why not check out some of my new tutorial videos over on my YouTube channel?

Let me know if you have any questions, and have an awesome Sunday!

Cheers,

Happy Pi Day!

Happy Pi Day everyone! 

Your Pie Guides are on track to ship at the end of April, and in celebration of Pi Day today, I've whipped up a little video featuring one of them (the "Pi Mandala") in action:

I also have another special announcement!

I’m so excited to at last get to share with you the launch of my very first Pies Are Awesome cookbook: “Pie-Modding”

Thanks to your generosity, we maxed out all the stretch goals, and you may recall that one of them was a Pies Are Awesome cookbook. You will all be getting an early link to a free sample chapter before the launch of the book on June 5th - until then you can pre-order the book on Amazon, or check out piemodding.com for more info on what's inside.

Thank you once again for your continued support and awesome pie-oneering spirit! I hope you all have a wonderful 3/14... 

Until the next update!

Hey gang! Just a reminder that you have under February 28th to select your Pie Guide designs and input your shipping address. Don't miss out on getting your rewards!

Surveys have been sent!
over 7 years ago – Tue, Jan 31, 2017 at 10:20:54 PM

The backerkit surveys have just gone out and you should be receiving your link shortly... You'll have a little over two weeks to make your selections and input the address you want your goodies sent to before it locks in.

If anything is henky, please don't hesitate to contact me, or even better, leave a comment here and I'll do my best to deal with it asap. This is my first Kickstarter so apologies in advance as I navigate the fulfillment learning curve :)

Cheers and happy Tuesday!

BackerKit Survey is in review now - you'll have the link by the end of week
over 7 years ago – Mon, Jan 30, 2017 at 07:37:21 PM

Howdy! I finished setting up all the data in BackerKit and they will be sending out the surveys to you shortly (there is a brief "review" period where they ensure I didn't mess anything up :)

Once you get the link to the survey you'll be prompted to make your Pie Guide/Powder Guide selections, input the address you'd like them mailed to, and all that good stuff. 

As requested, I have structured it so that you can choose any Pie Guide designs, in any multiples you want. If you've made a pledge but selected "no reward", or added a bit extra onto your pledge out of the goodness of your heart, just select the "Tip Jar" option for your balance at checkout.

If you have any questions about anything, don't hesitate to ask! It's probably best if you post here since other people may have the same question and can benefit from your answer. 

Can't wait to get the ball rolling! In the meantime while you wait, you may want to consider subscribing to my shiny new youtube channel:  https://www.youtube.com/c/PiesAreAwesome I post a new pie video tutorial here for you every week!

Have a lovely Monday, and we'll chat more soon...
