Garces Group shows off their holiday pies
Let the surprisingly complicated process of picking holiday desserts to order to save you from the complicated process of making holiday desserts begin!
Garces Group shows off their holiday pies
We love baking pies, but we know that not everyone agrees with us. And during the holiday season, packed schedules sometimes leave you without the time to handcraft that dessert you promised to bring to one gathering or another. Of course, in Philly, there are so many great bakeries making attention-grabbing holiday desserts that choosing where to order from can become its own kind of headache.
We don't really have a solution to that problem, unfortunately. We're just here to complicate the issue for you by presenting the facts. In that spirit, let's kick things off by talking about the seasonal pies on offer from the Garces clan's executive pastry chef, Jessica Mogardo.
The showiest of the bunch is the ABC pie, pictured above, where the acronym thankfully stands for apple, bacon, and caramel rather than the sense of ABC gum. But dressed-up classics like Chocolate-Pecan and Pumpkin-Gingerbread will do well for any crowd whose ideas of "tradition" don't extend to pork in their dessert—and to let our personal bias show, it's the Cherry-Cranberry-Cornmeal pie that's really caught our eye.
Any of these options can be had for $35 and a small amount of advance planning: you'll need to order by noon the day before you want to pick up the pie. (Orders can be placed either online or in-person at JG Domestic (2929 Arch St.) or Garces Trading Co. (1111 Locust St.), which also function as the pick-up locations.)
