All About Pies!

Folks around Regina know Laurie Kitsch as "The Cookie Lady".  Googling her name I found this description of Laurie " The Cookie Lady is well known for her brightly iced cookies, but that isn't all she can do.

Our thoughts and prayers go to each and everyone of you as we find ourselves living with the uncertainty that Covid 19 brings to our homes, families, community, country and the world. Many of our customers operate small family run bakeries, shops and cafes and we think of them as they seek to stay afloat during this time.  Consider shopping from some of these local businesses as many are offering delivery, pickup, or even drive through options for their bakery products.
