The Pie Piper

The Pie Piper is Auckland's North American inspired bakery, with Kiwi flare. They specialize in dessert pies, classic cakes, gourmet donuts, cinnamon rolls and other baked treats. They have two stores in Auckland. Their flagship store is located on Auckland's iconic K'Rd, Auckland Central, or at The Eatery, East Ridge Shopping Centre, Mission Bay. They also deliver nationwide in New Zealand.

Meet - Dewi Schmidt, Senior Pastry Chef

(Dewi is pronounced - Dee-vee). Dewi is a very experienced pastry chef and has worked in world class kitchens around the world. However, since starting a family, Dewi is now trying to keep up with her daughter, Yani, age 5 (who we call the Rainbow Chef). Yani picked up her cooking skills via osmosis since both her parents are chefs. Every day they are cooking something amazing in their household. Right now, we're all wishing we were locked down with them.
