"It’s not Christmas without some holiday pie. Emporium has a lot of them on offer, naturally. The seasonal pies include theFather Christmas, which is a white chocolate peppermint cream pie in a dark chocolate cookie crust; the Merry Berry, which lands somewhere between a sugar cookie and a cranberry muffin; the Hot Cake: a buttermilk pie layered with house-made salted maple caramel; and the Snowball, a coconut custard topped with crunchy toasted coconut. There are also the usuals, including the Drunken Nut and Dapper Apple. Order online by December 14 to ship. Local delivery is also available but spaces are limited." - Courtney E. Smith
