This Small Town Mississippi Bakery Serves Up Some Of The Best Pie In America

It’s easy as pie…to satisfy your pie craving at Sugaree’s Bakery! The small town bakeshop serves up a slew of treats, including some of the best pie in America. And while the pie alone warrants a visit, it’s not the only award-winning treat you’ll find at the charming sweet shop. Take a look:

Despite its location in the small town of New Albany, Sugaree’s has grown into one of America’s favorite sweet shops, shipping its treats across the country.

Gaining nationwide recognition is an impressive feat for any bakery, but it’s even more impressive when said bakery is tucked away in a small town.

Growing incredibly since its establishment in 1997, Sugaree’s started off as a home-based baking business. Today, it’s a nearly $1 million a year business with a charming storefront.

Over the years, it's become most known for its layer cakes, which are available in an assortment of flavors, including caramel, strawberry, and rainbow.

The layer cakes, just like everything else at Sugaree’s, are made from scratch, using time-tested Southern recipes.

And while the layer cakes have been featured in several publications, including HuffPost, it’s the chocolate meringue pie that Food Network ranked among America’s best.

But that wasn’t the pie’s only time in the spotlight. Southern Living also recognized the chocolate meringue pie – and that’s in addition to Taste of the South and several other publications.

Worthy of the praise, it’s a true culinary masterpiece.

It's huge, too. The chocolaty creation weighs a whopping five pounds!

The award-winning pie starts off with a one-pound crust, which is made entirely by hand.

Next, three pounds of filling are poured into the crust...

...before it's topped off with a pound of meringue.

If the 9" pie is too much for you to handle, don’t worry. The bakery offers a smaller, 4" version.

Can’t wait to try Sugaree's famous pie? Remember, it's available on Fridays and holidays only.
