There’s a new shop in town, and it’s as sweet as pie. Buttermilk Sky Pie Shop in Flower Mound opened its doors this fall – just in time for the Thanksgiving rush.
Longtime Flower Mound resident Amy Doyle opened the shop after tasting the company’s pie at a baby shower and falling in love.
“Someone brought pies from the Colleyville location, and I had never heard of the company. I fell in love after one bite,” Amy says. “I have always been a fanatic about key lime pie and found it was almost impossible to find one as good as the original in Key West, Fla. Once I tasted it, I began researching the company and found out that it was starting to grow in the DFW community.
“The franchise started in Tennessee by a husband and wife who used the recipes from their grandparents. I met them, trained in Tennessee, and I loved everything about the company. I loved the family feel to their business and their values, and it was important to have that in my own company,” she says.
Amy grew up wanting to be a private event chef. “I love to cook for my family and others and enjoy being able to serve others by making a meal for them. It’s always been important to me to have meals together, and it’s some of my most precious time with friends and family. I have actually never been much of a pastry chef at all, which makes owning a pie shop even more of a shock for my friends and family since my passion has always been in fitness and nutrition,” she says.
Now her life revolves around pie. Amy says Buttermilk Sky pies come in a variety of sizes and flavors – including pecan, I40, southern custard, chewy chocolate chip and key lime.
“We will also have seasonal pies like pumpkin, blueberry, strawberry, caramel turtle and many others,” Amy says. “We offer a nine-inch pie, which is a regular size pie that most people are used to eating. We also offer individual four-inch pies and will eventually include one-inch pies in packs of 12, once our full menu is rolled out.”
Amy invites the community to visit Buttermilk Sky Pie Shop and enjoy a sweet treat this holiday season.
“I think it’s important to teach people that all food can be used by our bodies in moderation. So it’s important to enjoy things, and life is just too short to not have a dessert!”
