​Baking has always been more than a hobby for Sue-Ellen — it’s a heartfelt passion that began in her family kitchen and grew into a lifelong pursuit. Her dedication and creativity led her to compete in numerous pie and chocolate competitions across Ontario, earning multiple awards and recognition for her exceptional craftsmanship.

​

In 2012, she proudly placed first at the Mount Pleasant Harvest Fair Pie Bake-Off, triumphing over several seasoned competitors and local bakeries — a defining moment that inspired her to turn her passion into a profession and launch Sue-Ellen’s Pies.

​

Since then, Sue-Ellen has expanded her offerings beyond her signature pies to include hand-rolled truffles, assorted cookies, and custom gift boxes, all crafted with the same care and quality that made her brand a local favorite.

​

To continue refining her skills, Sue-Ellen is currently studying Baking and Pastry Arts Management at Humber College, where she’s combining professional training with years of hands-on experience.

​

In November 2022, Sue-Ellen’s Pies earned another prestigious honor — Winner of the “Perfect Pie Contest” in Warkworth, Ontario for her acclaimed Meringue-Topped Pie.

​

From humble beginnings to award-winning recognition, Sue-Ellen continues to bake with love, creativity, and community at the heart of every pie.
