Customer Testimonials

"Jean Marc,

I enjoyed your pastry class last Tuesday in Shelby. I especially liked the Pumpkin Mousse Ganache Pie that we took home. I took mine to work and everyone loved it. It was a wonderfully light alternative to regular pumpkin pie. The pumpkin/chocolate combination was incredible. You'd better put that one on the menu.

I really appreciate that you, Wendy, and Frank take the time to share your expertise with us. I've always enjoyed baking. I love to try new recipes and like to tweak old ones to see if I can improve them. Your recipes require no improvement.

Even though you have shared your recipes, I will continue to make special trips to Achatz's and recommend your exceptional desserts to friends (I've even recommended them to strangers).

I look forward to future classes. Merci."

"Dear Wendy,

Last night, I attended the French Pastry demonstration at your Troy store. I had an absolutely wonderful time. In the past, I have attended cooking demonstrations in San Francisco at many fine establishments. The demonstration at the Troy store was better than any that I've attended. I learned so many helpful tips from the chef. He was both knowledgeable and entertaining! My sister and I were amazed at the wonderful "goodie bag" that we were given. I have already e-mailed a number of friends to encourage them to attend a class.

I also was impressed by the wonderful marketing program that you have organized to make your name known throughout our community, our state, and our country. As the holidays approach, I was happy to learn that I can send pies to my friends in San Francisco. Congratulations on the success of your wonderful business. I'm sure that all of my friends will appreciate knowing that your products are both healthy and delicious.

P.S. I'm planning to attend many more cooking demonstrations!"

Heather,

I'd like to thank the Achatz Handmade Pie Company for giving me the opportunity to learn French pastry and pie making techniques from such talented people who love what they do. As an avid baker, I really appreciated the chance to learn from the best. The Achatz team made sure we all had a great hands on experience full of learning, fun and good food. What a treat to feel at home in the Achatz kitchen!

Not only did I take home all the wonderful desserts we had created, I also took home new ideas, baking techniques, and an appreciation of all the work that goes into making your business such a success. I learned new recipes and baking tips in each of the seven classes I attended. It's amazing all the creative things you can do with pastry cream! You even helped us understand why some of our earlier failed attempts at baking didn't turn out as well as we had hoped.

I'm looking forward to the next class--so are my family, friends, and coworkers who get to sample my newest creations.

Nothing compares to Achatz Pies. The love that goes into them makes the difference."
