Heather Daymond, Shut Ur Pie Hole
A sassy single mother of two transformed her love of pie into a business with an equally sassy name. While standard pie sizes are available and equally delicious, Shut Ur Pie Hole specializes in individual pies in little mason jars in a variety of flavours. The concept came to Heather when she was shopping for baking supplies one afternoon. She noticed decorative mason jars and wondered if she could use them instead of pie plates.
