Lover of dogs.
Baker for humans.

Hi, I’m Elle.

I’m the owner of Dog Days Pie Stand, a home-based bakery operating in downtown Des Moines.

Each Dog Days delicacy is made to order completely from scratch, filled to the brim with fresh fruit or homemade creams and custards.

FAQs

How do I order a pie?

At this time, pies are available at local markets only. See our social media pages for details on upcoming events.

What about allergens and dietary restrictions?

All allergens are listed on each pie’s label.

All Dog Days pies are vegetarian, but unfortunately I can’t at this time offer vegan, dairy-free, or gluten-free options. There are lots of great Des Moines bakers who do, so give it a Google!

How big are the pies?

Each pie comes in a 9-inch pan and feeds 6-8 people. Dog pies come in a 5-inch pan and feed 1-2 lucky dogs.

How do I pay for my pie?

I accept payment via credit or debit card, Venmo, or cash.

How long will my pie stay fresh?

While all pie is best enjoyed the day you receive it, sometimes you have to save some for later. Fruit pies are typically fresh when kept covered on a counter for 4-5 days and can be frozen. Cream pies are fresh for 2-3 days kept covered in the fridge and do not hold up well when frozen.
