For the love of baking
Passion. Purpose.
And the Perfect Crust.
“Everything I bake continues a tradition begun by generations past, and each creation celebrates a connection to the people, places and times that shape us all.
I make my mother’s crust, and every bite takes me back to her table. But the love she put into her recipes and techniques wasn’t unique to her. The care every parent takes when baking for their family, the love that comes through in every bite – that’s what touches the soul.
Baking creates an opportunity for connection by honoring the past, making memories for the future, and – more than anything else – bringing sweet delight to the moment.”
— Sara
My wonderful family
My husband has been, and continues to be a huge supporter of Sara’s Tipsy Pies. Without his support, I would never be able to devote my time to baking my pies. I also have five truly amazing children who bring an indescribable amount of joy to my life. I want to thank them all, as their love and support carry me.
Madi inspires us
On February 18, 2003, my husband Chris and I received our second of five bundles of joy (yes, five!). Madi arrived on a snowy February afternoon. She was two weeks early and to our total surprise, Madi was born with Down syndrome.
Everyone said it would be hard, and no doubt, there are extra worries and concerns with raising a child with special needs. But more than anything, having a child with down syndrome has been a joy, because having children is a joy. Madi’s diagnosis provided me with new perspectives, ways to love, and a deeper appreciation for the little things.
I am thankful for the many resources available to help parents of children with special needs; organizations like The Down Syndrome Association of Minnesota, Special Olympics Minnesota and Valley Friendship Club of Stillwater. Because of their support, I want to do my part to pay forward their kindness and to raise awareness of down syndrome, what it means to have a child with Down syndrome, and how people with down syndrome play a vital role in our lives and communities.

Pie with a Purpose
Every year since 2014, our Pies with a Purpose campaign has donated a portion of our proceeds to the Valley Friendship Club Stillwater.
As a parent, you realize that your love is not based on your child’s ability, but on your own ability to accept your children for who they are and how they enrich your life. Our daughter Madi is a blessing and a gift. Along with her siblings Mason, Cody, Wyatt and Averi, she makes our world a brighter, happier place to live. We’re proud to support these organizations’ efforts to make the world a more welcoming place for Madi and all people with Down Syndrome.
