The Amazing CoG Bake Off

On a recent November evening, members of the CoG gathered in the heart of Copenhagen for a marathon of pie baking, pie eating, and lots of fun.

Upon arrival at the Pie Company, the group was met by Erin Chapman, one of the company’s co-founders, who gave all a warm and cheerful welcome. After a brief introduction to explain the basics of the pie-baking course, the group was then divided into two teams. One team was put in charge of prepping the apples for the filling while the other went downstairs to the shop’s kitchen to make the dough. After the successful and enthusiastic completion of these tasks, the two groups switched places, so everyone could have a hand in the different stages of pie-making: rolling out the dough, assembling the pie, and weaving a perfect crust.

Under Erin’s attentive guidance, the entire team—from first-time bakers to more seasoned ones—managed to make a perfect batch of pies. While the CoG’s pies were baking in the oven, the group reassembled in the dining room to enjoy a delicious dinner of savoury pies, followed by dessert featuring a variety of sweet pies. By the end of the evening, each person went home with a full stomach and some seriously tasty freshly baked cinnamon apple pie.
