Allergies, intolerances and food specifications
One of my guests has a nut allergy, are your products safe for them?
Because we use nuts in some of our recipes, as careful as we try to be, there is always a risk of cross contamination. That includes all of our products, even the ones that do not contain nuts.
Do you have any vegan options?
None of our products are vegan.
Does your pie crust have any lard?
No, our pie crusts are made 100% with butter.
What kind of gelatin do you use in your products?
Most of our products are made using agar agar, a vegan gelatin alternative. If we exceptionally use gelatin in a recipe, it will be noted in the allergen section of the product page.

Cakes
Can I order custom cakes?
We do not offer custom cakes, but we can customize to a certain degree the cakes that we make by placing flowers brought by the clients, adding a special cake topper or by adding fresh fruit. However, we will not add coloring for our buttercream or make intricate designs or patterns that are different from the standard cake decorations specific to each cake. Please send an email at info@rustiquepiekitchen.com to discuss our customization options with someone from our team.
Can I choose different flavors for each layer of the cake?
All our cake flavors are different and have conservation directions so we only use one cake flavor for each cake.
How long do your cakes and pies last?
Our pies and cakes last 2 to 3 days!
Desserts
Can I freeze your desserts?
Although we always recommend buying our desserts fresh, some of them can be frozen.
The room temperature desserts like the apple mini pies and any of our room temperature baked goods freeze well. To thaw the mini pies, cookies or scones bake them in the oven at 350F or 180C for 10 minutes to start, and then check on your pie every 5 minutes.
We don't recommend freezing any of our bars or refrigerated desserts such as our lemon meringue, as it might result in variations in texture and affect the quality of the product.
You used to have a particular flavor of pie that I really liked but I can’t see it on your website. Can I place a special order?
We have a seasonal menu and we change our pie flavors regularly. This allows us to always use the freshest ingredients that make the most delicious pies and to explore new flavors. This also means that some flavors might only be available for a limited time. Be sure to subscribe to our mailing list or follow us on social media to be the first to find out about seasonal flavors!
How many portions does a pie serve? How many mini pies do you suggest per person?
Our 4" by 6" pies serve up to 6 portions. We suggest 2 to 3 mini pies per person!
Events and gifts
Can I add a card to my order?
We offer a beautiful watercolor card, designed and printed in Montreal. Our team can add a handwritten message of your choice, you simply add it in the notes at checkout when you place your order. The price of this card is 5$.
I want to order personalized gifts or packages for my employees. Is that something that you do?
Absolutely! Please send us an email at info@rustiquepiekitchen.com to speak to our event specialist or to book an appointment so that she can help you find the perfect solution for you.

My payment didn’t go through, what do I do?
