National Pie Day is January 23. It’s the perfect opportunity to start off the year right with a sweet “thank you” gift for staff or customers: gThankYou Pie Gift Certificates.
Pie Gift Certificates from gThankYou are good for any brand of pie, cake, cheesecake or similar items — fresh from the bakery section or frozen. Recipients redeem their Pie Certificates at major grocery stores nationwide. January is also National Thank You Month, and nothing says “Thank You” like pie.
Pie is the traditional all-American treat, “as American as apple pie.” We share pies at the holidays, on picnics, at parties and as a special treat. Besides being a delicious indulgence, pie means something. Making a pie is a labor of love, symbolizing togetherness, love, comfort, and family. National Pie Day is the perfect day to explore new flavors and textures of our favorite dessert!
30 Mouthwatering Pies to Enjoy on National Pie Day
Nothing beats a good apple pie, basic cheesecake, or slice of birthday cake — and all of those qualify as treats that can be redeemed with a gThankYou Pie Gift Certificate!
But why not discover a new pie or cake? Here’s a list to get you started …
1. Banana Cream Pie — An American classic made with a rich custard of milk, cream, flour, and eggs and combined with sliced bananas in a pastry or graham crumb crust. Yum! (Here’s a fun recipe from Ambitious Kitchen!)
2. Banoffee Pie — An English twist on the Banana Cream Pie. This one’s made with bananas, toffee, and cream.
3. Angel Food Cake — A basic spongy cake that’s perfect for soaking up a topping of fresh fruit, syrup or liqueur, and whipped cream.
4. Bumbleberry Pie — A sweet fruit pie, originally from Canada, that combines blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries. The taste of summer!
5. Banana Bread — Really more of a cake than a bread; it’s perfect warm, by the slice and slathered in a little butter.
6. Black Forest Cake — A rich chocolate cake from Germany studded with cherries and kirsch brandy.
7. Buttermilk Pie — A staple among Southern desserts, this custard pie is made with sugar, butter, eggs, flour, and for a little sour twist, fresh buttermilk.
8. Cherry Pie — Best made with lots of tart cherries to balance the sweetness and served with a dollop of whipped cream.
9. Key Lime Pie — Made with the juice of extra-sour Key limes, egg yolks, and sweetened condensed milk for a creamy treat. (Try this one by Once Upon a Chef!)
10. Carrot Cake — Lots of shredded carrots make this a moist cake. Perfect with a layer of sour cream frosting.
11. Coffee Cake — A dense cake folded with lots of cinnamon.
12. Cupcakes — Any cake can be made into a portable, single-serving cupcake piled high with frosting!
13. Mississippi Mud Pie — A crumbly chocolate crust with a gooey chocolate filling. Great with ice cream.
14. Fig Cake — An Egyptian-style cake made with figs as the primary sweet ingredient.
15. Ice Cream Cake — Why put ice cream on your cake when you can put ice cream in your cake?
16. King Cake — A braided Danish pastry with cinnamon, vanilla frosting and purple, yellow, and green sprinkles. It’s popular during Mardi Gras in New Orleans and has a surprise inside! (Here’s a video to help from Allrecipes.)

18. Pear Tart — A Parisian delicacy (in French: tarte bourdaloue).
19. Mooncake — A small, round Chinese cake traditionally shared during the Mid-Autumn Festival, or Zhongqiujie.
