We Make You Bake
About Us
Our Journey
Every great recipe begins with a story. Ours began with a dream.
For years, I had the privilege of owning Hollyhock Hill, a beloved restaurant with nearly a century of history. It wasn't just a place where people gathered to eat—it was where families celebrated milestones, friends reunited, traditions were passed down, and memories were made around the table.
One thing became beautifully clear: there is something magical about pie.
Not just eating it—but baking it. The comforting aroma that fills your home, the anticipation as it turns golden in the oven, and the simple joy of sharing that first warm slice with the people you love. Baking a pie creates a feeling of peace, connection, and happiness that few things can match.
That experience inspired You Want to Bake.
Our mission is to make it possible for anyone to enjoy the art of baking without the hours of preparation. Every pie is handcrafted with premium ingredients and thoughtfully prepared, so you can enjoy the most rewarding part—the baking itself.
When you place one of our pies in your oven, you're not simply making dessert. You're creating a moment. You're slowing down. You're filling your home with warmth, comfort, and the irresistible scent of something made with care.
We believe the kitchen is where love is shared, traditions begin, and lasting memories are created.
That's why our promise is simple:
We Make You Bake.
From our kitchen to yours, we invite you to experience the beauty, joy, and timeless tradition of baking a pie that's ready to become part of your family's story.
Meet Kelly
Kelly's love for baking began years ago with a dear friend. As young mothers raising children the same age, they spent countless hours together in the kitchen, discovering that making pies was about so much more than dessert. It was about slowing down, sharing stories, creating traditions, and filling a home with warmth.
That passion only grew while Kelly owned Hollyhock Hill, one of Indiana's most cherished restaurants. There, she witnessed how a simple pie could bring families together, celebrate life's milestones, and create memories that lasted long after the last slice was served.
Inspired by those experiences, Kelly created You Want to Bake—a way to bring the joy and artistry of homemade pie into every home. Each pie is handcrafted and prepared with care, so you can enjoy the best part: baking it yourself and sharing it with the people you love.
We Make You Bake isn't just our tagline—it's our invitation to create moments of comfort, connection, and happiness, one pie at a time.

We do the craftsmanship. You create the moment.
Whether it's a family gathering, a holiday table, or a quiet evening shared with someone special, there's something magical about pulling a golden, bubbling pie from the oven. It looks homemade, smells homemade, and tastes like it took hours to create—because we believe everyone deserves that experience.
