When artist Tammy Lavern Walker started experimenting with making dessert pies last year, she had no intention of turning it into a business, but in June this year, Walker’s Pie Company was formally established.
The business is a partnership between Walker and her significant other, Xavier Ragnauth, who prepares the fillings for the pies. Walker’s Pie Company makes Apple, Vanilla Cream, Pecan, Strawberry, Multi-berry, Pumpkin, Coconut Cream, Chocolate Meringue, and Key Lime dessert pies. It has recently extended its repertoire to the savoury side and is also making Sloppy Joe, Shepherd’s and Chicken Pot pies.
Walker shared that prior to the arrival of the pandemic, she worked full time with an animation company and as a face-paint artist at Giftland Mall on weekends. However, this all changed when businesses were forced to shutter owing to restrictions. This took a toll on the animation company as the work it did was less, so she left the job.
