Meet the man behind Man-Made Pies
Hey, I’m Michael, a single dad from Baltimore crafting no-nonsense pies with my two teens in a regular rowhome kitchen. After mastering pecan pie during lockdown—earning a blue ribbon at the 2024 Maryland State Fair—I launched Man-Made Pies to share straightforward recipes for guys and curious bakers. My bourbon-spiked, lard-crust creations prove baking is as manly as grilling, perfect for impressing dates or bonding with family.
