american pie

With just about a week to go until Thanksgiving, we have a lot on our minds, like what to wear and how to do our hair, but also--and maybe more importantly--what to have for dessert. Nobody wants to have a Pieces of April type situation at Thanksgiving dinner.

In the spirit of the holiday, and in the spirit of dessert, we pulled together the craziest and most delicious pies and cupcakes you can order to arrive by Thanksgiving day. So whether you're in the mood for a classic berry pie or are looking for something with a wacky twist (like three pies inside of three cakes stacked on top of each other--yes, that exists), we've found all the dessert options you really need. Just click through our gallery and get ordering because the last thing you want is to spend another Thanksgiving eating your aunt's not-so-great rhubarb pie, at least when you could have a ganache-topped cheesecake.
