Cheesy as Pie

Laura’s Cheesecake & Bakery

Plastic flowers, schmaltzy poetry, heart-shaped boxes of generic chocolates.

If it’s just a smidge hokey, you’re unfailingly enchanted. So given your penchant for cheesiness, the true key to your heart is hardly surprising: actual cheese.

Especially when it comes in the form of pies from Laura’s Cheesecake & Bakery. Made in the aptly named town of Mount Pleasant, Texas, these desserts range from basic classics (like plain cream cheese, blueberry, and raspberry) to the to-die-for turtle, apple streusel, and marbled brownie swirl.

But you don’t have to play favorites: The six-flavor sampler allows you to try them all. Which means you’re bound to be content any way you slice it.

Sure, you’d be just as easily wooed by a handwritten sonnet or a bed strewn with rose petals. But those things require real effort and planning.

And this? Well, it’s a piece of cake.
