it turns out the cake pie isn't a lie after all.
After being accused of using a stock photo of a pecan pie by journalist April Ryan (in what was dubbed "piegate" and likely resulted in Ryan not being invited to the White House Christmas party), Sanders proved once and for all that yes, she can actually bake. Pretty well, as it turns out.
In case you missed it, here was the original exchange, where Ryan insisted that the pie Sanders tweeted was not made by her.
Show it to us on a table. https://t.co/ifeSBlSZW7— AprilDRyan (@AprilDRyan) November 24, 2017
Golly.
In the spirit of Christmas, and for a White House Christmas potluck party, Sanders baked four pies for members of the press. In a thread of tweets, Sanders posted images of the process of baking the pies, being sure to tag Ryan in the tweets.

Ingredients all mixed up and pies in the oven! @AprilDRyan let me know if you need further documentation #piegate pic.twitter.com/OVYLg1gBgO— Sarah Sanders (@PressSec) December 14, 2017
Excited to share these at tomorrow’s press potluck. Merry Christmas to the WH press corps! pic.twitter.com/PKqfHk3nXJ— Sarah Sanders (@PressSec) December 14, 2017
But there's a happy ending: Ryan received one of the pies, and "Piegate" is now, finally, over.

It was a wonderful reset gesture from the @PressSec to bake 4 pretty pies for us. We are building for better on all sides. Watch the video! https://t.co/FEQtsjdHGl— AprilDRyan (@AprilDRyan) December 14, 2017
Merry Christmas, everyone.
I love Amelia Bedilia.
Sarah is a beautiful class act.
I watched the video, that April tweeted. What an ungracious witch. Her demeanor was condescending and smart alecky, towards sweet Sarah.
April is quite full of herself and deserves NO pie!!
You ain't lived 'till you've had chocolate pizza.
How about South Park, Yelper special.
Better yet, how about some of whatever the Rooksies gave to Viktor Yushchenko.
