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 can’t stand having chocolate in a pecan pie, or any other pie,”
Really. There’s a place for chocolate, and it isn’t in a pie. Just like there’s a place for pineapple, and it isn’t on a pizza.
Romans 12
…19 Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for God’s wrath. For it is written: “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” 20 On the contrary, “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink. For in so doing, you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.…
I have never made a Pecan pie, and doubt that I could even make one
“Should have made it a chocolate pie.”
Yeah, made with that “special chocolate” you get off the front lawn!
Hey Sarah, show them to us on a REAL kitchen table. Is that some sort of RUSSIAN table?
Sincerely, April
I hope it was one of those gypsy pies for April’s fat ass.
I would have made it a chocolate pie stuffed with ex-lax. But Sarah is obviously a better person than I.
On the contrary: If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. —— Romans 12:17-21.
Pie solves all things. I learned this from Amilia Badillia when I was learning English. Although coconut cream would be better.
I have no doubts no one here knows about what I am referring.
Off todust the drapes!
It’s amazing how the media can take such as incredibly petty as a homemade pie and blow up into “scandal”.
It’s not hard at all, especially with a store bought crust.
I would probably have wanted to give Ryan something but it wouldn’t have been pie.
That said, Merry Christmas to Sanders and Ryan.
According to Google Translate.
Remember when they did that to Bush over the holiday turkey in Iraq or Afghanistan.
What a surprise, April acts entitled even when Sarah takes time out of her busy day to make 4 pies for the arrogant witch.
Sarah was much more gracious than I could have been.
She really took the high road, that April was still bitching about how she should be “nicer” to the press corps every day.
Yup. Petty then, petty now. Some things never change.
