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.
It’s pie time! With or without bourbon @AprilDRyan? #piegate pic.twitter.com/2xw58FDFg6— Sarah Sanders (@PressSec) December 14, 2017
Thanks to @VP Chief of Staff @Nick_Ayers for supplying the pecans from his family farm in Georgia #piegate pic.twitter.com/Lx7LpMwF4V— Sarah Sanders (@PressSec) December 14, 2017
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.
Author starts out the article sounding condescending towards Sarah.
Sarah is a class act.
April will eat that pie in one sitting.
Hmpf. I thought chocolate pecan pie sounded about 500% better than regular pecan pie, which is basically an injection of Karo syrup. But then I can’t think of anyplace chocolate doesn’t belong...
Sarah is doing an incredible job. She’s such a good sport too, given the invective thrown at her by these piranhas.
Merry Christmas, Sarah, and thank you!
Zero scoops of ice cream for April Ryan though.
I always feel so cheap when I give my pie away.
Woah. I actually do know what you’re referring about Amillia Bedillia...I just don’t remember why!
Her crusts look very even. She must use some sort of crust shaping tool.
No one would ever mistake my pies for store-bought—I just fold over the crust at the edge and mash it with a fork all the way around. I try to place the tines evenly—but nothing comes out even in my crust.
Love your enemies. Pray for those who mistreat you.
Haha, like the one in the movie, The Help?
Thanks Kaslin. I'd have enjoyed it if Sarah had made a lot of pies, and given everyone BUT that monstrous **** April Ryan a slice to eat.
Mayor Federal inmate Ray Nagin approves this message.
The White House ?
“April will eat that pie in one sitting”
April will eat that pie before finding a place to sit.
And that is what makes it home made its all the character one brings to it
Just like the pie made in “The Help”
Yes!!..........lol
Sarah spiking the ball into Pig Woman’s face—nice!!!!
Chocolate mousse pie is scrumptious!
The “press corps” these days is more like a bunch of mewling, juvenile little snowflakes than piranhas.
Would like to see Ryan and Omarosa in a BT-1000 smackdown.
