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.
“Should have made it a chocolate pie”
Yeah, and loaded it with E-Lax
April is to pie eating, what “The Fly” is to pie eating.
April is having a Pie-gasm, not from the sugar but all of the attention.
Sarah, don’t embolden her.
I know I can finally have a huge sigh of relief.
“Just like there’s a place for pineapple, and it isn’t on a pizza.“
Fine. More Hawaiian pizza for me, dude!!! Yummy is yummy no matter what.

People might need to copy and paste that address or maybe that address is in the article - I don’t know.
I hope people watch the video.
April Ryan ( whom I have honestly never heard of before and did not have any opinion of before tonight ) is just ungracious and rude.
I have no idea how she was raised but the woman is a flat out b*tch. Sarah is kind and polite during this ‘ peace offering ‘ but the tension is as sharp as a knife.
What a wart on humanity’s rear end you are, April.
Sarah is a saint for putting up with that press corps.
You took the words right out of the mouth.
You certainly could cut the tension there with a knife.
April Ryan is rigid and hostile, as usual, thankful for nothing.
Amazing how many posters did not watch the video and were confused about the chocolate pie. It was a chocolate pecan pie, just as Sarah said it was, in the first press conference wherein it was brought up. Some of the four pies had bourbon in them, and Sarah didn’t know which ones they were.
“Sarah is a class act...”
I think her parents produced a sensational daughter, and I think the parents are pretty sensational, too.
from the tweet thread
Mz Ryan deserves a cow pie ...
In Da face!
I always feel so cheap when I give my pie away.
^ From a 1990 SNL skit with Alec Baldwin telling a diner waitress not to give away her pie because it makes her look cheap. Right?
I don’t think I have ever laughed so long or so hard in a movie theater as I did during that extended scene in Dumb and Dumber. Priceless!
Ha! I think you mean draw the drapes :-). My older kids loved Amelia Bedilia, I should check some out to read to the younger ones.
Lol, I have a few Amelia Bedelia books in my classroom!
Hopefully she used enough strychnine.
If the media go after Sara for her pies and they also go after Trump for drinking Diet Cokes - when the world is in the crapper - what does that say about the media?
I missed piegate, who won? And was anyone groped?
April was a jerk
Sara is a Southern woman...baking pie is like breathing
