Working together, they cooked up the idea of Tip Top Savory Pies.
“Both Rob and I have backgrounds in business, which has helped us a lot. It is really taking all our skills and rolling it into one for that magic formula,” explains Carr. “Having a partner makes it easier to start a business, too. We both have strengths, and we re coming together, playing off those strengths together.”
One of Carr s strengths included her culinary experience. Trained as a chef at the now-defunct French Culinary Institute in New York, she developed the perfect flaky pastry for the pies, conquering the challenge of high-altitude baking. The Tip Top Savory Pies crust is made with just four ingredients: flour, butter, water and salt. But each pie has its own personality, thanks to the fillings.
