Hello, I'm Downriver Pie Artist at Colleen's Pies.

My name is Colleen Leavell and I am a 60 year old grandmother living in the quaint​,​ little village of Carleton. I enjoy cooking​,​ camping​,​ & spending time with my grandchildren. One of the things I've discovered is that I absolutely love to bake. My passion for food & baking began with my German grandmother in her family-filled kitchen when I was 9 years young. It was known throughout Gibraltar Michigan she was the best cook around! I spent a great deal of time with her guiding me through all of her cherished recipes​,​ and making pies with her was a treat. I hope you will allow me to share these delicious pies with you. Happy Baking!
