Many look forward to a big Thanksgiving feast; however, some eagerly await what’s served after—pies and desserts! Since 2001, Fort Myers’ Award-winning Norman Love Confections has been creating delicious treats, and their traditional fall-themed desserts are the perfect ending to a holiday meal. 

“A limited number of freshly baked holiday pies and desserts are available during the Thanksgiving season including Pumpkin Pie with vanilla Chantilly; Apple Pie with cinnamon streusel; Pecan Pie with chocolate chips and milk chocolate Chantilly; Pumpkin Cheesecake with spiced graham cracker crust, spiced white chocolate glaze, white chocolate Chantilly and ginger cookie crumb; Pumpkin Roulade, a pumpkin cake rolled with cream cheese icing, garnished with white chocolate Chantilly and cinnamon streusel; and Carrot Cake with cream cheese icing,” says Norman Love, CEO, Norman Love Confections.

The delicious pies can be topped with Norman Love Confections Artisan Gelato in flavors like Caramel Turtle or Coffee or accompanied by the chocolatier’s gourmet chocolate gift boxes and gift baskets. Pies are available to pick up from Friday, November 3, through Wednesday, November 22. The cutoff for Thanksgiving orders is Monday, November 20, at noon. After that, all Thanksgiving desserts will be available in the stores on a first come first-serve basis. To order, call 239-561-7215. For more information, visit NormanLoveConfections.com.
