Punkin's Pies

Hello! I am Joanna Wilson (Punkin), the owner of Punkin's Pies Sweet Treats! The name Punkin was given to me by my older brother as a child. Since then, that has been my name, called by family and friends. I have had the passion to make others happy and put a smile on their faces from my cooking and baking since I was a young girl.

Helping my mom bake Sweet Potato Pies for Thanksgiving was always the highlight of my holidays! I HAVE NEVER TASTED ONE BETTER THAN HERS! She would make them for church functions and dinners. People would RAVE over mom's Sweet Potato Pies! Pregnant women would crave them and of course, mom would bake one for them.

After marrying the love of my life MARK L. WILSON SR,

I began mimicking my mom's famous Sweet Potato Pie. I would start the process of all I remembered by helping my mom during the holidays. After tasting the batter, it WOULD NOT taste like mom's. So, I would call her up. She would run all of the steps by me. I was always missing an ingredient. Finally, I was able to get the Sweet Potato Pie perfect (without calling her) enough to take mom's place as she got older. Once people tasted my pies they began to place orders. I would sell over 20 pies for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Now, I'm selling over 100 pies during the holidays! That is how the name Punkin's Pies came about!
