Allie Bakes is a Cottage Food Operation baking handcrafted confections in a home kitchen. Owned by Allie X Brooker since 2017. I am a self-taught baker who joyfully designs, bakes and decorates all the goodies you will find on this website, whether for your two-footed or four-footed besties.

Organic ingredients are thoughtfully sourced from local dairies, farmers and millers that practice sustainability. The most important ingredient is love however, and you can taste it in every pie, cake, or cookie I bake.

I started baking as a teenager. My mom was a wonderful and adventurous cook, especially for suburban San Fernando Valley in the sixties, but I don't remember ever baking with her. Perhaps that is why the baking began – to fill a void in the holiday dinners. Knowing what I know now, I can't imagine anything I ever baked back then came out the way it was supposed to. But that never stopped anyone from eating it! I have since learned the value of the oven thermometer. And more recently, the scale. I know now these are things a home baker cannot succeed without.

This site is born of the desire to share knowledge and gather friends who love baking and learn from them. There are endless things to learn, which is why my baking obsession continues to grow. Having won a KCRW Good Food Pie Contest ribbon really helped feed my thirst for knowledge. The friends and teachers I have met through my baking learning experiences are amazingly gifted and I treasure them deeply. 

 
 

Allie Bakes has a Race Car!


Well sort of.

 
 

Allie Bakes is the official sponsor of RPM Motorsports. I designed and maintain the website for race car driver Cale Kanke. Cale has had several top-ten finishes since the car got Pie-Powered. They are having yet another exciting year! In fact this September 16th, 2023 is the first ever Spears Southwest Tour Allie Bakes 100 Race at Irwindale Speedway!

We call our home Camp Glen Green because we live on Glen Green Street, but with all the Hollywood Orchard goings on here, it has really become the hub of neighborhood activity. I love the Camps of the Adirondacks and although our little house is nothing compared to the scale of those dwellings, it does have a special feel about it. Camp Glen Green is a Certified Wildlife Habitat.

Oh, I designed this website and I can make one for you too!

Happy Pie Day. Had to finally try this Apple Rose Pie - and channel my inner @julie_jonesuk. I don’t seem to have one yet. But I learned a lot and the crust was still amazing. Unfortunately no pie to share as it went into the trash receptacle.
Valentine’s Day Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Pie. I saw this recipe in different versions at least ten times this week so I thought I would adapt it for Valentine’s Day for my husband who loves all these things, except not so much pie. We
