Gimme some sugar

I’m trying to cut back on sugar but then I’m at this birthday party and the host is parading around sweets from Icing on the Cupcake. I spot a tiny pie studded with a heart-shaped sugar cookie. Turns out it’s a cherry pie ($3.45) with a buttery rich sugar-coated crust and a juicy cherry filling that reminds of those cheapo convenience store snack pies I craved in high school—only a million times better. The seasonal pies, also sold in blueberry, are only available in winter and spring, so I’m going to eat as many as possible before they run out, blood sugar levels be damned.
