Legend has it that Prudy Manolov was destined for greatness—or at least a kitchen where flour explosions were a daily occurrence. Some people build empires with spreadsheets and board meetings; she built hers with rolling pins, community spirit, and an unshakable belief that butter fixes everything.

As the fearless founder of Glass Slipper Cakery, she wasn’t just baking cakes—she was curing heartbreaks, fueling caffeine-powered business deals, and somehow turning frosting into therapy. Whether organizing local charity events, mentoring bakers-in-distress, or negotiating high-stakes cookie exchanges, she understood that running a business wasn’t just about selling pastries—it was about building a community one sugar rush at a time.

Before that, she thrived in retail leadership and real estate coaching, which basically meant solving crises, growing businesses, and teaching people that yes, success is possible—even if your first attempt at sales feels like dropping an unbaked pie on the floor.

Then, somewhere along the way—amid the recipe experiments, late-night business strategies, and highly suspicious pie-related punsPrudy Pies was born. Not as a bakery, but as a celebration of storytelling, life’s absurdity, and the undeniable truth that everything is better with an extra slice.

So, welcome to Prudy Pies, where leadership meets laughter, where baking meets brilliance, and where life is best tackled with a rolling pin in one hand and a dream in the other.

🥧 Pie is power. Pie is connection. Pie is life.
