Portland Meet PieCake! A Brand New Food Cart!
Amanda McCoy and her husband Rob moved to Portland answering the alluring call of the Food Cart and Brewer dreams that many hear, but not many have the courage to act on.
Amanda wanted to open a Food Cart and Rob wanted to work at a brewery here in Portland.
Last week Amanda’s Food Cart dreams came true when she opened PieCake at Carts on Foster.
Wee Buns
When Amada was a little girl her great aunt would make Amanda a culinary treat called “Wee Buns” and those “Wee Buns” inspired the PieCakes that Amanda crafts today.

So what is a PieCake? Watch this video and let Amanda tell you in her own words –
Where
If you want to enjoy a PieCake for yourself, you can find the PieCake Food Cart at Carts on Foster at 52nd and Foster.
The Dishes
One Fun Note – If you get your PieCake order “for here” the dish you will get your PieCake on a dish that was used at Amanda and Rob’s wedding. Following her wedding, Amanda kept the dishes so that she could use them at the food cart she dreamed of someday opening.
Found in The Fridge
By the way, while I was at Amanda’s Food Cart working on this story, she happened to open the refrigerator and inside, amongst the baking items, were cans of Great Notion Juice Jr. That’s right Rob moved to Portland to work at a brewery here, and he is a brewer at Great Notion Brewing!
