Three Brothers Bakery

Perhaps you’ve seen Three Brothers Bakery’s ‘Pumpecapple Piecake’ on CNN, Good Morning America or Saturday Night Live. This ‘turducken of pies’ is an 11-inch behemoth with layers of spice, chocolate and pumpkin spice cake, with apple, pecan and pumpkin pie all rolled into one. But the family-owned bakery isn’t just crazy pies, they are serious about their cakes, pies, and cookies. They trace their baking lineage to their Polish forefathers who escaped Nazi concentration camps in World War II. Brothers Sigmund, Sol and Max Jucker opened their bakery in Houston in 1949, hence the name, and the rest is history.
