If you're not in the pie business, then don't make the pie (unless you really want to, which it appears you don't). I get calls all the time wanting things I don't sell, and I made the same mistake as you and made a pie or cheesecake or...

puddles, I have a couple of extra points to throw in. I wouldn't make anything that you don't want to continue making. I don't sell cookies, but I made some for a similar program when I first started my business. I STILL get calls...
