Welcome to Ella's Stellar Pies, where every bite tells a story of love, loss, and legacy.

Our Story

Ella's Stellar Pies is more than just a bakery; it's a heartfelt tribute to the cherished memories of LaTonya Kavanaugh Furtick's beloved family members. In the span of just two years, tragedy struck LaTonya's family with unimaginable force. In 2021, LaTonya embarked on a journey of healing and remembrance after experiencing the profound loss of her dear mother Ella Mae in May, her younger sister Ella Renee in June, and her older sister Kim in December. Each loss, deeply felt, left an indelible mark on LaTonya's heart. The devastation continued when LaTonya's youngest brother Brian passed away in September 2023, leaving only two siblings remaining, LaTonya and her beloved brother Billy, from a once-close-knit family of 7.

 

A Tribute Through Baking

To cope with her grief and honor the legacy of her mother, LaTonya turned to the comforting art of baking. Inspired by Ella Mae's cherished sweet potato pie recipe, LaTonya found solace and purpose in recreating the flavors of her childhood. Thus, Ella's Stellar Pies was born—a beacon of warmth and nostalgia in the face of profound sorrow.

Leaving a Legacy

Driven by a desire to preserve her family's legacy and provide a lasting tribute for her two sons Dominique and Brandon, LaTonya pours her heart and soul into every batch of pies and treats.

Through Ella's Stellar Pies, she instills in her children the values of resilience, perseverance, and the importance of honoring one's roots. With every dessert that bears her family's recipes, LaTonya ensures that her sons inherit not only the flavors of their heritage but also the strength to navigate life's challenges with grace and determination.
