Tippin’s celebrates the Royals with a blue French silk pie

Kansas City’s blue fetish — in honor of the Royals making it to the World Series — continues everywhere, including in the local culinary world. This morning, for instance, Tippin’s let us know about a blue version of its French-silk pie.

The Kansas City, Kansas-based company (a subsidiary of Balls Foods) is delivering the pies to almost all of the Hen House supermarkets in the metro. It features a blue-tinted whipped topping. Underneath all that baby-blue stuff, though, is a traditional chocolate silk pie.

“Since Tippin’s is Kansas City’s iconic pie,” says Katie Hayes, marketing associate for Tippin’s, “and we’re the hometown pie partner for the Royals, we felt it was important to honor the Royals with a special pie.”

Advertisements for the limited-edition pie will begin running Sunday.

“Do the San Francisco Giants have a pie partner?” Hayes asks. “I don’t think so.”
