The pie is not the only thing with layers.
And somehow, she still holds it together.
Crust Issues was our number one seller last fall, and this returning hit diva is back for the season.
She is in stock, ready to ship, and waiting for you to order her before everybody else remembers how good she is.
They wanted a perfect fall gathering.
Just once.
So they planned, prepped, and poured their entire Pinterest-loving soul into it. Hand-folded napkins. A playlist that said “cozy and emotionally well-adjusted.” Every detail carefully curated for a conflict-free Thanksgiving.
Adorable.
But families do not run on cinnamon and sweet potatoes.
They run on drama.
And decades of unresolved tension.
By the time the second side dish hits the table, the passive-aggressive comments are already rolling in like gravy on the good tablecloth. Smiles tighten. Wine pours faster than conversation.
Someone brings up politics.
Someone says, “I am just concerned.”
Someone else suddenly needs to know when you are going to do something about your hair.
So when the inevitable moment arrives, there is only one thing left to do.
Bring out the damn pie.
Golden, spiced, and unapologetically over-the-top, it lands on the table like a peace treaty wrapped in a lattice crust.
The room gets quiet.
Someone mutters an apology with their mouth full.
It is not a resolution.
But it is a pause.
A bite that says:
We will deal with this later.
Crust Issues captures that exact feeling. Pumpkin spice laced with tension, vanilla sweetness trying to hold it all together, and a warm pie crust finish that smells like hope.
Or at least emotional carb-loading.
Because sometimes the only thing holding the family together is a flaky dessert.
And the person who baked it.
Again.

P.J. Candle Co. Scent #159
Wax: Coconut Apricot Soy
Wick: Cotton, no metal core
Hand-poured in Las Vegas
Availability: In stock and ready to ship
Burn Time:
Signature Candle: 8 oz, single wick, approximately 50–60 hours
Grande Candle: 12 oz, 3-wick, approximately 35–45 hours
Wax Melt Cubes: Approximately 8–12 hours per cube
Full Wax Melt Clamshell: Approximately 48–72 hours total
Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each burn.
Allow the wax to melt all the way across the surface on the first burn. This helps prevent tunneling, which is when your candle starts digging a little wax cave in the middle like it has secrets.
Burn in increments of no more than 4 hours.
Never leave a burning candle unattended.
Keep away from children, pets, drafts, curtains, and anyone who thinks “I am just being honest” is a valid excuse for ruining Thanksgiving.
