Look for the Key Lime Pie King who will be selling and serving his famous desserts this week on Micro Racetrack Road.
Anthony Edmondson of Taste Buds Bakery in Lady Lake will be at his roadside stand beginning at 11 a.m. Thursday, offering free samples and selling take-home pies.
About twice a month, he sets up his big white Taste Buds tent on Micro Racetrack Road, about halfway between County Road 466A and Lake Ella Road.
It’s his own recipie, with a rich Florida history.
“Real Key Lime Pie is not green,” he said. “And it does not have a soft ‘pudding’ texture. The pie gets its true pale yellow color from the egg yolks that predominate the ingredient list.”
Everyone who drives up must take a sample.
“You don’t buy it, until you try it,” he insists.
Those who buy get 10 slices for $20. Many of his customers are Villagers.
The Key Lime Pie King holds a business license and food safety license. He keeps them on display in a binder whenever he sets up his tent. He leases the land on Micro Racetrack Road where he has become a familiar sight.
He’ll gladly put customers’ pies on ice if they are more than a half hour from home.
A binder documents more than 1,000 signatures of customers who have been impressed with his pie.
