Detroit's Acclaimed Sister Pie Will Temporary Close as American Financial Crisis Looms
Ludwinski, a cookbook author who moved to New York to work for Christina Tosi's Milk Bar before returning to Michigan, alluded to a variety of reasons for her decision, including a looming financial crisis and recession. Saturday, June 8, is Sister Pie's last day in its present incarnation.
'I've arrived at the conclusion that the business isn't working in its current state,' her Facebook post made on Wednesday morning reads.
The bakery debuted in 2015 and immediately drew acclaim, earning national recognition. That year, Ludwinski was named an Eater Young Gun, recognizing emerging culinary talent all over the country. Ludwinski, who wasn't immediately reached for comment, writes on social media that 'although the spirit of Sister Pie is alive and well,' the start of 2025 showed her that she needed to make changes.
While the bakery, 8066 Kercheval Street, won't be open to the general public while Ludwinski plots its future, the space will host an occasional event, including pop-ups, in the interim. Sister Pie will also fulfill special orders and offer baking classes.
She adds: 'There's a lot I don't know right now, like how long this interlude will last or what Sister Pie will look like when we come back, but I'll keep you posted.'
Ludwinski encourages fans to visit before the closure to support her staff.

Labor Government Expands Under-16 Social Media Ban to YouTube
YouTube will be included in Australia's incoming social media ban, with the federal Labor government going back on an earlier policy. This means children under the age of 16 will be prohibited from having an active account on the video-sharing platform, along with other popular social media apps such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, and X from early December 2025.

Australia bans YouTube accounts for children under 16 in reversal of previous stance
MELBOURNE, Australia -- The Australian government announced YouTube will be among the social media platforms that must ensure account holders are at least 16-years-old from December, reversing a position taken months ago on the popular video-sharing service. YouTube was listed as an exemption in November last year when the Parliament passed world-first laws that will ban Australian children younger than 16 from platforms including Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok and X. Communications Minister Anika Wells released rules Wednesday that decide which online services are defined as 'age-restricted social media platforms' and which avoid the age limit. The age restrictions take effect Dec. 10 and platforms will face fines of up to 50 million Australian dollars ($33 million) for 'failing to take responsible steps' to exclude underage account holders, a government statement said. The steps are not defined. Wells defended applying the restrictions to YouTube and said the government would not be intimidated by threats of legal action from the platform's U.S. owner, Alphabet Inc. 'The evidence cannot be ignored that four out of 10 Australian kids report that their most recent harm was on YouTube,' Wells told reporters, referring to government research. 'We will not be intimidated by legal threats when this is a genuine fight for the wellbeing of Australian kids.' Children will be able to access YouTube but will not be allowed to have their own YouTube accounts. YouTube said the government's decision 'reverses a clear, public commitment to exclude YouTube from this ban.' 'We share the government's goal of addressing and reducing online harms. Our position remains clear: YouTube is a video sharing platform with a library of free, high-quality content, increasingly viewed on TV screens. It's not social media,' a YouTube statement said, noting it will consider next steps and engage with the government. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Australia would campaign at a United Nations forum in New York in September for international support for banning children from social media. 'I know from the discussions I've had with other leaders that they are looking at this and they are considering what impact social media is having on young people in their respective nations,' Albanese said. 'It is a common experience. This is not an Australian experience." Last year, the government commissioned an evaluation of age assurance technologies that was to report last month on how young children could be excluded from social media. The government had yet to receive that evaluation's final recommendations, Wells said. But she added the platform users won't have to upload documents such as passports and driver's licenses to prove their age. 'Platforms have to provide an alternative to providing your own personal identification documents to satisfy themselves of age,' Wells said. 'These platforms know with deadly accuracy who we are, what we do and when we do it. And they know that you've had a Facebook account since 2009, so they know that you are over 16." Exempt services include online gaming, messaging, education and health apps. They are excluded because they are considered less harmful to children. The minimum age is intended to address harmful impacts on children including addictive behaviors caused by persuasive or manipulative platform design features, social isolation, sleep interference, poor mental and physical health, low life-satisfaction and exposure to inappropriate and harmful content, government documents say.
