Neither Ms. Ellsworth (1) nor Nikola Andrews (5) chose Lemon Meringue; Ms Bryant did. Marcie isn't Ms. Downs (3), Ms. Ellsworth, or Ms. Craig (8) and is Ms. Bryant. Kerrie isn't Ms. Downs (3). Since Kerrie didn't order the Egg Custard or Blackberry pie (7) and Ms. Ellsworth had one of those two, Kerrie isn't Ms. Ellsworth; Kerrie is Ms. Craig. By clue 9, Jan didn't order the Chocolate Creme and is thus Ms. Ellsworth; and Lisa is Downs. Jan ordered Egg Custard (9) and Nikola Blackberry. The five friends enjoyed their after-work desserts as follows:
