Pi, Pie, Pi!  It’s National Pi Day!

Pi, Pie, Pi!  It’s National Pi Day!

Pi, Pie, Pi!  It’s National Pi Day!

Pi. The mathematical equivalent of a scientific element. One number every math enthusiast understands. The single most talked about constant in every math forum; is also the symbol that represents the sweetest day in math history.  Pi Day is coming.  And there’s so much you can do about it!

What’s so special about Pi Day?

Pi is the symbol to represent a constant.  And while the numbers behind its decimal point have been calculated to over a trillion digits, the common mathematical use to determine the circumference of a circle is 3.14.  So it only makes sense that March 14th (3/14) has been dubbed National Pi Day.  But why is it so important?

Well, believe it or not, math was not always a popular subject. So, in 1988, physicist Larry Shaw organized the first National Pi Day at a science museum in San Francisco in an effort to encourage schools to make math fun for children. Mathematicians dressed up in silly hats, ate pie and celebrated. This event grew in popularity and in 2009, the house of representatives passed a resolution dubbing March 14th National Pi Day. Today, we celebrate Pi with t-shirts, pie eating contests, watching movies of Pi, and more!

How do you celebrate Pi Day at Cinotti’s?

Pi day, while centered around math, is celebrated in a host of different ways.  Finding circles throughout your day and calculating their circumference using Pi will keep you busy.  And, speaking of circles, pies are circles too! Eating pie, for instance, is perfectly acceptable on Pi Day and in fact, encouraged.  We recommend eating pie made from circular fruits such as Cherry, Blueberry, or even Apple. This will increase the learning value as well.  After all, Pi is all about math, isn’t it?

Donuts, especially the round kind, are another acceptable treat to enjoy on this day. Cookies can be considered the brain food for mathematicians, can’t they? So, go ahead and get a dozen or two… or 3.14!  Basically, eating anything round from our cases is the best way to celebrate Pi.

With so many fun and edible ways to celebrate this necessary number, it’s easy to see how popular math has become.  National Pi Day has elevated awareness of an essential need in society and for that, we embrace all aspects of the number.  But, while pi may be irrational and sometimes hard to explain, PIE is not.  PIE is a constant in our lives and is meant to be enjoyed by everyone.  So, come on down, getcha some PIE and celebrate Pi with us!

Stay Sweet!

Let the Good Times Roll with a King Cake from Cinottis!

Let the Good Times Roll with a King Cake from Cinottis!

Let the Good Times Roll with King Cakes from Cinotti’s!

King Cakes:

Each year, people all across the world celebrate Mardi Gras and the heritage of Carnival with traditional king cakes. King cakes are available in many flavors and are generally covered in colored sugar.  And, no cake is complete without a baby hiding inside. In fact, some Carnivalers go to extremes to find the baby and enjoy the good fortune it brings.

Flavors:

While each bakery may vary on sizes and fillings, the base of the cakes remains the same. Ours are approximately 12 inches in diameter and serve 10 -12 people.

King cake filling choices:

  • Cinnamon (this is our base flavor)
  • Strawberry
  • Strawberry/Cheese
  • Lemon
  • Lemon/Cheese
  • Cherry
  • Pineapple
  • Pineapple/Cheese
  • Blueberry
  • Raspberry

Colored Sugar:

Our King cakes are covered in three different colors of purple, green and gold.  Each color is significant and has its own meaning.  Purple stands for justice.  Green symbolizes faith.  And, gold represents power.

Finding a baby:

The practice of putting babies in king cakes has become so popular in recent years, it’s hard to imagine a time when it didn’t exists. A bakery in New Orleans first baked porcelain babies into the cake.  Now, babies are made of plastic and inserted when the cake has cooled.  It is a great surprise when the little guy is finally found.  And, tradition dictates the finder of the baby will have good fortune for the year.

Ordering:

Although we stock our store with king cakes daily, we always suggest ordering ahead. This allows the choice of flavor and ensures you indeed receive a king cake. If you’re serving the king cakes to children or you do not want the baby inside the cake, please inform our sales staff upon placing your order. We try to accommodate special concerns, however, if you have food allergies or want to know more about handling our products please refer to our store policies.

We’re so happy to be able to serve a little taste of New Orleans from our shop here in Jacksonville Beach. We hope you will join the Mardi Gras celebration with one of our delicious king cakes.  Don’t wait til Fat Tuesday to enjoy, order one today! So, call or come in now! Our friendly sales staff is eager to take your order.

Laissez le bon temps rouler!

See you soon,

The Cinotti Family

Polish Paczki on Fat Tuesday

Polish Paczki on Fat Tuesday

Polish Paczki on Fat Tuesday

Paczki Day, (pronounced POHNCH-kee) is a Polish tradition honoring the beginning of gluttony week. We celebrate on Fat Tuesday each year although traditionally begins on Fat Thursday across the pond. This is the last day to load up on any fatty foods and sweets before the start of Lent on Ash Wednesday.

In Poland, Paczki Day is celebrated a bit differently however, almost everyone can agree that eating at least ONE of these rich doughnuts will bring you good fortune.  And the best part is; even if you’re not of Polish decent, you can still participate in the fun festivities surrounding the day by enjoying a Paczki.

What is a Paczki?

A paczki, by tradition, is a round shaped doughnut filled with jelly of some kind.  These doughnuts are often baseball shaped and made with a dairy rich dough.  This stems from the effort cooks put into using up their perishable dairy supplies before Lent.

They can be filled with many jellies or combination of jellies to suit one’s pallet. Traditionally, paczki were rolled in granulated sugar or covered in glaze.  However, these days, you may find them dipped in icing, rolled in powdered sugar, or left plain.

What flavors do you offer?

Paczki Day is one of our favorite days in terms of filling donuts with a variety flavors.  We do tweak the rules a bit here in the bakery.  Our doughnuts intertwine old and new ideas.  We have a few traditional finds, such as prune and raspberry as well as new fillings like strawberry/cheese and vanilla.

Other filling options include blueberry, lemon, apple, apple/cinnamon, pineapple, chocolate custard, custard, apple/raspberry, fig, cherry, and others.

With a variety of toppings and fillings, our store will be quite the buzz on Fat Tuesday.

How do I get one of these delicious Paczki?

Although we will have plenty made for the store, we strongly urge our customers to order ahead.  By ordering ahead, you can insure you have enough paczki for your household. You’ll also be able to choose your flavor combinations.

Kick off Lent with a Paczki!

While celebrations commence honoring the beginning of Lent, bakers across the globe will be busy preparing paczki.  We are no exception.  We’ll be cranking out these doughnuts to be sure no one is left behind.

An old Polish proverb states, “If you don’t eat at least one doughnut on Fat Thursday, you will not be successful in the New Year”.

Whether there’s any truth to this being an actual proverb is left up to debate. However, in terms of eating a doughnut, what harm could there be in at least trying it?

Our staff members are ready to take you call now.  Simply call us at 9042461728 to place your Paczki order today!

As to the true TOP DONUT, we’ll let you decide in January.

What if I need an order for that first week you’re back?

We will be open at 6am on WEDNESDAY, January 3rd to take any order you may need for the week (limitations may apply to fondant work).

We thank you all for an exceptional 2017!

All Things Pumpkin

All Things Pumpkin

All Things Pumpkin!

“HOT PUMPKIN DONUTS!”

Yes, that’s the sound you’ll hear often this time of year as we crank out these little pieces of heaven fresh daily.  In our All Things Pumpkin Collection, our signature spice flavor can be tasted in every bite. And while our signature flavor has been a closely guarded secret for years and it doesn’t stop with just Pumpkin Donuts.

Breakfast Items:

Our Pumpkin Donuts started as a humble flavor back in 1996.  Today, people line up around the bakery to get them, making these donuts our top selling product!  For that, we thank you all.

Just as their name implies, Pumpkin Muffins  breakfast treats are just what you need to get you outta bed on cool Fall mornings.  Serve them warm out of your oven with a dab of cinnamon butter and let the aroma fill your home.

If you think our Banana Nut Bread is good, just wait ’til you try a slice of our Pumpkin Loaf bread.  Pumpkin and spice with a dash of cinnamon on the top.  Serve it for Breakfast, then nibble on it for Lunch… then have a bit more for Dinner.  There may be a little left for Dessert….

Dessert Items:

Our Harvest Ring is a bunt style cake combining pumpkin and spice.  After baking to a golden brown, we add a thin layer of glaze, encasing the rich fall flavors inside the cake.                                                                   Serve it hot or cool, it’s still “FALL’S Most PERFECT Dessert!”

Of course, no Holiday season would be complete without a PUMPKIN Pie from CINOTTI’S.  We’ve been making Pumpkin pies to sell in our bakery since 1955.  The pie you get from us today is crafted from the same machines and with the same, HAND-MADE skills as we did back then.

Pumpkin, cake, Muffin, loaf, Breakfast, Bakery, Jacksonville, Beach, cinnamon, spice, homemade

Get ’em while they last:

While we offer a wide selection of products to serve you and your family throughout the year, our All things Pumpkin selections are only here for a limited time.

Our skilled bakers take pride in their ‘old fashioned’ style in crafted beautiful works of art from flour and sugar.  However, our pumpkin donuts, harvest rings, pumpkin loaves, and pumpkin pies will not be available after December 23.

If you’ve never had a PUMPKIN DONUT, or anything PUMPKIN, we invite you to come in.  Once you’ve tried one of these little bites crammed with flavor, you’ll be falling in for more.

See you soon,

The Cinotti Family

 

 

 

 

 

New Unicorn Cookies!!

New Unicorn Cookies!!

This week we are unicorn cookies obsessed!

With the wide selection of cookies we offer, we try to make themes each week.  This week, we have what I think is our most colorful week yet.  It is also sure to be one of our most popular.  Yes, that’s right, it’s UNICORN COOKIES WEEK!

From a bottle of unicorn magic to a pandacorn, we’ve got at least 10, yes, TEN new unicorn cookies to offer you this week!

And let’s not forget Carlie’s personal favorite, The UNICORN POOP EMOJI

What’s new?

Because we don’t have enough cookie cutters (insert an eye roll from my dad) we headed to the internet to see what new and exciting shapes we were waiting.  And boy, did the wonderful people over at  SweetDesignShoppe not disappoint!  UNICORNS everywhere!  Oh my gosh, we had a blast picking out just about every unicorn shape they offered.

After what seemed like an eternity (actually, sweetdesignshoppe  is fast with shipping, we’re just impatient women when it comes to our cutters), our box o corns came in.  AMAZING!

Due to the Saturday delivery, it pained us to wait until Tuesday to bake them, but we sat on our hands like good girls.  Once Tuesday arrived, however, we got busy and now are BEYOND pleased at how they turned out.

We hope you will be as well.

Where can you see the Unicorn Cookies?

We’ve posted some of our favorites from Unicorn Cookies week up on the site in the Cookies section so if you missed them in our store, you can check them out here.

We love when we find new places to broaden our cookie cutter collection.  Each time you bite into one of our hand made, scratch based cookies, please know you are keeping our artistic dreams alive.

As always, we encourage new ideas on our cookies.  And if you know me, I absolutely LOVE to buy new cutters and stencils.  So, if you ever have an idea or know of a great place to buy quality cookie cutters, let us know.

Until then, come on in and check out our daily creations.

See you at the counter.

In cookie love,

Melissa

 

National Donut Day

National Donut Day is JUNE 2nd!

Each year, more and more days are added to our calendars in celebration of an obscure color or underrated food and we celebrate them all in joy. JUNE 2nd 2017, however, is one of our favorites here in the bakery!  It’s National Donut Day!  Finally, an entire day devoted to donuts!  It’s about time these sweet babies start getting the respect they deserve!

What is this, National Donut Day?

During WWI, women referred to as “Doughnut Girls” served on the front lines providing our men with coffee and donuts. Thus, the Salvation Army Doughnut Lassie was born.

In 1917 over 250 volunteers headed to France to serve our country.  In addition to providing hot coffee and baked goods, these women provided clothes, supplies, and moral support.  There are several stories on the two women who adapted to the conditions in wartime yet overcame to give our men the best they could.

In 1938, in honor of those who served in both WWI and WWII, the Salvation Army created National Donut Day.

And, now that they are, we’re celebrating in a BIG way.

What are we doing for National Donut Day?

Friday, June 2nd is NATIONAL DONUT DAY and we are all hard at work prepping to make it the most special day yet.

We will be offering a wide array of fresh made donuts in a variety of flavors and toppings including our SPRING signature donut flavor of STRAWBERRY and, for this one day only, we will roll out our Cinotti’s original, PUMPKIN donuts.

**Due to the overwhelming demand of PUMPKIN donuts, we have a two (2) dozen maximum on Pumpkin donuts only.  We STRONGLY suggest pre-ordering these donuts to insure we have them for you.**

As always, we thank our men and women of the armed forces who serve.

Your sacrifice and service to our country can never be repaid.  From the bottom of our hearts…. THANK YOU!

 

 

 

 

 

5 of the BEST St. Patrick’s Day Treats!

Strawberry Donuts

Strawberry Donuts!

Our signature SPRING flavor donut is hot off the fryer!

After months of testing out formulas we didn’t think fit the Cinotti’s level of perfection, we finally found a combination of flavors we like enough to bring to you.  Using the finest cut strawberries and our secret flavors, we’ve masterfully created strawberry donuts you’re sure to LOVE!  

What’s so great about these donuts?

Did you know, strawberries are full of antioxidants and vitamins? Did you also know they are one of the best fruits for lowering cholesterol and blood pressure?

So, why not put these heart shaped power snacks in your favorite breakfast item?

At least that’s what Mike thought as he pondered his next big idea. He loves strawberries and loves donuts. And, he knows his customers do as well.  So, he and his team got busy working on formulas to bring the next big creation to life.

What they came up with is truly wonderful.

A flavor-packed donut full of enough vitamin C to allow you to forego the orange juice but with a thin layer of glaze to allow a hint of sweetness. These donuts are light and airy, yet satisfyingly filling.  A success as far as our taste testers have affirmed.

Strawberry Donuts, Cinottis Bakery, Spring, Glaze, breakfast, donut, danish, dunkin, krispy

How long will these donuts be in our store?

Our Strawberry Donuts are only here for our SPRING COLLECTION.

We start making these little bites of goodness April 1st and carry them through the end of June.  If you’d like to get your own Strawberry Donuts, be sure to give us a call.  We always strive to keep our showcase full, however, preordering is always recommended.

Our sales team is ready to take your order, give us a call today!

As always, we appreciate each and every one of you and love your continued support of our family business.

Field Trip FAQ

We love having children swing by on a scheduled tour of our bakery.  Their wide eyes full of wonder as they pass our six foot tall mixers and large revolving ovens warms our heart.  When considering our bakery as an option to your summer school activities, please keep these things in mind:

 

Cinotti’s Bakery Field Trip Procedures:

 Introduction & definitions :

Thank you for considering Cinotti’s as part of your learning experience.  We feel it is our family’s mission to teach where we can, what we can, and the best we can with what we were given.  Through community outreach and opening our doors to young ones, we offer a quick glimpse of the importance of following directions, working together, and overall safety.

The purposes of these procedures are to help ensure the safety of all customers and staff and to help reduce the district’s liabilities by effectively eliminating and/or reducing loss exposures and risks.

Scheduling Field Trip at Cinotti’s Bakery:  Cinotti’s opens its doors for field trips most*  Wednesday mornings at 10 am.  This ensures guests will observed all areas of the bakery in full production.

 What activities are included in the field trip? After hair restraints are approved and hands are washed, students will go over a set of rules involving interaction with food products.   Students will then be led through the facilities observing the functions of the equipment.   i.e. Bread slicer, mixer, ovens, coolers, freezers, and dough sheeter.   Students will then gather in the cake decorating area to observe a cake decoration in progress.  Once the tour is over, students will be escorted back to original gathering room where they will receive a cookie.  The decorated cake will be boxed up to be taken off premises  for consumption.

What are the rules during a field trip?

* Closed toed shoes must be warn at all times.

* Hair must be restrained via hat or hair net. (Cinotti’s will provide hairnet if needed.)

* Proper hygiene must be observed. i.e. Hands off face, no picking noses, etc.

* Hands must remain off of any equipment, food, or other bakery items during entire visit.

* Due to the amount of equipment in our facility, we cannot allow strollers during tours.

 

How much does it cost?  As of now, we offer our tours as a gift to the community.

How many children are permitted?  Our tour will comfortably hold up to fifteen (15) children at a time.  Groups with more will be placed in a holding room and be taken in shifts.  Our overall goal is for everyone to have a fair turn at seeing everything in our bakery.

Food for thought:

We are a fully functioning bakery making various food products all day.  We are NOT a nut free facility nor do we have the means to be one while a tour is present.  When tours are in our decorating area, all other operations in said area cease.   Our decorator will decorate a cake in front of the children and encourage the children to engage, however, if at any time our staff feels a child may jeopardize the integrity of our products, the child may be asked to step away.

 

 

Summer Camp Cessation

As many of you may have already heard, we have an announcement to make in regards to our annual summer camp sessions for children:

It is with a heavy heart we inform you of the cessation of summer camps here in Cinotti’s Bakery.  We had a fun run and hope to bring it back in the future.  Please accept our apologies, we understand how much fun the children have during these sessions.

 

Thank you again,

The Cinotti Family
