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!

To take a bit of the pressure off, we’ve come up with 5 of the BEST St. Patrick’s Day Treats to satisfy even the stoutest of Irishmen.
Traditional Irish Brown Bread:
This bread is a favorite in any Irishman’s home. With a delicate blend of wheat flour and buttermilk, our skilled artisan bakers create a truly delicious bread. One bite of this traditional loaf will have your speaking with a Brogue before you know it! Irish Brown Bread from Cinotti’s can be used for sandwiches or served warm with a bit of Kerrygold butter on top.
Corned Beef:
Aside from our daily corned beef reuben from our sandwich shop, this year, we will kick it up a few notches by serving Corned Beef and Cabbage! Friday, March 16, as well as Saturday, March 17, we will be serving up platefuls of our slow cooked corned beef with cabbage and potatoes. We usually sell out, so be sure to arrive early!
Lucky Clover Cupcakes:
Aside from our delicious everyday fancy cupcakes, the month of March, we offer a specialty cupcake to fit the season. Our Lucky Clover cupcakes feature 3 layers of colorful cake in various shades of green. Once these cupcakes are topped with green and white swirled icing, we add shamrock sprinkles and a touch of gold sparkles. These are a must have for any St. Patrick’s Day event!
Sugared Shamrock Cookies:
Made with our buttered sugar cookie dough, our Shamrock cutout cookies taste as good as they look! These cookies are liberally covered in green sugar then baked to perfection. Take them to school, work, or keep them in your favorite cookie jar. We offer these shamrocks in two shades of green to bring out the Irish in everyone!
Iced Cutout Cookies:
These are by far, our most popular treat anytime of year. For St. Patrick’s Day, we offer a colorful selection of Irish themed cookies. Rainbows, unicorns, Leprechaun faces, and of course, shamrocks. Don’t forget the horseshoes, Lucky Irish t-shirts, or the pots of gold cookies! If you have trouble choosing which of these cookies to eat, just go ahead and get one of each!
After all, an old Irish proverb states: “All things living must be fed!”

5 must-have’s for the Big Cats big game!
The Big Cats have a big game this weekend-are you prepared? After cleaning the house and shopping for the newest attire, who has time or energy, to prepare food for everyone? Have no fear. We’ve created a list of our football favorites that let you spend more time watching the game and less time in the kitchen.
Sandwich Tray:
Made with Cinotti’s made-from-scratch dinner rolls, this tray boasts four different meats to please any guest. Ham, turkey, roast beef, and chicken salad sandwiches are artfully arranged so everyone has access to what they want. We offer these in three sizes to fit your household or party needs.
Fruit Trays:
Staying in the game is easier when healthy snacks are added to the table. With our fruit or veggie (not shown) tray featuring only the finest in-season picks by your side, you can cheer our team long after the game’s over. We offer both our fruit and vegetable tray in three sizes to fit any of your party needs.
Cheese Nibbler:
Snack from morning til night with a cheese nibbler tray. With at least three different cheeses on this tray, you and your guest won’t even have to get up off the couch to snack while the game is on. Just pass the platter and dig in. We can substitute crackers for summer sausage for a meatier presentation. Our cheese nibbler is also available in three sizes to fit your couch party’s needs.
Jaguar Cookies:
Our cookies are always a hit at any event. Our Jaguar football cookie selection is no different. We offer jerseys, helmets, and footballs in our fondant icing. We also have paw prints and puffy flowers (a customer favorite) with our buttercream icing. Display these on your table or spread them throughout your decor.
Jaguar Donuts:
Not just a breakfast item, these little guys are a great addition to the table. Available in a jersey, football, and fearsome player. We won’t claim all the glory, but, since we’ve put these babies in the store, our Jags have not lost a single game… just sayin…
Let us take it from here.
You can rest easy knowing your party is in good hands with Cinotti’s Bakery. Call us today to place your Game Day orders and beat the rush! Remember: these products are only available to order and our ALL IN staff is ready to take your call. Call 9042461728.
