Fun fact! The year 2010 first occurs in π 1,009 digits after the decimal point.

Sometimes I just don't have much blogworthy material to work with in my life, and that's been the story of the last week or two. But I don't like to leave my blog sitting dormant for long, so instead of one fully-formed blog post, I might just post some snippets.

Today's snippet is Pi Day. I did not make a pie this year, more for lack of time than lack of ambition. But since our ward FHE tonight is a Pi Day celebration (what a seriously cool ward I have!), I couldn't do nothing. So I made apple pie cupcakes, which are round, experimental, pie-inspired, and pi-inspired, and therefore (I believe) entirely appropriate to the occasion. Plus, unlike a pie, I could make the cupcakes in stages - cupcakes, filling and frosting, numerical decor. The cupcakes themselves are spice cake with applesauce, and they have an apple pie filling and allspice cream cheese frosting. I can't vouch for their taste yet, and I may be too busy sampling actual pie to try them, but the results at least look vaguely like what I pictured in my head and tastebuds when I started out.


A happy 3.1415926535897932384626433... to all!

Yes, that was from memory.
