Pi Day is a day to celebrate the mysterious mathematical constant of pi, or the number that represents the ratio of a circle’s circumferences to its diameter. While the number is most often shortened to be 3.14 (hence the celebration on March 14th) this decimal was last calculated to be 31 trillion digits long. In recent days, we celebrate this day by eating pie! And luckily for us, and just like pi, there is an infinite number of pies you can make.
So get your ovens ready to bake to celebrate the most kitschy (and delicious holiday) on the calendar!
