Pi Day Piestravaganza

pi-pieCalling all geeks and nerds, math enthusiasts, and lovers of fruit filled pastry — Pi Day is coming! Do you want to save exactly $3.14 on all your Pi Day delivery orders? Of course you do. Do you want to surprise your office with gorgeous locally made sweet pies or savory pizza pies? The answer is 3.141592653589793238462643… AKA: YES!

Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th (3/14) around the world. Pi (Greek letter “π”) is the symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant — the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter — which is approximately 3.14159 (ect.). Pi has been calculated to over one trillion digits beyond its decimal point. As an irrational and transcendental number, it will continue infinitely without repetition or pattern. While only a handful of digits are needed for typical calculations, Pi’s infinite nature makes it a fun challenge to memorize, and to computationally calculate more and more digits. Or you can just eat some pie and think about how lovely it would be to have an infinite amount of pie. Pie infinity.

Every year we max out on pie deliveries on March 14th. So get your orders in soon!

Gem CupcakesGluten Free Gem bakery owner, Anne Miller, knows the challenges and obstacles that come along with eating a restricting gluten free diet. So when her husband, Mike Miller, opened up his second coffee shop, Corbett Coffee Plant, in the John’s Landing neighborhood in 2006 she insisted that he do it completely gluten free. They had just discovered that their daughter Greta, like Anne, was also gluten free and the family was facing the challenges of finding locales where Anne and Greta could eat comfortably without the worry of cross contamination.
