Pi cutter to add to the collection

I received a very exciting package in the mail today — all the way from the Netherlands!

Pi Cutter

This year, I made quite a few special Pi Day Pies with hand-made Pi’s on top. Next year I want to make even better looking Pi’s. Jim helped me find this 3-D printed Pi cutter on Etsy, made by Printmeneer in the Netherlands. It arrived quickly, and it’s a great shape.

I can’t wait to use it next Pi Day for making even fancier pies!

Mini Alphabet Pastry Cutters

I bought these very cute tiny alphabet pastry cutters from the William and Sonoma store at least a year ago.

Small letters with hand, for scale

I’ve been waiting for an occasion to use them, and tonight I had the chance.

Cutting out letters from pastry

I was asked to make a Happy 3rd Birthday pie for a group that meets tomorrow night to celebrate their third year of existence.

Pie before cooking with egg wash

I was hoping that the pie would behave in the oven and that the filling would not bubble over and ruin my letters.

I think the pie came out even better than I hoped it might!
