Fast Food-Mimicking Pies

Cakespy's Pie Fries Are the Ideal Celebratory Dish for Pi Day

— March 14, 2013 — Lifestyle
These crafty pie fries from Cakespy are the best way to celebrate Pi Day -- it just makes mathematical sense.

Unlike the complex Pi, this recipe is actually quite simple to follow. You just take pie scraps, cut them up into fries, butter them up and top them with cinnamon and sugar and then bake!

And what's that delicious red stuff you see in the top right corner? That's not ketchup, my friends -- that's jam. In true pie fashion, you can combine the pie fries with a sweet, fruity sidekick. You may want to also consider putting them into fry box packaging, which can be purchased under the name of pillow boxes at many craft stores. Or you can just recycle a used box from a choice fast food joint -- regardless, it's important to decorate them with a mathematical theme to honor Pi Day.
Trend Themes
1. Pie Fries - The trend of creating savory pie fries as a fun and unique method of celebrating events, such as Pi Day, presents opportunities for bakeries and cafes to offer new and creative products.
2. Personal Pie Boxes - The trend of using fry box packaging for pie fries presents an opportunity for packaging companies to create and sell personal-sized pie boxes, as well as for restaurants and bakeries to offer similar packaging for their other dessert items.
3. Math-themed Celebrations - The trend of celebrating mathematical concepts, such as Pi Day, with creative food and decorations presents an opportunity for event planners and party supply companies to offer products and services tailored to these specific celebrations.
Industry Implications
1. Bakery - The bakery industry has an opportunity to innovate by creating unique dessert options like pie fries that cater to specific celebrations and events.
2. Packaging - The packaging industry can offer new personal-sized pie box packaging sellers can use to sell their pie fries.
3. Event Planning - The event planning industry can offer services and products catering to specific celebrations like Pi Day by creating math-themed celebrations.
