I'm the Mom of three teens. My 17 year old son can be a handful sometimes (my one and only complaint... he's terrible at getting his homework done on time!). He refuses to go to prom so obviously tuxedo shirts are not his thing, yet he is signing up for the "AFTER" prom party where they take part in a lock-in at the school all night for games, food, a hypnotist and music. I can't get him to finish a paper that was due in English 3 weeks ago, yet tonight he was all over the assignment to celebrate "PI DAY" this week.
It actually falls on Sunday - (March 14th.... get it?) Pi = 3.14 so it's celebrated on 3/14. Tonight he painstakingly worked on a "pi-cake" for class. I figured it was a great idea for my readers who are a little geeky like me, and want to celebrate in a fun way!
He wanted to make the cake from scratch but considering he told me this at 6:pm and we would have to make it, bake it, cool it, cut it, frost it and then decorate it... I suggested we run to the store and buy a cake to cut our time by almost two-thirds.
Cutting the cake into the shape of Pi
Frost the edges and then use frosting to start placing the numbers of pi
to the farthest degree that fits on the cake.
