Sweet Treats & Baking Elites
Nostalgia is finding value within the little moments and our larger memories. As a member of the Photomyne family, we know the past holds a special place in your heart, and we welcome you to our weekly newsletter of nostalgic photos.
The smell of sugar, butter, and flour fills the air with sweet goodness. You feel the heat from the oven as you sit and watch your creation rise. The room is filled with warmth, comfort, and the promise of a treat when it's all over. There's something special about the art of baking, the perfect combination of science, creativity, and technique that come together to form the best activity for any day of the week. From cookies and cakes to bread and pastries, you'll never run out of projects to take on.
And while World Baking Day is still a couple months away, today - Pi Day - seemed as good a day as any to highlight one of our favorite pastimes. Pi Day celebrates the mathematical constant pi (π), which represents the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. So what’s a better way to celebrate Pi Day than to bake up the edible version? Whether you choose a classic apple, cherry, or something a little more out-there, how will you honor Pi Day?
