Thanksgiving, Christmas, July 4 … now let’s add another reason to eat pie: Pi Day! On March 14 folks the world over will celebrate the mathematical constant 3.14. I’ll also be celebrating any pastry that can serve as a dessert or meal, that is sweet and savory, and that comes in both mini and family-size forms. With this diverse set of tools, pans and dishes, you can make pie a part of Pi Day and any occasion throughout the year. — Mariko from The Little Foodie
Pi Cookie Cutter - $13.90 This could be used for making pi cookies, but you could also use it on the top crust of your apple pie as a decorative touch.

Pie Pop Chart - $28 If you love pie as much as I do, then a pie chart showing ingredient breakdowns is probably completely appropriate.

Poppy Ring Pie Pan - $36 I am completely in love with this deep-dish pie pan. As you slice in and finish the pie, the colors and pattern are revealed.
Chicago Metallic Baking Essentials Pie Crust Protector - $7 This is a tool that I often need when the pie is in the oven for an extended time. It keeps the edges from burning before the pie is cooked through. Buy on Houzz

Nordic Ware French Rolling Pin, Brown - $9.99 I prefer a French-style pin to the traditional handled type. I find that they’re usually better for tender crusts.
Pie Crust Bag - $6.95 I love this idea, mostly because I hate trying to guess if I’m rolling out the dough to the right size.
Wusthof Bench Scraper - $14.95 I’m a fan of bench scrapers for those pesky, sticky pieces of pie crust. I use them all the time, and not just for pies.
Pie Top Cutter, Stars and Cherries - $12.95 These pie cutters cut all your shapes for the top crust at once, making placement of the crust much easier.
Pie Iron Set - $36.67 Who says you can only cook pie in the oven? This would be a fun outdoor activity on summer nights.
