Butterscotch Cinnamon Pie Day takes place on September 15. It is a celebration of a relatively new pie creation, and its origins are a little geeky but a lot inventive. If you have ever wondered if the pairing of butterscotch and cinnamon might be delicious, you will be delighted to know that it is a match made in heaven. Are you interested in learning more about this delectable-sounding pie? Let us take the time to learn about its history and how to celebrate this pie day.
HISTORY OF BUTTERSCOTCH CINNAMON PIE DAY
In contrast to other pies whose origins have historical elements, such as those that have made their way through medieval Europe in local bake shops, butterscotch cinnamon pie has a more contemporary background. It came from a video game called “Undertale,” where the pie appeared in it. Undertale is a pixel-style role-playing game produced by an American video game developer Toby Fox. Its first launch was in 2015.
With the game’s setting being a human infant who has been transported into a monster-infested underground world divided by a magical barrier, it is a unique experience. You will be presented with a series of choice-driven scenarios as the game progresses, which will aid in determining the type of conclusion you will receive.
How does the pie factor into this? During the scene where your character encounters Toriel, a monster of motherly nature, the celebrated butterscotch cinnamon pie first appears. If you accept Toriel’s invitation into their home, he will serve you this delicious pie to make you feel welcome and instill confidence in your heart.
Back in 2016, as the game achieved a worldwide sensation, fans who adored it attempted to reproduce the pie, and it turned out that it was every bit as good as it appeared. Butterscotch Cinnamon Pie Day was then created as a celebration of this pie as well as the birth of the “Undertale” fandom.
