Life of Pi(e)

There is never a bad excuse to eat pie. In this case, any variety of pie would really do, but for a more authentic nod to the show's setting try your hand at baking a traditional Indian Gujiya Pie, a sweet treat that is popular during Holi and Diwali celebrations.

'Camelot' Royal Icing Cookies

If pie isn't your treat of choice, pivot to a perennial Instagram favorite, the elaborately decorated royal icing sugar cookie. Opt for a crown shape as a nod to the kings and queens that inhabit that congenial spot known as Camelot.
