                            NATIONAL BOSTON CREAM PIE DAY

National Boston Cream Pie Day is observed annually on October 23. Boston Cream Pie is a chocolate frosted, custard filled cake that is loved by millions.
Even though called a pie, Boston Cream Pie is actually a cake. 

In 1856, at Boston’s Parker House Hotel, Armenian-French chef M. Sanzian created this pudding and cake combination which comprises two layers of sponge cake filled with vanilla flavored custard or creme patissiere.  The cake is then topped with a chocolate glaze, such as a ganache or sometimes powdered sugar and a cherry.
In 1996, Massachusetts declared the Boston Cream Pie as their official dessert.

National Mole Day – October 23

NATIONAL MOLE DAY

National Mole Day is observed annually by chemists and chemistry students on October 23. You may be thinking that this day is in honor of the little burrowing creature, however, it is not.  
This celebration takes place between 6:02 AM and 6:02 PM, making the date 6:02 10/23 in the American style of writing dates. The time and date are derived from Avogadro’s number, which is approximately 6.02×10^23, defining the number of particles (atoms or molecules) in one mole of substance, one of the seven base SI units.

• Mole is a unit of measurement used in chemistry to express amounts of a chemical substance.
• Avogadro’s number, is a historical term closely related to the Avogadro constant.
• The Avogadro constant is named after the early 19th century Italian scientist Amedeo Avogadro.
