In honor of Ultimate Pi Day, along with the upcoming release of Joss Whedon’s Avengers: Age of Ultron, Marvel released some delicious directions to help you take this day to a whole other menacing level. The Ulton-inspired Cherry Pie not only looks like contest-winning quality, but also teases the Stark-made artificial intelligence in such an adorably goofy way. Ultron may be a nasty villain in the upcoming sequel to Joss Whedon’s The Avengers, but he is anything but in this delightful pie form.

The recipe provided by Marvel is fairly simple too (even those who aren’t baking cookies and cupcakes every day can still take a crack at this bad boy). Just make sure, no matter how much you want Ultron defeated, it’s better to not burn him to a charcoaled crisp in this scenario.

But seriously, has a comic book villain ever looked so delectable!? The only edible villain I can remember is Pizza the Hut from Spaceballs and I do not want to take a bite off that gooey mess. Though, Pizza is another awesome way to celebrate Pi day, in case you aren’t one for sugary treats.
