It would seem that if fandom has a designated confection, it's pie. This confection holds a prominent place of honor in the following: Twin Peaks (specifically, cherry) Numb3rs (specifically, pi ) Pushing...Todd as actually having a fandom, since fandom isn't something I usually associate with live theater.
