One of the greatest dilemmas during the holiday
season is figuring out what kind of dessert to serve. Sure, you could go
all out and make (or buy) every type of pie, cake, and festive treat to
please everyone in your family — or you could take a cue from a new
food craze.
"Piecaken" combines four desserts
in one: pecan pie, apple pie, pumpkin pie, and cake. The jackpot of
sweets has been around for a while, according to the New York Times, but the mainstream hype around the dessert has just begun, thanks to a few popular bakers and pastry chefs.
The dessert concept can be expressed in as many
ways as there are cravings. For instance, you can combine one pie and
one cake to create a simplified version, or you could bake each pie
within a cake and then stack them. The possibilities are endless.
What's
more, you can up the flavors with various pie and cake batter
combinations according to the season. This fruity variety from Cookies, Cupcakes, and Cardio, features pumpkin pie, apple pie, and cherry pie.
Looks like the Thanksgiving dessert table will be both streamlined and even tastier this year!
