Pie imbedded in cake - Pumpple cake, 1800 calories a slice

[Liberal_in_LA]

Is it a cake or a pie? It’s both, and it’s 1,800 calories a slice
‘Pumpple cake’ is a hybrid of pumpkin pie, apple pie and cake



You’ve heard of turducken, now get ready for the dessert equivalent — the pumpple cake.

While the turducken, a chicken stuffed into a duck stuffed into a turkey, once seemed over-the-top, the pumpple cake is even more decadent. One Philadelphia bakery dreamed up this ultimate fall dessert: pumpkin and apple pies baked in chocolate and vanilla cake, fused together and surrounded by buttercream icing.

This oversize creation weighs in at a whopping 15 pounds and measures more than a foot tall. And at 1,800 calories a slice, it's not for the faint of heart.

2. OMG that looks good. eom

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

3. Gotta serve something after the Turducken

[aquart]

4. No. That is just wrong.

When I crave cake, I crave CAKE. When I crave pie, I crave PIE. My desires are not that indecisive. Must be a dessert for independents.

5. is that a huge amount

of frosting between layers?? Yikes - looks like diabetes in a single sitting.

[petronius]

6. That cake is pure win, with a whole 'nother serving of win baked right inside

Assuming, or course, that they used high-quality icing... :9

13. That's what I'm sayin !!

Gawd help me but I do have a real substance abuse problem when it comes to sweets and pastries. :crazy:

[nadinbrzezinski]

7. Tummy aches... (for real)

But that is sick... I guess you can have a slice more often than once in a blue moon is you are an Olympic swimmer.

26. feel better

:hug:

[guitar man]

8. Cake and pie at the same time

I'm game, cut me a big slice of that! :evilgrin:

21. lol... Hmmm... I wonder how that tastes

It doesn't look too appetizing to me.

[frogmarch]

12. It doesn't look tasty at all.

I'll pass.

[necso]

16. Pie and cake, irresistible combination. /nt

[Liberal_in_LA]

17. I like pie crust.. Seems like the crust would get soggy being cooked in batter

[necso]

20. I dunno. Cooked first, maybe. /nt

[jmm]

18. No bacon? It's not batter dipped and deep fried?

If they're going to make shock value food they need to do it right.

[madrchsod]

19. i could use the calories if they were the good kind but....

that looks yummy!

[Beaverhausen]

22. YES! YES! YES!

Oh god, yes!!!

[xor]

23. I find these things to be amusing marketing tactics

do something ridiculous (and I'm sure somewhat tasty) and let the media do the rest.

[tridim]

24. Meh, pie is worthless without a flaky buttery crisp crust.

Pass.

[Liberal_in_LA]

25. agreed

[JI7]

27. that's a really thick layer of frosting

[FreeState]

28. And from the picture it looks like its not real buttercream

real buttercream frosting has a yellow cast to it (the picture may have been a bad one that missed the cast) meaning its made with Crisco or some other fat that is even worse for you than the amount of butter in that (which is well over a pound for that amount of frosting - its also probably the main source of the calories)

[Liberal_in_LA]

29. close up pic, the apple pie layer looks nasty

[marmar]

30. I'll think I'll have a slice after my KFC Double Down, then........

[Art_from_Ark]

[cherokeeprogressive]

34. Okay, but just a tiny slice... well bigger than that... bigger... little biggerrrrr okay that's good

Can I have some milk with that?

[RedCloud]

35. Here's some sandwich for the tea baggers!

Might need tons of health care after eating this puppy.

[CommonSensePLZ]

[JI7]

[Warren DeMontague]
