Spelled

Stressed spelled backwards is desserts. (Loretta Laroche)

A cherpumple (cherry pumpkin apple) is a dessert inspired by Turducken (turkey duck chicken) where several different flavor pies are baked inside of several different flavors of cake, and then stacked together. Making a cherpumple can take up to three days, because each layer must cool before they are combined. Using boxed or frozen pies can improve the results as they are more structural

The piecaken on the other hand features a cake layered atop two pies instead of baked around it. The piecaken can include any combination of flavors, and qualifies even if there is only one pie baked into one cake. What does it take to pull off these feats of food gravity?

You will need patience, a good cake (and pie) recipes, and some time in a kitchen. Are you ready to conquer the taste sensation of the piecaken (or the cherpumple)? Here are ten delicious types for you to search out on the Internet:
