Zac Young, the executive pastry chef for David Burke Group, said Wednesday that he dreamed up the recipe four months ago with Fabrick’s pastry chef, Gian Martinez. They wanted to take “dessert turducken” to the next level. The business has been churning out about 100 piecakens a day, at $49 each. “Through the magic of butter, it all stays together,” he said of his eight-pound creation, which takes about 7 hours to construct. As for calories, Mr. Young won’t even get into it, but some rough calculations with online calorie counters puts a slice at over 1,200 calories. “Let’s just say we filed it away in the Thanksgiving calorie box and don’t think about it,” Mr. Young said. The piecaken is a dish that is free of culinary constraints. It can take on many forms. On social media, people have celebrated piecaken in all of its glorious variations: Covered in chocolate, bursting with apple pie, topped with Oreos and frosted in buttercream.

Seam Allowance: approx. 1/8″ – 1/4″ (loose-knit and thinner sock material need to have bigger seam allowance as the loose knit can be ripped off easily.)

Note: Since the sock is stretched after stuffed, thick sock with close-knit yields better quality than thin sock. Click here to shop for Microfiber chenille socks set to make Sock Sheep.

Tips: Always massage the stuffing to loosen the lumps. Roll any long tubular parts with both hands to smooth out the lumps, it will also help to make the parts longer and firmer.
