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.
