FOOD A TOWERING ACHIEVEMENT THREE BROTHERS TRIPLES THE HOLIDAY FUN Looking for something different to serve your guests this holiday season? Then look no further than the colossal Pumpecapple Piecake from Three Brothers Bakery – a three-layer “piecake” featuring a pumpkin pie baked in a pumpkin spice cake, a pecan pie baked in chocolate cake and an apple pie baked into a spice cake. That’s just the beginning – brace yourself. Then, each piecake is layered with a generous filling of scratch-made cream cheese icing. The piecake is then topped and covered with the same cream cheese icing, pecan pieces and a generous caramel drizzle. Weighing in at approximately 24 pounds and standing 11 inches tall, this Texas-sized dessert can feed 80 people and is truly an edible work of art. Are you and your friends and family up to the challenge? We think so! “Our Pumpecapple Piecake is the turducken of desserts,” said Bobby Jucker, bakery co-owner and fifth-generation baker. “It’s everything anyone could want in a holiday dessert, all in one slice.” FYI: The most popular holiday item at Three Brothers Bakery is the award-winning pecan pie. While pecan pie is nothing new, the pecan pie from Three Brothers Bakery is actually one of the best in the U.S. and made it in Southern Living magazine’s “Top 10 Best Mail Order Pies in the U.S.” list. Other top sellers during the holidays include gingerbread, gingerbread houses, holiday rum balls and holiday-themed petit fours. On average during the holiday season, the bakery sells around 8,000 pies from its three Houston locations. www.3brothersbakery.com 10.30.2013 5:46pm Photography courtesy of Three Brothers Bakery 20 L O C A L | 12 . 2017 22 26 28 30 32 34 dine write chef‘s special tablescape open perfect pair club review 12 . 2017 | L O C A L 21
