Looking for something different to serve your guests this holiday season ?

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 !
