What is a Christmas PieCaken?<\/h2>\r\nThe Christmas PieCaken<\/a> comes from the mind of renowned pastry chef Zac Young<\/a>. The bottom layer is a rich chocolate pecan pie, the middle is a luscious cherry swirl cheesecake, and the top is a festive red velvet cake. Cream cheese buttercream is spread between each layer and on the outside of the creation. For a finishing touch, the whole thing is rolled in bright red and white sprinkles.\r\n
