Get ready to let a single tear slide down your cheek when this next story overwhelms you with the beauty of life. 

Step aside, Cherpumple! There's a new insane pie/cake combination in town: The PieCaken! It's three pies baked inside three cakes and it's heaven/a heart attack on a plate. 

New York City-based bakery, David Burke Fabrick, unleashed the beast into the wild on the Live With Kelly and Michael talkshow and the world has been drooling ever since. As for the actual logistics of the thing, it's an apple turnover cake stacked on a pumpkin pie stacked on a pecan pie and covered with whipped cream and probably also Type 2 Diabetes. 

A holiday challenge to myself: I think I can eat three slices of this monster. If I'm not here tomorrow, it's because I'm dead. Please alert the authorities so my parents' cat doesn't eat my body and, more importantly, the rest of the piecaken.
