I was well beyond delighted the minute I walked into a charming venue called the Pie Place Café & Bakery in Burleson, Texas. Would one expect less than a beautiful showcase of desserts with a name like that? All hail, Delusion! Uh… negative…more like a bona fide manifestation; it was too surreal for just a sighing moment. Scanning the beautifully adorned pies, my eyes were drawn to the glass cake dome treasuring the Upside Down German Chocolate cake. This treat was typical of the nostalgic German chocolate cake, moist with all the abiding ingredients, the chocolate sweetness encompassed by pecan pieces and grated coconut. The tapestry swirl top of semi sweet chocolate and caramel set this fascinating dessert apart from the rest. It was swanky and stylish in its own existence and would put to shame any other pseudo cake daring enough to take the same cake runway. Whether you eat this cake upside down or right side up, it permeated every aspect of my topsy-turvy state of mind. And so until our next conviction, um, I mean convention, eat more cake, it wards off the H1N1 virus…well, not really but thinking it while eating cake might make it so!
