I recently read a review of my blog that consisted of two words.

Calorie Heavy.

I was bit a taken aback by this short and decisive description. But, I decided to to not feel embarrassed or disappointed in the single minded perspective.

Know why? It’s SO true. I blog about baking. And 99% of the time, its cakes and cookies. That have lots of calories.

My blog is Calorie Heavy.

As am I.

Just sayin.

That being said, sharing this next calorie heavy cake with you is a great treat for me. Its probably the most fattening cake I have ever made.

Scratch that… I have made lots of cakes. Its just really yummy.

This quiet little unassuming cake packs a big punch.

It is a Oreo crumb covered, hot fudge dipped, chocolate covered cherry packed delicious white cake.

With a cherry on top.

Although I could not adore the oreo cookie crumb coating more… I have to tell you.

Its the amazingly sweet inside that I love.

Chocolate covered cherries.

Encased in a bed a sweet vanilla frosting.

Surrounded by a rich white cake.

Under a coat of hot fudge. Topped with oreo crumbs.

Now… I made this cake a week ago. But have been to scared to share it! I mean. Its a bit over the top.

I was going to offer a tutorial right away but it occurred to me… people probably dont want to make a cake that should really be served by the fork bite instead of by the plate.

Its just too much! My insane idea to make this cake must have been based on some weird pregnancy hormone.

I think.

Just for the record… next time I make this I am going to add more oreo. 😉

  1. I would LOVE to make that cake – it would not look nearly as pretty as yours, but I am crazy about chocolate-covered cherries and THIS CAKE IS JUST TOO PERFECT! I would love the tutorial!!!

  2. I don’t have any wierd pregnancy hormones and that cake looks divine! I want it! I may just have to make it for my own birthday next week.

  3. Great cake – how on Earth did you cut & serve it? Calorie heavy – as long as you have fun, who cares, right? 🙂

  4. This blog is yours; ignore what others think and just share what you like. We expect most desserts to be calorie heavy, and readers have the choice to make these desserts or not. So, do what you like; don’t be ashamed of anything you post, and don’t worry about the criticism, unless it is constructive and invited :).
    Anyway, that cake looks freaking awesome!! What a great idea! You’re so creative.
