Dessert time arrives and you don't know what to make; there's a decision to be made and it won't be easy. The good news is that you no longer have to choose, because when you're craving a cake and also a pie, all you need to bake is an indulgent piecaken. That's right, the god of meta-food has gifted us a rich and original idea where two of the most sought-after desserts come together to become something much greater than their individual parts. To whet your appetite, here are 8 spectacular piecakens that you won't be able to resist. How about this apple cake with pumpkin pie filling?

Had so much fun coming up with this orange pineapple piecaken for @flofongsg at @8days_eat. It's a giant pineapple tart lined with toasted macadamia nuts ensconced in a no-bake orange jelly cheesecake.
