Tres Leches

I love Tres Leches cake! I had some for my birthday recently. I can see some people being put off by it due to texture though. 

It hasn’t been mentioned, but a tiramisu layer cake can be just a step under the original in taste. Delicious. 

 

[Terminalxylem]

[as an aside, what you’re really talking about is called Ermine frosting/icing, and it’s also an acceptable Red Velvet icing: it’s not actually called buttercreme/buttercream]

Ermines are in the weasel family.

You seem like you’re just really confused about gifs and desserts and stuff.

Chewy Chips Ahoy >>> German Chocolate Cake

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

Oh I'm sorry, can a hard working man not profess his enjoyment of the occasional Taco Bell in a fast food thread?  I thought this was America. 

Love the channeling of Randy Marsh.

Chewy Chips Ahoy >>> German Chocolate Cake

Lets not be crazy.  And this from a guy that hates coconut flakes.

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

I should have guessed you brownie lovers are bing users. 

The only proper use of "bing" is in Sheriff "Bing, Bing Bing" Ricochet Rabbit. 

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

I’m sure there are gay hipsters, but the stereotypical gay male cares far too much about fashion to man bun or wear socks with sandals. I’m not really sure if the latter goes with hipsters either, more of a middle aged schlub look.

This was in Florida, does that make a difference?

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

this brownie will waffle stomp your dessert selection ...and then have unprotected sex with it's sister.

and make your dessert watch.    

I would prefer a good seven layer bar.

[parasaurolophus]

Why dont they call it german's chocolate cake anymore? 

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

I do appreciate a good Schaum Torte during the summer.  In the summer I would choose that over any other dessert. 

Between that choice of dessert and my use of the word "bubbler" to refer to a water fountain you can place my location of birth within about 10 miles.

Yes, it does seem like it is on steroids and trying to overcompensate for personal insecurities. 

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

My love of other desserts, pies, Schaum torte, seven layer bars does not, in any way, negate the point that there is a king of cakes, and that king is German Chocolate.  Those of you who are advocating Red Velvet, well I am certain it probably goes well as a compliment to your viewing of men's synchronized swimming as your preferred sports viewing.

 

[Henry Ford]

Why dont they call it german's chocolate cake anymore? 

Because Americans are lazy. In 100 years it’ll just be called GermChoc.  

 

[Henry Ford]

Ermines are in the weasel family.

Yes, but if you call it “weasel frosting” you’re going to get a very different group of enthusiasts from bakers visiting your website. 

 

[Henry Ford]

This was in Florida, does that make a difference?

Yes, it means you barely escaped with your life/ right eye/ left ball/ sanity/ meth depending on the circumstance.

Magically delicious! 

I don't know who I'm saying this to, I assume everyone already knows this.

I don't know who is saying this, I assumed everyone knew it was Birthday Cake!

Happy B'Day.

No one says “ignorance of confection” seriously.

Maybe you can use bing to find a good recipe for yourself.

I tried. 

They were all out. 

Tell me - how many Henry Ford recipes have you found?

Quite a few, actually.

Honestly - I don't see one for "Henry Ford".

Am I missing it?

They're all Henry Ford Recipes.  I think if you make them all, Henry Ford appears, like Voltron.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Tell me - how many Henry Ford recipes have you found?

Buy an American car,  get a free German Chocolate cake.

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

Which one have you chosen?

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

They're all Henry Ford Recipes.  I think if you make them all, Henry Ford appears, like Voltron.

If you divide yourself among them is it a horcrux? Voldemort? 

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

German ain't German, dude!

But - I get it...

 

[Henry Ford]

If you divide yourself among them is it a horcrux? Voldemort? 

German Chocolate Voldemort is my stage name at the strip club.

That might influence me.

 

[Henry Ford]

Bearing you soul or your small clothes?

Let's just say we spell "horcrux" differently.

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

Let's just say we spell "horcrux" differently.

That is good to know. 

This has been a funny as #### thread to read. I've laughed my ### off.

I wish that I was here earlier. Nice work.

I think the rankings can safely assume we are talking about the top notch compared to the top notch.

If so, correct rankings of desserts are as follows:

1 - Pie - apple, cherry, pumpkin, key lime, pecan...take your pick.  Whatever your preference, a great pie is the pinnacle of desserts.  I'm an apple man myself.

2 - Brownies - a warm brownie with milk is one of life's greatest pleasures.

3 - Ice Cream - often used to compliment the two above it, its ability as a stand alone dessert has fostered dozens of franchised devoted solely to this delicacy.

4 - Cake - the frosting can make or break it.  I do love a good classic chocolate or strawberry cupcake, but even on its best day, I'd prefer the other three options above.

5 - Pudding/Jello/Other

5 - Pudding/Jello/Other

1. Pie

2. Cake

3. Ice Cream desserts (including Ice Cream Sandwiches and potentially sundaes which include a brownie)

4. Pudding

5. Brownies (without ice cream)

6. Other

7. Kale

8. Pig Knuckles

9. Jello

Since you seem to be the resident dessert expert where would you slot dessert bars?  Some are garbage but a scotcheroo or a good lemon bar can holds it's own amongst other top tier desserts.

As edibles your list is pretty sound, as accoutrement to sexual hijinks, not so much.  Then you have to give a large bump to pudding and whipped toppings, and a small bump to Jello.   

Look at me, telling you something you already know.

4 - Cake - the frosting can make or break it.  I do love a good classic chocolate or strawberry cupcake, but even on its best day, I'd prefer the other three options above.

A good cake doesn't really need frosting. Frosting will just take it to another level but not necessary.
