Breaking News: Dessert Pizza Cake!


But first: Thank You!

Truly, heartfelt thanks for your sweet comments on my photo yesterday.

Your compliments mean so much to me. No, not because I’m vain; because I’m self-conscious! It’s terrifying, posting photos of myself on the blog! I’m guessing a lot of y’all probably feel the same way.

And now, big news for pizzerts: Some of y’all have found that your Breakfast Pizzerts, if made the fat-free way, tend to experience separation anxiety when you remove them from the pan. In other words, they stick (or crumble).

This is especially true with the Gluten-Free Pizzert.

Luckily, I found a remedy for this issue: instead of cooking the pizzert in a cake pan, roll the mixture out onto a cookie sheet (lightly sprayed or coated with oil). Separation anxiety cured!

Using this new method, I made the above pizzert cake for the little sister of a friend. It’s a spelt-and-coconut-flour pizzert half, stacked to look like a cake.

For the icing, I used my incredible Fudge Frosting.

I’d planned on adding sliced strawberries, but the cutie-pie customer insisted: “Spwinkles! Spwinkles!” And since the customer is always right, spwinkles it was. Hey, it’s still healthier than a Dairy Queen blizzard, one of my snacks-of-choice, growing up. (And I turned out ok!)

Rule of thirds? What’s that?

Did you mispronounce any words when you were little?

I think it’s so cute how my friend’s sister says “spwinkles.” When I was little, I’d tell you my favorite color was “tur-toise” and my favorite food was “brocci.” And my sister would tell you my name was Tatie. We’d have her practice the K sound, but she’d just go like this: K-K-K…Tatie.

    I’m so sorry I haven’t commented lately! I went back and read all your posts and they’re amazing as always! I especially love those raw mint brownies! 🙂 And I agree with everyone else that that picture of you is gorgeous!

    That pizzert looks SO good! I love the fudge layers!

    I used to pronounce biscuit like biksit. I kind of still wish I did 😉

    Have an amazing weekend, girl! 😀

      Aw, you’re such a sweetie… do you remember Limp Biskit? lol 90s band!

  3. Mary @ Bites and Bliss says:

    I couldn’t say my R’s, they were all W’s. Along with the, I’d always say “aluminuminuminum” and “cinamonimon” 😛

  4. Christin@purplebirdblog says:

    I love putting photos of myself on my blog.. but I’m also a bit vain. 😉

  5. J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says:

    I love those blue sprinkles!

    I used to have a hard time pronouncing hospital and spaghetti when I was a toddler, luckily I grew out of it, lol! I also called albacore tuna Albuquerque. 😆

  6. Sandi says:

    k-k-k-tatie! That made me laugh. I used to say “instresting” instead of “interesting”…my dad still makes fun of me about it.

  7. Camille says:

    I have been told that I say the word “toddler” wrong. I say it “toddle-er”. I still say that I am right! And I also used to say won like “juan”, I corrected that one though!

    1. Chocolate-Covered Katie says:

      Ya know, until your comment, I never put two and two together as to why little kids are called toddlers… cause they toddle!

  8. Tracy @ Commit To Fit says:

    My two favourite things together at last: cake and pizza! It looks yummy!

  9. BroccoliHut says:

    Haha, my family also has a few funny mispronunciations that live on today. I always said that I wanted “danilla” ice cream, and my sister often talked about packing her own “hootcase.” Those are regular parts of our vocabulary to this day!

  10. Moni'sMeals says:

    oh yummm. 🙂 Gotta have the blue sprinkles!

  11. änne says:

    the cake looks sooo good,it’s amazing how effortlessly a “simple” pizzert can be transformed into a dessert that makes childrens eyes pop out 🙂 I have to keep that in mind when I’m babysitting again…
    As for mispronounciations,I don’t remember certain words,but I had a time then I switched parts of a word,so instead of “sidewalk” I’d have said “walkside”…and until today I tend to talk very very VERY fast when I’m excited,leaving out entire words…and believe me,it does not depend on the language I use 😀

  12. Nicole @ Of Cookies and Carrots says:

    Katie your photography looks absolutely beautiful! 🙂 and that is such a cute, and delicious looking cake!

    when i get home for break i am most definitely making me a pizzert 😉

  13. kate@ahealthypassion says:

    I’ve GOT to make some of these pizzerts I have been seeing them just about everywhere and they look DELISH!

  14. Heather @ kissmybroccoli says:

    Aww, I love the blue spwinkles! The only sprinkles I have right now are Christmas colors… 😕

    I could not for the life of me pronounce the word “film” when I was little…it always came out “phlegm” Bahahaha!

  15. Charissa says:

    Amazing recipe….I’m in love.
    I used to say am’nt. A lot…code for “I’m not”. My family would say, “You’re saying ‘am’nt’!” I would reply with a frown. “No, I am’nt.” Haha…

    1. Chocolate-Covered Katie says:

      Aww hehe so cute! And economical too… why waste breath on more syllables, right? 😉

    Those photos are beautiful. I love how the sprinkles match the blue ribbons in the background. Nice use of space. The subject looks quite delicious, too.
