Recipe Graveyard: Lean Cuisine Pizza Cake

For every recipe that makes it in to a cookbook, there are like 8,000 recipes that end up in an idea cemetery. And here we are – the first of many recipes that I’m dragging and dropping into the Trash folder.

Friends – behold! The Lean Cuisine Pizza Cake.

What I like about this idea is – not everyone likes sweet shit, so this is a savory alternative that can be just as celebratory as your classic buttercream nightmare.

But, you guys, this is just 5 microwaved LC pizzas. Just because you don’t like the sweets doesn’t mean you have given up on life. (In case someone from the brand team at Lean Cuisine reads this, please note that LCs make up a solid 25% of my current diet! HELP ME????)

Stack of LC pizzas before the decorations went on top…

In case there’s anyone out there that wants to take a crack at improving upon LC Pizza Cake, I’ll point out that the recipe is really just 5 microwaved pizzas – your choice, but I think for decoration purposes, it makes sense to have a cheese pizza on top so you have a blank canvas to work on. I used mini pepperonis and cheddar cheese as the cake-top decorations, but get creative! Use olives, egg, mushrooms – whatever the fuck you want. (Pineapple? Sure – if you’re disgusting! Go for it!). The point is – this is a pizza and the options for toppings (topping options? Toptions?) are endless. But that’s it! It’s a stack of pizzas! Hahahaha!

And – just so you can see an alternative decoration idea – here’s this…

Listen – the more I look at this piece of shit, the more I’m falling in love with it. So – who knows??? Maybe we’ll figure out a place for it somewhere down the road…. If there’s anyone out there that has idears for improvement, please email me immediately.
