Supposedly that's what Marie Antoinette said (it's a fallacy, google will tell you all you need to know, lol)
Since I am not Marie Antoinette, I can say it with conviction! Last year, the wife and I took a little trip to Chattanooga to go to the Tennessee Aquarium among other things, it was a little getaway for a few days to celebrate our 25th Anniversary. During this trip, we ate at a diner called "City Cafe Diner". I got a burger and don't really even remember what she got to be honest. The burger was fairly good, it was HUGE, that much I do recall. On the way in, we saw this display cabinet full of the most beautiful cakes I'd ever seen, spinning around on a carousel, so after dinner I ordered a piece of the "Seven Sins" cake to go. It by itself was $7.00! We got back to the hotel room and I took a bite and was floored! It was THE BEST cake I had ever tasted, bar none. My wife, who is not even a sweet eater, took a bite, then another, then another........she was in love, lol.
We returned back to the diner the next morning because she heard the breakfast was excellent. I got some pancakes and sausage, not a fan. Humongous portions but it was just meh. I came real close to buying a whole cake to bring home but didn't. The whole ride home I was thinking about that cake though :P
As luck would have it, my wife made a trip to Ohio with my Daughter to visit a friend and on the way back home decided to route herself through Chattanooga to get a cake. That's just what she did, she called ahead a day before and ordered a whole "Seven Sins" cake and brought it home. This thing is enormous and could easily feed 25 people. I have eaten my share as has my wife and son, we've given some away and still have half a cake left! It costs $71.00 but to be honest, it's worth every penny! I now need to find a way to freeze this thing. I am sick of eating cake but I don't want to toss it out from not eating it either.
This is what the fuss is about :

Prior to eating this cake, my favorite chocolate cake actually was from the Publix deli. Their Chocolate Ganache cake is excellent, or so I thought. After eating the Seven Sins cake, it makes the Publix cake taste like a Little Debbie (no offense Debbie, I still like your snack cakes too!).
That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Wow...that looks like a really good cake.
We are going through there in about a month on our way to see our kids in East Tenn. Might have to stop for cake.

I am sure that it's the low calorie version :)

Do it! You will not regret it. If you get the whole cake, plan on having people to help you eat it. It really is enormous. I imagine their other flavors are just as decadent.

If so, I'd hate to see the high calorie one! Actually, I take that back. BRING ON THE HIGH CALORIE ONE! :P

Starting day 1 of a diet today. I'm sure that I will be licking my computer screen on this photo before too long. Major sweet tooth!

For that I apologize. This is a diet killer of a cake, lol

We had one very similar in Vegas that was 21 layers. The price was a couple of bucks a layer per slice. :o The girls all thought it was too rich but I loved it and went through a 1/2 gallon of milk.
-
It looks so moist! That's quite a cake.

I live about 10 minutes from there and have never tried it. Now I'm gonna have to stop and get a piece of that. My son loves the Million Dollar Cake.

Wow! You're that close so you definitely should try it. Let me know what you think if you do, I can't see anyway possible that you wouldn't like it ;)

Jason who says you can't have your cake and eat it too :D man that looks like a killer cake.

Well, the place is just a few miles off out path so I have it set to swing by and grab a cake.
Thanks...

Come on Jason, you haven't figured out how to make that thing yet??? ;D 8)

Thanks Jason for finding this place. My wife and I stopped by on our way to East Tennessee and split a grilled onion and mushroom burger. It was a really good burger...but not great. I will order it again though.
We of course had to get cake. They look amazing as you walk by to your table. We each ordered a piece and three slices to go for our Daughter, Son-in-law, and granddaughter.
I had Chocoholic suicide, wife got Heath and had Hawaiian wedding cake, and two others that I cannot even remember to go.
I started my chocoholic cake in the restaurant but had to drop it in a to go box as well. Got to the kids house and it took us three days to eat all the cake. A bite here and a bite there.
I have the place marked on my GPS for when we go back in November. So all you folks who live close by, make a day of it. It's at least impressive enough just to look at the cakes.

Yeah, the food is nothing special. It's average to good, but those cakes are killer!
