Boston Cream Pie Is Not As Easy As Any Pie

Used Zingerman’s Deli Recipe. Definitely the best Boston cream pie I’ve ever had. Tried to be cleaver with my French. :woman_shrugging:

Please tell me you’re on your way to my house with this to surprise me.

Got it. (Putting my house on the market now and moving closer.)

Wow, this is gorgeous! Love the little bit of French slang on there too—had to look it up. I bet this tasted fantastic.

Thanks! My inner nerd is so happy you looked it up. :blush: It was delicious and insanely rich.

Oops! I meant to type clever, not cleaver! :joy:

The way I would demolish this cake :heart_eyes:

Did you mean to say « ceci n’est pas une tarte »?

It’s French slang. The translation is in the title: “It ain’t as easy as pie” aka “it’s hard work.”

Wow, I grew up speaking French and I didn’t get that. :sweat_smile: Maybe it depends where one is from. I know what it means when it is directly translated, but I never heard that saying before in Quebec. I thought it referred to a different saying.

Nope! While I was thinking of the famous French painting ‘The Treachery of Images’ and ‘ceci n’est pas une pipe’, I was going for casual slang instead of ‘proper French’.

Commenting for the first time to say, ahem FEED ME THIS PIE PLEASE HOLY GOD FEED ME THIS ENTIRE FUCKING MAJESTIC BEAUTY I YEARN FOR THIS PIE

It looks so good. One bite would heal me.

Is this like a Boston cream donut? Excuse my ignorance but I’m not from America.

Yes, it is. Boston cream pie is the original dessert, although despite being named ‘pie’, it is actually a cake. The donut was inspired by the cake. Hope this helps. :blush:

Could you share a recipe? :blush:

J’espère juste que ce n’est pas la même tarte que dans “La Couleur des Sentiments” par Kathryn Stockett.

Ça a l’air délicieux!

Facile is easy, I believe.
