Someone alert This Is Why You’re Fat, because this sexy dessert certainly will help you pack on the calories…but oh man does it look delightful.

What would you guys choose for the next food trend?

I have to wonder if the cake inside is red velvet with raspberry filling to help make it even more disturbing.
