In honor of Dan Patrick's Birthday, the recteq Team pulled out all the stops to do something that's maybe never been done before -create a fully pellet smoked Meat Cake!
Instructions
- Step 1: To create this epic recteq Meat Cake, start with all ingredients prepped and cooked. You can layer them however you like, but here is how we built our cake.
- Step 2: For the first layer, start with a Cheese Pizza on a wooden cutting board. Then, add layers of sliced Brisket. Between the layers, you can add some Jalapeño Cream Cheese to hold things together.
- Step 3: Next, add pulled pork and top with burnt ends. We used Mashed Potatoes piped as decoration, just like you would decorate a baked cake.
- Step 4: Last, add Chicken Lollipops and Jalapeño Poppers for the final decoration around the cake.

It's really hard to imagine anything else would be needed along with this carnivore's dream, but maybe a light salad to even things out?
