There’s actually a “weight management” section on the Cheesecake Factory’s Web site, but we note that it doesn’t list any cheesecakes. No matter, we don’t think dieting is what readers have in mind when they vote for Cheesecake Factory in this category year after year. There’s your basic original cheesecake, a red-velvet cheesecake, a dulce de leche cheesecake, a peanut-butter-cup cheesecake … well, you get the picture. Freed’s comes in a distant second.

What do we love about Layers? Well, for one thing, we can stop in and maybe have a piece of warm Heart of Darkness Cake, with its warm, gooey interior, or maybe a Whoopie Pie or chocolate eclair or Chocolate Mud Puddle (do you see a pattern here?). And we can drool over the rich, elaborate cakes in the case and maybe even take one home. If we feel like sharing.

Layers Bakery’s retail store is currently closed, but a new store will opening in July in the Green Valley Crossing Plaza. In the meantime, telephone orders are being accepted.
For the best alternative dessert, try Funnel Cake Creations. I found them at the food courts at Boulevard Mall and Galleria Mall. They have an incredible Banana Cream Pie Funnel Cake!! The fried twinkies were pretty good too.
I’d really like to see DW Bistro included. A) they are local B) ALL their deserts are made fresh C) it is a great cozy place that I’ve enjoyed as a local rather brunch or dinner.
