The old standby
By Megan Malugani
The
French Silk Pie at
Bakers Square is a perpetual favorite. Made of a combination of chocolate and whipped cream and similar in texture to chocolate mousse (but in pie form), the only thing not to like about a slice of French Silk Pie is the calorie count: a whopping 520 (for a slice that’s one-eighth of a pie).
By the numbers: Obviously, Rochesterites like to indulge now and then. About 20 French Silk Pies (for a total of 83,200 calories) are sold each day at Bakers Square North.
Neck and neck: “It’s between French Silk and Apple for our number one selling pie,” says assistant manager Carolyn Hewitt.
Bakers Square: 3539 22nd Ave NW, 289-2468;
819 Apache Lane SW, 252-1224.
