About
If you thought you were clicking into something sweet, well, we tricked ya! April Fools Cake is actually a savory, pizza-inspired dish made for your main course. That's the only trick here, though. The fluffy crust (that you'll find on the top and bottom!) loaded with tangy pizza sauce and hearty meats, brings some serious flavors that you'll want to slice up and enjoy over and over again. You can trust us! The only joke about April Fools Cake is its name, we promise!
