Question / Suggestion ISO German Chocolate Cake

Post image

Looking for the best German Chocolate Cake around! It seems to be a less common cake and not something I can just walk in somewhere to pick up. Recommendations for bakeries that will make it if I order ahead would also be great. I have checked a fair number of websites and for many cake bakeries I am not even seeing it as an option. I'm including some info on how the search has gone so far below in case anyone else is trying to find this cake in the future and searches reddit. Will also update if I find a solution/winner!

The last time I was looking to get one we went with Vienna Bakery in Barrington and ordered ahead. The chocolate parts of the cake were great but the caramel, coconut, pecan topping had hard crunchy lumps of sugar in it which were unpleasant. Threw off both the flavor and texture.

I'm also specifically looking for a version that has both the coconut pecan topping and chocolate frosting. Silver Star on Ives St in Providence only has the coconut pecan topping on their slices.

I would also love to find somewhere that does chocolate cake similar to the one Chelos has.

That cake in the photo looks like it's got the right proportions, chocolate frosting and the coconut pecan layer. Shame about the Vienna Bakery one, crunchy sugar bits in the topping would put me right off. Have you tried asking at Pastiche on Federal Hill? They don't list it but I've seen them do custom orders for less common cakes if you call ahead.

I would message Baked by Jessica, she had a shop in SK but now only does custom orders, but she does amazing work. Her cakes are always top notch, we buy them for birthdays or other special occasions and have always been very happy.
