The polls have closed and the results are in! North Branford Patch readers were asked to choose what kind of birthday cake we'd celebrate with on Wednesday, Nov. 30 from 3 to 5 p.m. at Pastry Fusions.

And the winner is......chocolate devastation with 55 percent of the votes!

Pastry Fusions' website descibes the cake as its signature cake. It's a "Chocolate cake filled with alternating layers of chocolate ganache and chocolate mousse, then frosted with a chocolate whipped cream."

I don't know about you, but it sounds pretty delicious to me! I hope you'll all be able to come join me for a slice of this decadent treat and a cup of coffee tomorrow!
