Piecakens, good dessert to show skills or a waste of baking?

I'm a fan. I've been doing at least one every year. The favorite I've made was a blueberry pie baked into a lemon cake with lemon frosting.
The "original" piecaken is a pecan pie, with a pumpkin pie with a spice cake on top with frosting and apple pie filling as a topper. I prefer to actually bake the pie into the cake.
I've done it with home made and pre made pies.
I never have leftovers so I guess they are liked.

I want to do a three pie, three cake one this year but having issues thinking of complimentary flavors.

Maybe pecan in chocalate, yam in pumpkin spice and apple pie in spice or vanilla cake.

Though I sort of want to try to do a pumpkin cheesecake as the central layer in one.

I personally think the piecaken is going to be a more common dessert especially with GoldBelly's advertising blitz of the boring original style.
