Author Topic: Which is better -- Cake or Pie? Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 08-18-2009 08:06 PM                        As a whole, which is better? None of this "Well... it depends on the particular cake or pie" nonsense. We really need to reach a proper conclusion to this controversial issue ASAP. Every member who is registered must answer this question here in order to stay registered. The choice is tough for me. But I think I will choose pie because there are more varieties that I like than types of cake. Tally so far: Cake = 0 Pie = 1 (I will attempt to keep this updated unless I get lazy or something).  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 08-18-2009 08:19 PM                        Pie, although I will never refuse cake. My favorite is chicken pot pie. Oh wait, I bet you mean like dessert pies. OK, well then my favorite pies are pumpkin with whipped cream, lemon meringue (sp?) (must be very tart), chocolate cream, apple warmed up & a la mode. Or most any pie, but not mincemeat. Who the hell invented mincemeat pie anyway? That's not pie, it's something else, not sure what, but not pie. Also not crazy about rhubard pie but I'll eat it.  |  IP: Logged Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-18-2009 08:30 PM                     Pie! I have of late been very disappointed with my cakes. Ah pie. Apple pie Cranberry pie Strawberry pie Meat Pie & Mash Shepherds pie Cherry pie  |  IP: Logged Jake Spell Master Film Handler Posts: 294 From: Johns Island SC Registered: May 2009 posted 08-18-2009 08:31 PM                     Pie Nothing like a pear pie made with fresh pears form you own yard  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-18-2009 08:37 PM                        Cake is better for me, because there are hardly any cakes I won't eat (as long as they don't have excessive amounts of chunks of non-cake stuff, like fruit, in them). Pie is good but there's really only about 4 kinds I like; the rest are OK for throwing at people, but I would rather not eat them. Having said that: My mom's apple pie is one of the best things on this or any other planet.  |  IP: Logged Mark Ogden Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 943 From: Little Falls, N.J. Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-18-2009 08:40 PM                     What about cheesecake? Cheesecake is not pie, but it is not, strictly speaking, cake either. Also, to be served properly, it must be cut with a piece of wet monofilament fishing line. No shit! There's actually a place in San Francisco (Zanze's) that includes a piece of Stren® with every order. Plus, it lasts in the freezer for, like, ever. My g.f. and I split a piece of Key Lime cheesecake at The Cheesecake Factory Sunday night that was so good, I ran out into the parking lot and yelled about it. So if any of you were over at Smith-Haven Mall the other night, that was me. So my vote is for cheesecake, unless its uniqueness among desserts disqualifies it, whereupon it's pie. Although, frankly, I'm going thru a big cupcake thing right now.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-18-2009 08:46 PM                     lets see does that include steak and kidney pie  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 08-18-2009 08:52 PM                     I think I will go for pie. Apple Pie with Vanilla Ice Cream Chocolate Cream Pie Cheesecake would be the next favorite in line.  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under!

Chocolate is a major favorite. Although if Joe sends me a really nice pecan pie, I might change my vote. With some ice cream on the side, please.  |  IP: Logged Geena Phillips Expert Film Handler Posts: 198 From: Norcross, GA / USA Registered: Apr 2006 posted 08-18-2009 09:14 PM                        I like cake, but most cake is simply a delivery system for frosting (kind of like how most potato chips are a delivery system for salt). My vote goes to pie.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-18-2009 09:21 PM                     Put me down for both. They can be equally as good and as my saying goes "too many items on the menu.... not enough time to eat em all!" quote: Geena Phillips (kind of like how most potato chips are a delivery system for salt). Gee, I woulda said the dip... really, who on earth even considers the salt when eating the chips.

How's bout a red velvet or carrot cake? My all time favorite would be chocolate on chocolate.  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-18-2009 09:29 PM                     Cake. You get icing with cake. Icing is the best thing about a cake but only when it comes on a cake. You wouldn't eat more than a spoon full of icing unless it was on a cake. Icing on a pie would be just plain weird. You could have whipped cream on a pie but you can also have whipped cream on cake too. Whipped cream on cake isn't as weird as putting icing on pie. You can have ice cream with pie but you can also have ice cream with cake. Then there's chocolate. Yes, you can have a chocolate pie but, since you can't have icing on a pie (unless you are weird) you can't have CHOCOLATE icing. If you want chocolate icing, it has to be on cake. If you had chocolate cake with chocolate icing and chocolate sprinkles on top, plus ice cream with chocolate chips on the side, you've got a combination that's miles ahead of pie! With a squirt of whipped cream on top, you've got a winner! Hands down! Cake rules!  |  IP: Logged
