Vote!
-
I refuse to choose.
-
Like I said in the chat, pies are for everything but eating--sitting on window sills, going into people's faces, getting fucked by Jason Biggs, etc. Cake wins.
-
And by "going into people's faces," I mean in the comical, "What Would You Do?" way.
-
My brother once got mad that we were having pie (when we were very young) and screamed "I can't stand the pie format! What don't you understand about that?" at my mother and I.
I personally think pie is delicious. Especially apple pie or tart cherry.
Or blueberry.
Or chocolate cream.
And all the other kinds of pie.
-
I am guessing this relates to something said on tonights show, so I imagine Paul F. let his thoughts be known. He is absolutely right. Cake is much better.
However, I don't think its a majority opinion. I find cooked fruit disgusting so I don't like pie (I also don't like the others, I've been grilled exhaustively in my life about every type of non-fruit pie). Every time it's come up no one has ever heard of anyone disliking pie across the board and they think I am crazy. I have friends who don't like cake and they don't get that kind of scrutiny.
-
cake with no frosting=delicious
pie=seasonal (i.e., pumpkin)
i voted.
-
Good cake is better than good pie, although bad pie (even hostess fruit pies) is arguably better than bad cake.
-
I'm a pie man all the way:

I have long held the opinion that cake is overrated. Sure, good cake is awesome, but your average birthday cake is like eating a sponge sprinkled with sugar and probably some sort of food coloring.

Something like that.
-

You are absolutely right about this. I occasionally make this sour cream chocolate chip pound cake that's always been one of my favorite desserts.

Fixed!
Pie.

Well, you've obviously never had Tipsycake www.tipsycakechicago.com/ (http://www.tipsycakechicago.com/). Their cakes are amazing!
Another cake-related sidenote, my friend Ashley makes these awesome prints, buttons, shirts, and stationery at imsmitten.com

As the best man at my brother's wedding, I program-directed his bachelor party. It was supposed to be a pie fight, held on the shores of Lake Michigan. But our Dominick's didn't have any pies that day, at all. Just ice-cream cakes. Which turned out to be a lot better - you don't have to throw the whole thing at once, you can just grab a fistful, so the fight lasts longer. From that day on, I choose cake.
-
Pie! No contest. Sure chocolate and frosting are great, but it's not like they will never appear in another medium.
Plus... think of the regional appeal of pie! Everyplace is known for something different. You can go to any given supermarket and pick up some cake off a conveyer belt (hopefully a-la I Love Lucy), but some lady a few miles away is going to be selling some delicious Grape Pie by the side of the road.
C
(not for cake)
-
I like both, but pie is my favorite. Strawberry rhubarb pie is maybe the best thing in creation.
-
I concluded in the chat that my mom's pie cake is the best. Herring inside, beef carpaccio on top.
-
Cake wins if it has buttercream frosting. If it's a cream cheese based frosting, pie wins. Sorry, that's just the way it is.
I love red velvet cake, but only if it's sweetened with beet sugar and NO COCOA POWDER (beet sugar is the correct recipe, of course). And I can't stand the cream cheese frosting!! So, yeah, the buttercream frosting isn't "authentic" on a red velvet cake, but who cares?
-
how about beefcake?
-
Cake wins if it has buttercream frosting. If it's a cream cheese based frosting, pie wins. Sorry, that's just the way it is.
We may both be powercallers, but we differ on this one.
Cream cheese icing all the way. I also like cakes topped with whipped cream instead of icing.
-
Angel Food Cake (w/ whipped cream and fresh strawberries). Pro or Con?
-
Angel Food Cake (w/ whipped cream and fresh strawberries). Pro or Con?
Pro, obviously. You could put fresh strawberries and whipped cream on a turd and it'd be delicious. (I assume.)
In general: Pie! Fruit pie only, though, and with homemade pastry crust. No custards or creams, thanks.
-
The joy that pie-done-right* brings me far out weighs the joy that cake-done-right brings me.
*pie done right: apple (or some fruit) pie served hot with vanilla ice cream.
With that being said, I've never met a piece of cake I haven't liked; I just don't love cake the way that I can love pie.
-
It goes, in order: 1)Pie 2)Cheesecake 3)Regular Cake
-
oh. see. I'd put cheesecake above both pie and cake. the ultimate hybrid.
-
I take my cake with a side order of pie.
-
Angel Food Cake (w/ whipped cream and fresh strawberries). Pro or Con?
Make that Angel Dust Cake and we're talking.

This is a good compromise for those of you who can't choose:
Kentucky Thoroughbred Pie

Pie Crust:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup butter, cut up
1/4 cup ice water, more or less
.

2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
2 tablespoons Kentucky Bourbon

Crust:
Mix all except water in food processor until crumbly.
Slowly add ice water until mixture just holds together.
Wrap in a flat circle in plastic wrap; Chill overnight.
Form into pie pan.
Filling:
Beat eggs with cooled butter. Add flour & sugar. Beat until mixed well. Gently fold in pecans, chocolate & bourbon. Add mixture to pie shell. Bake at 350° for about 30 minutes, or until set. Serve with fresh whipped cream.
-
bad pie is far better then bad cake... bad cardboard tasting cake with super sweet icing, blah!!
i say pie, like apple or pumpkin or blueberry, warm with a scoop of ice-cream. unbeatable.
the exception to the rule has to of corse be flourless chocolate espresso tort, or moist carrot cake.

The pie voters? A bunch of contrarians, says I! Need to rock the boat...not go with the vox populi.
Ever heard of a birthday pie? A wedding pie? No. How does one celebrate the important events in life?

Case closed. Cake is objectively better.
-
(sorry, i'm okay now)
-
bad pie is far better then bad cake... bad cardboard tasting cake with super sweet icing, blah!!
You've clearly never had a piece of bad pie! Pie can be inordinately worse than cake and I've had some horrible cake in my time, let me tell you. Even at its worst the cake was still more edible than a mincemeat pie, or a poorly executed apple pie.
-
At the next FOT meetup, I'm bringing cake and pie & we'll see which one is eaten faster.
That will be the true test of which is better.
But telling you about this would skew the results, so you'll have to forget you ever read this post.
Carry on.

Coconut is the worst thing you can put on a cake! Don't put coconut on cake, guys! It's not cool!!!!!!
I hate the texture of coconut. I hate the taste (or lack thereof, really). I hate the fact that it sticks in your teeth no matter how hardcore you floss. HATE IT! Coconuts should be eradicated from the earth. Along with cilantro. SCORCHED EARTH.
-
I think liking or not liking cilantro is genetic. I know lots of people that hate it and thinks it tastes like soaps. Mmmm I love it though.

I just bought four bunches of cilantro today... no lie!
And... I love pie.
Goodbye.

This is really interesting, Laurie. Like you, I really don't care for coconut, and it's one of a very few foods I try to steer clear of entirely -- there are only about three others. However, I think cilantro is one of the greatest edible things in this world.
Genetics could be one explanation. Food allergies could be another, but I doubt that you're allergic to cilantro; I'm not allergic to coconut. Foods that I dislike usually stem from one bad experience early in life -- for example, I'm not a big fan of eggplant, although I will eat it. This has got to be the result of having eaten a rancid eggplant when I was a little kid. I swore it off until I was well into adulthood, and still tend to avoid it, although there's nothing I inherently dislike about eggplant that's prepared correctly. I still don't like walnuts for the same reason, had some bad ones when I was a little kid.

Is chocolate satin pie a pie or a cake?
-
I'll admit it - coconut is a love it or hate it thing.
-
No, it isn't.
-

I'm just glad somebody said it first.
I have no beef w/ cilantro.
-
The people have spoken and come down correctly on this issue so far: pie is the superior treat. Warm or cold, fruit or cream filled, with friends or alone, in a 1940s automat or eaten out of the pan on my couch while watching Planet of the Apes – pie is the desert of the people.
BUT, the one thing I will give cake that has no pie-based comparison is the fun of cake decorating. The unlimited possibilities for both deliciousness and comedy, often at the same time, are something that pie will never have.

Pies are for smushin' in the faces of the snobs who love them so damn much.

I get a birthday pie every year.
-
so...is cheesecake a) cake or b) pie?
-
i vote that cheesecake is pie.
-
I'd classify cheesecake as a pie, but only technically speaking. In the same sense that pizza is literally a "pie", but not actually, you know, a pie. Like how dolphins are technically mammals and not fish.
(On a side note, I think the above sentence is officially the dumbest thing I've ever posted on the internet.)
-
I vote that Cheesecake is the ambassador to both parties. Cheesecake shall mediate all disputes and be present for the signing of all treaties.
Cheesecake shall have Diplomatic Immunity and park where it damn well pleases.
-
someone wisely pointed out in the chat that pizza is more of a tart.
-

I think what you mean is Pumpkin cheesecake. It's got the cake part, yet the added deliciousness of pumpkin pie. I think it's one of the most amazing desserts, especially at the cheescake factory. Jeez, now I'm getting hungry.
-
Guys, are you just joking around? There's no way Cheesecake is pie. It's right there in the name, cheeseCAKE.
Gawd.
First person to bring up cheesecake crust gets a pie in the face.

Can cheesecake kill guys and then yell "dip-lo-mat-ic im-mun-i-ty" like the South African guy in Lethal Weapon 2?
Seriously, Pie wins. The "icing" issue is a *classic* non-starter. Classic. Pies can also have icing. I submit to you as an example: The French Apple.

That's what you're bringing for a pro-pie argument? Look at that thing, that's a slice of pie with a cake toupee. It has cake envy. French Apple Pie is the James of Pies.
Advantage: Cake.

I'm not really sure that this holds up to closer examination. Who would eat a can of icing except someone in the throes of intense self-loathing? It makes me shudder just to think about it. Canned pie filling is also pretty gross, but at least it's somewhat food-like.
-
Canned icing.*

This is tearing us apart, FOT's. Let's see a little unity and make a singular stand for dessert. There won't be any survivors if this keeps up. We're going to be getting arrested in bakery's for picking fights with mom's on their way to kids parties.

Hell yeah, brah. I always like to burn one down when things get stressed around the house, too. Also when I'm relaxing in my bedroom after a hard day's work.

I hate the texture of coconut. I hate the taste (or lack thereof, really). I hate the fact that it sticks in your teeth no matter how hardcore you floss. HATE IT! Coconuts should be eradicated from the earth. Along with cilantro. SCORCHED EARTH.
i am too shocked to even reply.
also: pie so totally wins! cake is delicious, sure, but... PIE!
and the reason that there is always pie filling in donation boxes is because canned pie filling is super gross and should never be used. you can get away with a pre-made crust, sure, but pie filling should always be from scratch. if i were served pie with canned pie filling, i'd take one courtesy bite and then push that nonsense away.

Kentucky Thoroughbred Pie
recipe.
Oh goodness. I want one of these as long as the end result doesn't actually taste like thoroughbred.
And, JonFromMaplewood, I have enjoyed a birthday pie before. Key Lime. Delicious. Celebratory pie is awesome.
-
When I was little we lived in a house with no air conditioning so my mom would make me a birthday pie instead of a cake. It was so hot in the kitchen (August) she didn't want to turn on the oven.
Chocolatey birthday pie! She still makes it for me...

wait. i just figured it out! the pie lovers are siding with pie because it has an air of healthiness compared to cake. just because it has fruit in it (sometimes). they're both fattening slabs of sugar, fruit or no.
i am going to give up on this. i love pie too, so what's the bloody point?
i say at the next FOT get together (which will be the first I have ever attended), we serve both in a sign of solidarity.

Pro, obviously. You could put fresh strawberries and whipped cream on a turd and it'd be delicious. (I assume.)
It's not that great.

PIE > BROWNIES > CUPCAKES > CAKE
This is ABSOLUTELY correct! Yesterday I went to a pie bakery, which was of course delicious and delightful, and then when we went to visit my grandmother in the hospital where she is currently awaiting surgery the piece we brought her was the only thing she would eat. I just can't see cake doing that.

Brownies are cake with no frosting and no others bells and whistles. So how can brownies possibly be better than cake?
-
No no. Brownies have a different texture than cake. More butter and more chocolate or cocoa. They're dense and chewy.
Totally different.

In general, pie is better. So long as the crust is acceptable, you can hardly make a bad pie. However, a piece of good cake is better than the best pie. I would weigh 1,000 pounds instead of 500 pounds if good cake weren't so rare. If you say pie is best, then you might as well say Master of Pleasure by Jessica Trapp is just as satifying as Jane Eyre. Cake is the supreme winner. It's too bad I couldn't have said so when I should have said so.

What are you, running for office? Cake is the winner but pie is better? Get those 500 lbs off the fence.
-
I think what Julie is saying is that if the 10 greatest piemakers in all the world got together to make a pie, the best they could do would be to make a really good pie.
The 10 greatest bakers of cakes, however, would never be allowed to come together, both for fear of what they might create and because the risk of losing all ten of them in some accident or attack is too great. These ten men and women will only meet in the military bunker below Heart Mountain in Wyoming after the missiles have launched.
-
I can agree with that.
But bad cake is so much worse (and more prevalent) than bad pie.
-
What we can say conclusively though is that cake-likers have higher IQ's than pie-lovers.
-
But a larger ass.
-
Let's look at the facts:
1) I have a large ass
2) I am HIGHLY intelligent (as I'm so sure I've made everyone here aware of...)
3) I prefer pie to cake

Oh yeah they always had those when I was little... I remember having them at birthday parties.

Ok cake lovers, but what do have to say about your little drug addicted, runaway, black sheep of the family Funnel Cake?
(Image would go here, but I'm at work and don't have the time.)
And I'm rail thin and scored WELL OVER 1050 on my SAT's
-
cake is retarded.
-
If you say pie is better than cake because bad cake is more common than bad pie, then greeting cards are better than art and a sweater from target is better than a hand knit sweater.
-
argue with this logic:
I like pie better than I like cake.

No you don't.

I thought it was over the top that no one would take it seriously, but I guess not.

Let's look at the facts:
1) I have a large ass
2) I am HIGHLY intelligent (as I'm so sure I've made everyone here aware of...)
3) I prefer pie to cake
Call me.

ok, funnel cake is some good stuff, however, here in New England we call funnel cake: Fried Dough. so maybe it cant stand up on a national platform.
here are some arguments...
Pizza Pie vs. Pancakes pizza wins!
Pizza vs. Coffeecake Pizza Wins
Pizza vs. Funnel Cake Pizza Wins
Pizza vs. all three? well that would just be insane!

I thought taking it seriously was so over the top that you wouldn't take seriously, but...
nevermind. I'm so slow that I thought you were serious. Please accept my most humble and sincere appology. Is that how you spell apology?

Haha. Somehow I missed this.
Steve I'm sure there are a lot of nice big-bootied women out there in CA for you... just start hanging out at pie shops.

Wait, whuuuuuuuut? Oh, I see, now. I was responding to the "HIGHLY intelligent" proclamation. Yeah, that's it ;)

So yeah I just totally ate a piece of Birthday pie (a few days early) at my parent's place.
SO much better than any stinky cake I ever had.

that was subtle

oh whatever. I didn't mean anything by it.

What about a pumpkin flavored cake? In the shape of a pie?

Oh, I get it! Happy Birthday!!! What other birthday pies have been involved?
I'm going to get an ice-cream CAKE in honor of your birthday. I will also have them write "Happy Birthday" on it.

CAKE WRECKS!
http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/
Shucks. I wanted to be the first person to pass this on. It left me weak with laughter.
My hierarchy:
Cupcakes > Pie > Brownies > Cake
Cupcakes are the best? Yes. A little cookbook called "Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World" has allowed me, Triple-Decker Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes in hand, to convince lots of friends that being vegan isn't all about eating carrots and being miserable. It has also, with "Pineapple Upside Right Cupcakes" and "Chai Latte Cupcakes," given cupcakes the edge over pie by merit of giving me more creative recipes and exotic tastes to try. Cook Hard, kids!

Cupcakes are nothing but cake! If you like cake better than pie, then say you like cake better than pie. You sound like the kind of person who would have ratted on your neighbors for hiding people in their attic during WWII in Germany. Disgusting!

Not true. There's something aesthetically different about cupcakes and cake. If you offered me a piece of pie and a piece of cake, I would probably choose pie. If you offered me a piece of pie and a cupcake, I would probably go for the cupcake.
The "probably" is to account for weird flavor combinations: german chocolate cake would beat grape pie, blueberry pie would beat out plain yellow cupcake.
Put a piece of cake up against a cupcake of the same flavor, and I'll always go with the cupcake. There's something I like about the size of them, their perfect little shape, and how they're so very hard to share. I love them!

Sort of. They're humanlets.

The grad students in the psychology department at my workplace have semi-regular pie parties, where everyone bakes a different kind of pie. They're a great idea - lotsa fun and lotsa food. Each pie party so far has featured an experimental pie. This past weekend the experimental pie was:
CAKE PIE.
It was, basically, an affront to nature: a store-bought cake jammed into a pie shell, and re-baked. I didn't try it, and I expect to regret it for the rest of my life.

i expect myself to regret you not trying it for the rest of my life.

I tend to feel comfortable casually swinging both ways between the two "choices" - however, I did vote for, and have a default preference for, cake.
With that said, there is nothing more horrific within the world of cakes and pie than the pecan pie.
Seriously.
WTF is wrong with people?
-
I chose the obvious answer and that is BOTH.
Seriously, you cannot go wrong with either cake or pie. Who can possibly choose between a slice of apple pie or a slice of chocolate cake? You take both and worry about the consequences later.
However, brownies are my favorite baked good, more so than cake or pie.

I can't wait to hear PFT's next bit, Chicken Wings vs BBQ Rib Tips.

Cake all the way for me, carrot cake! ::)

Can I get some rationale for this insupportable position? I bet you voted for McCain.

A small wedge of well-made pecan pie topped with a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream is a thing of beauty.
-
It's pure sugar, Dave. That's gross.
-
they make a pie here at the bar behind my house: apple pecan. i take mine, a la mode. its pretty delicious.
-
Lemon Pie is the greatest of all pies.
-

Nonsense:
1 Cup White Corn Syrup
1 Cup Brown Sugar
1/3 Teaspoon Salt
1/3 Cup Melted Butter
1 Teaspoon Vanilla
3 Eggs
2 Cups Roasted Pecans

So I'm reading Going Clear (the scientology expose) and it says that brendan fraser considered himself too young for his role in Crash (as did Paul Haggis). Oldzonareveren (sp) immediately sprung to mind

Agreed! Add a scoop of ice cream and you are good to go! (And I cast my vote as such in the poll at the top of the thread...)
Although if it were ever to "truly" come down to it, I would have to say I would land squarely in the pie camp...

There's a band called Pie?
