Cake v. Pie

[Pat K]

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.

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?

WITH CAKE. 

Case closed. Cake is objectively better.

I get a birthday pie every year.

[iAmBaronVonTito]

so...is cheesecake a) cake or b) pie?

[colonel panic]

i vote that cheesecake is pie.

[Pat K]

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.

[yesno]

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.

Oh yeah!? Well...I...um...hmmm. Uh....

CAKE IS BETTER!

Tom said it best when he said, and I paraphrase: "If you're eating a can of cake icing, it's like heaven.  If you're eating a can of pie filling, there's been some sort of disaster."

[Rockford]

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.

Cake is often more entertaining.
