Cake vs. Pie...the final showdown!

[InflatableBuddha]

We've argued about this for ages, but it appears there is a tournament underway to finally answer the question, cake or pie?

It's already 5 days in, but there will still be plenty of upcoming rounds to vote on. You can still vote on today's bracket (Carrot v. Black Forest, Cherry v. French Silk)

LOL...2 posts in and we're already disagreeing.

You see - this is why we need the tournament!

There is no disagreement. People who think that Pie > Cake are just simply wrong.

That is all.

One thing that I have learned, is that this will not be the final showdown.

How the frick is "birthday cake" an actual cake? there are no standards here! This bracket is Rigged!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ZaneNBK]

If it doesn't come down to Carrot Cake vs. Pecan Pie the whole thing is fixed. I'm preemptively declaring shennanigans!

So much fail, KT.

Ice Cream Cake is a failed attempt to bring a dessert accompaniment to the forefront of dessertdom. It is an abortion of a dessert that has nothing to do with the true art of baking, developed by miscreant morons that were unable to prepare a proper dessert. It should be stricken from the Earth. It is barely ice cream, it is not cake, what the hell is it? It's a failed science experiment is what it is, like 3D movies.

your rant impresses me, and I am starting to take your side with pie. especially with the whole "birthday cake" debacle in that bracket.

Except that there have already been a bazillion such polls on ATOT. I thought a 3rd party might finally help us settle this .

No shepherd's pie? What about quiche? Quiche is the best pie IMO.

 

[guyver01]

I think the answer is simple.

In some instances, Cake > Pie
ie: Black Forest Cake > Banana Cream Pie.

In Some Instances, Pie > Cake
ie: Coconut Custard Pie > German Chocolate Cake

In Some Instance, Pie = Cake
ie: Cherry Pie = Strawberry Shortcake

 

[dbk]

cake >>>> pie >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ice cream cake (ew)

This is all about sweet pies, not savory. If we're going for savory, we might as well include all the yummy creations the Brits and Aussies have - Steak & Guinness, pork pies, kidney pies, etc.

/off to find an international pole :hmm:

I'll leave this decision making to people with far far more time on their hands than I...because I just don't give a shit.

And thus is another reason why pie > cake. The only savory cakes are the crappy fruitcakes people recycle for years as doorstops.

And I only say savory because they certainly aren't sweet.
