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

I do love quiche. I'll be whipping up some leek and chevre mini-quiches tomorrow night for a potluck on Friday. Yum yum!

Pie is better. Cheese cake is pretty damn good, but other than that... Meh. My lady friend insists adamantly that cake is better, though.

I've never tasted a pie that was nasty. I've tasted plenty of nasty cakes though.
Pie > Cake

Cheese cake is pretty much my favorite dessert, so since it's a pie I vote pie.

I do like cake batter though...

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.

While you have a well formulated rant on your hands, I have to disagree and declare that ice cream cake is, in fact, a fantastic hybrid of two scrumptious desserts, a "best of both worlds" if you will. Also, it has those yummy little cookie pieces .. faaaannntastic! You are right, it is barely ice cream, it is most definitely not cake, it is, in fact, the best of each!

Cheesecake is the greatest cake ever...so cake > pie



GO!

Like many others have posted, I believe you have made a mistake.

You should check your sources regarding the food classification of cheesecake.

It is telling that the greatest 'cake' is actually a pie.

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

....and....we have a politician checking in....

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

a birthday cake comes with an extra tingle where you know that this cake was meant for you and only you. .... you might have an argument if the candles were incense sticks laced with pot, tricking you brain into thinking "THiS iz DA b3sT 5h1t EV4RRRRRR!!!"
