But i went with cake, because i've had a lot more of that lately than cooter. :(

Hmmm... interesting. But if you have to chose to settle with cake, or pie, which will it be? We can't really mix cakes with pies, or can we? That's a thought... :evil:

Pie, because it's easier to make pies healthier than it is cakes.

Plus, pies are just better.

Fap Away NSFW

Cakes remain on top.

but those cupcakes were pretty tasty lookin...



and really, cupcakes are mini cakes.

im a pie fan also, cakes are usually too... cakey for me. ive tried the dinner cakes as well, but they dont top a specialty pie. breakfast pies rock, as do meat pies. turkey pot is still one of my favest pies.

We're settling this matter once and for all, right here.

Here's the way I look at it.

Cakes:

You can eat cake, anytime of the day.
Cakes don't go bad as quickly as pies.
There are infinitely more available flavors, recipes and style of cakes than pies.
Cakes are everywhere, people use cakes in virtually every occasions. From weddings, to birthdays, to just having a cake and eat it too. You don't hear "... have your pie and eat it too..." do you? HUH?
Hollywood stardom? You got it! Cakes were featured in many more movies, and the ratio of cakes to pies are just too large to count.

So, whenever I feel like something sweet, I can always have a cake. I don't need to bake any pies, messing with pans, and stuffs. Cakes are always available, from everywhere.

Cakes >>>>> Pies.


Pies:

... (this is where you rebut).

you do know you can buy pre-made pies too? :confused:
i'm all for cake, but at least get your info straight.

According to IMDB:

Cake: Titles (Partial Matches) (Displaying 74 Results)

Pie: Titles (Partial Matches) (Displaying 131 Results)

You fail.

Pie is still pie, no matter how you slice it, or no matter how many terrible "plots" you try to put around it. ;)

Ah, but quality > quantity, thus cake may be the victor.

You have a fair point.

Perhaps if anything this shows that they may very well be...

EQUAL!?!?

"A cheesecake is a sweet, often cheese-based dessert. The combination of its crust and soft filling (typically containing eggs, cream, and a soft fat-like cream cheese) means the various varieties often resemble custard based desserts like buttermilk pie or creme brulee more than traditionally firm cakes. This places it firmly in the pie category, rather than (as its name would suggest) that of cakes."
