This is the ultimate question. The supreme battle, more exciting than Alien vs Predator, Terminator vs Robocop, Superman vs Batman or anything else that can possibly be imagined.

And in the end,

Only one will win.

And so the question is, which will triumph? Pie...or cake?

Cake. Pie is gross.

I voted for pie. Because I love pie. Pumpkin pie, blueberry pie, peach pie. Hmmmm.

Cake vs Pie? Don't you know that wars have been fought over less? :eek: :p

I'm predicting that this will be the Cola wars x10.

Cake is good, but there's so many things you can put into pies.

Pie, no question. :)

Not that cake isn't okay sometimes, but pie is just a cut above.

Terminator vs Robocop

...

There's a movie about that?

Also cake.

I'm predicting that this will be the Cola wars x10.

Indeed. With myself as a firm partisan for pie.


I'll take all you lousy cake lovers on!

Cake.

Like totally. It's being directed by Uwe Boll, and it stars Amanda Bynes.

after that movie pie is just odd

Then we must duel to the death, as I am a warrior of cake. Choosing pie will mean death by my hand, so what have you, cake or death? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNjcuZ-LiSY)

be shit like AVP

Quite. But the golden age of sci-fi horror has long since passed, so what do you expect?

Pie of course. Its like asking who's more fit, Jessica Alba or Rosie odonell. No brainer really.

If by "fit," you mean "fit to clog a storm drain," it's gotta be Rosie. :p

fit to eat, though, it's gotta be pie!

You're missing out - he's pretty funny most of the time. I can't recall him ever mentioning pie or cake, but he has some funny material. :p

It's a guy in a dress - wouldn't be a British comic bit without at least some crossdressing, after all :p

However, I still say: Pie>Cake>Death. :)

Well! Jeez not my fault the brits make beautiful men. :p :D

*runs away*

Pie? What are you people smoking?

Definately cake. Unless it has custard, in which the pie would win.

Epic.

That's exactly it - a pie can be anything! :p Key lime, meat, apple, raspberry cream, chocolate mousse, pumpkin, lemon cream, etc. :)

Pi.
I refuse pie.

:fluffle:

Let's see... one of my friends would say pie without any hesitation.
I think I'm more of a cake person in general (with the exception of some beautiful tarts...), but I'm quite happy with both. :)

I mean, as long as the cake doesn't have custard. Custard=disgusting.

Agreement.
Plus, there are plenty of pies with custard as well.

I mean, as long as the cake doesn't have custard. Custard=disgusting.

Oh, right. Homemade custard can be good, I think. It's just that the manufactured stuff is so horrible it gives custard itself a bad name. :(

Ok, I'm making that cake today..

:fluffle:


:fluffle:
Spread the love!

I love mud pies, they are my favourite.:)

Uh oh.... the fluffle wars have been renewed! :P

Pie has fruit, usually. Cake does too, but only occasionally. Pie, therefore, is more nutritious and hence, better.

Another vote for PIE!:D

but cake has nice sugary icing on top! and you can wright worrds with icing. and you can have a birthday cake, not a birthday pie...rest my case

cake rocks!!!:)

Well, they're both easy.

"Easy as pie"

"Piece o' cake"

But pie looks like you're eating something gelatinous and unfinished. Especially apple, peach and berry pies. They look like -- I dunno -- placenta pastries or something *shudders*.

YOU! CAKE or DEATH?

Cake, please.

Cake is like the only thing. Pie tastes like crap.

Let NSG eat CAKE!!!!!

Cake.
Chocolate cake > chocolate pie.
Chocolate > everything else.

Cake.

Mhy isn't Myrth an option?

Pie. All the way.

Chocolate cream pie >>> chocolate cake.
Lemon meringue pie >>> lemon cake.
Apple pie >>> apple cake.
Blueberry pie >>> blueberry cake.
Cherry pie >>> cherry cake.

Etc. And icing is disgusting.

Pie is the supreme lord of all pastry delights! Cake is the slutty no gooder who steals the limelight. Long live Pie. Its flaky crusts, its sweet fillings, Its tendency to never need refrigeration! Cake is overrated! I'd rather have a birthday pie.

Is pie winning?

Pie is served hot and steamy!
Its fillings are all natural!
Apples
Cherries
Blueberries
Pumpkins
Sweet Potatoes



Cake is cold and stiff!
It clogs your mouth!
What are the ingredients for "pink icing"
something like a mixture of vividly colored yet toxic copper compounds

Pie is absolutely glorious!

Its the only dessert you can put meat in and it can be considered a meal!

Pot pies
Mince pies
Pizza pies
Quiche
Shepherd's pie

Hot and steamy? You stay the hell away from my cream pies and key lime and pumpkin, you freak. HOT strawberry pie? Barf!

:rolleyes: Like there are no pies stuffed with unknown ingredients or of inferior quality or artificial ingredients. "Pink icing" is no worse a heinous food coloring practice than the "neon green" key slime pies you find mass produced. Please, if you're going to argue, don't use mirrors what reflect your own argument back at you.

Guess what? If it's quiche, it isn't pie anymore. That's why they call it "quiche".

A "pizza pie" is just a pizza now. We're not in the 50s anymore. Either that or it's a calzone.

Pot pies, of which Shepherd's is a subset, count, I suppose, but then doesn't that make meatloaf a kind of cake? Or does the "-loaf" designation mean it's a bread relative?

Etc. And icing is disgusting.

That's reason #1 not to eat cake for me - icing is just not tasty, at all. :(

Lets see.....

Key Lime Pie

The main ingredient is listed right there!
Some whipped topping.
Crust. "Heck you can get a prefab crust at your grocer or just make it yourself which is pretty simple"
Boom cool delicious pie!

Lets see what are the ingredients for "cake"
Eggs
Powdered Mix
Flour
Veggie oil
Icing "wonder what thats made of ???"

Please don't try to make a point that obviously just makes you look like an ass.


Also "Quiche" is considered a pie, in culinary terms it pratically uses the same methods to make pies like apple pie it just has a different name!







Pie rules

hmmm... where do you classify "cheescake"?


Its a pie.

Cake is somewhat disgusting...let me remind you about "Fruitcake"
Just imagine blowing the candles off a slab of that for your birthday:mad:

Both good.

Voted pie.

Wow. Tough one. I gotta give the edge to pie. Why? Variety. There are only a few kinds of cake and a handful of ways to prepare them. Pies, however have numerous flavors. You could theoretically have any and every meal in pie form: Breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert. Hell, dessert pies have more variety than can be believed: Apple, cherry, blueberry, pumpkin, rhubarb, coconut cream, banana cream, chocolate cream, lemon merengie, key lime, sweet potato, pecan, strawberry, pineapple and various compinations of the above.

And then there's throwing. Pies are much easier to throw than cakes. *nod*

I will say this, however; the exploding cake is thoroughly hilarious. :)

It depends on which type of pie is being compared to which type of cake.

Both win! yummy!

Pie rules

Defensive much?

"Powdered mix"? If youre going to base your argument on what may or may not be in a store-bought cake mix, which by its nature needs to be full of stabilizers, preservatives and all kinds of stuff to ensure its survival in a box on a shelf, then I feel sorry for you -- nobody's ever bothered to bake you a cake from scratch. Trust me -- they're infinitely better than anything that ever came from a box.

As for your ignorance of icing, I see now that it comes from having, once again, never had anyone make you real icing from scratch. GOOD icing, like GOOD examples of pie, is made of actual ingredients you've actually heard of (I can't believe I have to point all this out):

Fluffy Chocolate Frosting recipe

2 cups confectioners sugar
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 squares unsweetened chocolate
6 tablespoons butter

Gee, that didn't take me but 10 seconds to look up. Here's the Web site it came from, which features many more icing/frosting recipes, should you be interested. But I doubt you are -- you seem far more interested in being needlessly belligerent.

http://www.recipegoldmine.com/cakefrost/cakefrost.html

Before you tell someone they're making themselves look like an ass, you should make sure you're not looking into a mirror.

There are crappy, mass-produced pies, just like there are crappy, mass produced cakes and icing. You deliberately missed my point about the glow-in-the-dark variety of key lime pie filling found in places like Denny's or Perkins or other chain-diners [news flash: the filling should NOT be bright green] -- if you haven't seen those, you've either not been out and about enough or you're just being willfully dense. And if you honestly believe that all a key lime pie takes is limes, whipped topping and a store crust, you have no idea what you're talking about.

Here's a representative key lime pie recipe from about.com -- feel free to seek out one of your own:

INGREDIENTS:
1 tsp. fresh lime zest
1/4 cup lime juice
1 1/2 cups sour cream
1 (14oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1 egg
1 10" frozen pie shell, thawed
1/2 cup whipped topping
Garnish:
12 Tbls. whipped topping
12 lime slices
12 maraschino cherries

See how the actual limes are being used for garnish? Lime zest and lime juice go into the filling, not the actual limes themselves.

If you wish to defend something, that's fine, but doing so by ignoring the points your opponent makes and then trying to infer that the opponent is the one in error is disingenuous at best and just plain jackassery at worst.

Personally, I dig both pie and cake, I just like cake a bit more.

thank you for those excellent recipes.

but cake still sucks

Well, if by 'pie' that includes both sweet and savoury varieties, then sure, it owns cake.

When I see a pie that comes with a stripper in, I'll consider voting for it.

thank you for those excellent recipes.

but cake still sucks

Well, that's your blinkered, philistinic, pig-ignorant opinion. To not just prefer pie but to actively hate all cake is just plain stupid.

Enjoy your pie.

ICE CREAM!

the only cake i've ever met i didn't like was a fruit cake.
pies, there are very few i can stand.

so cake before pie (unless its pumpkin, french silk, chocklet moose, that sort of thing, or meat pies, those are ok too, i mean reall meat pies or equivelent, oninon, chese and mushroom are ok too, pasties, pot pies that sort of thing)

but for sweet desert type stuff, cheesecake or ice cream or truffles or eclairs, napoliens, that sort of thing, befor even sacher torte, or some other wonderful chockletty goodness.

did i mention, any flavor of sweet stuff is alright as long as its chocklet. or green tea.
