As a whole, which is better? None of this "Well... it depends on the particular cake or pie" nonsense. We really need to reach a proper conclusion to this controversial issue ASAP.

Every member who is registered must answer this question here in order to stay registered.

The choice is tough for me. But I think I will choose pie because there are more varieties that I like than types of cake.

Tally so far:

Cake = 0
Pie = 1

(I will attempt to keep this updated unless I get lazy or something).

Pie, although I will never refuse cake. My favorite is chicken pot pie. Oh wait, I bet you mean like dessert pies. OK, well then my favorite pies are pumpkin with whipped cream, lemon meringue (sp?) (must be very tart), chocolate cream, apple warmed up & a la mode. Or most any pie, but not mincemeat. Who the hell invented mincemeat pie anyway? That's not pie, it's something else, not sure what, but not pie. Also not crazy about rhubard pie but I'll eat it.

Cake is better for me, because there are hardly any cakes I won't eat (as long as they don't have excessive amounts of chunks of non-cake stuff, like fruit, in them).

Pie is good but there's really only about 4 kinds I like; the rest are OK for throwing at people, but I would rather not eat them.

Having said that: My mom's apple pie is one of the best things on this or any other planet.

What about cheesecake? Cheesecake is not pie, but it is not, strictly speaking, cake either. Also, to be served properly, it must be cut with a piece of wet monofilament fishing line. No shit! There's actually a place in San Francisco (Zanze's) that includes a piece of Stren® with every order. Plus, it lasts in the freezer for, like, ever. My g.f. and I split a piece of Key Lime cheesecake at The Cheesecake Factory Sunday night that was so good, I ran out into the parking lot and yelled about it. So if any of you were over at Smith-Haven Mall the other night, that was me.

So my vote is for cheesecake, unless its uniqueness among desserts disqualifies it, whereupon it's pie. Although, frankly, I'm going thru a big cupcake thing right now.

I think I will go for pie. [thumbsup]

Apple Pie with Vanilla Ice Cream
Chocolate Cream Pie

Cheesecake would be the next favorite in line.

I would say cake. Chocolate is a major favorite. Although if Joe sends me a really nice pecan pie, I might change my vote. With some ice cream on the side, please.

I like cake, but most cake is simply a delivery system for frosting (kind of like how most potato chips are a delivery system for salt).

My vote goes to pie.

Put me down for both. They can be equally as good and as my saying goes "too many items on the menu.... not enough time to eat em all!"

Gee, I woulda said the dip... really, who on earth even considers the salt when eating the chips.

CAKE....I'll go with a good ole bakery cake with tons of icing. How's bout a red velvet or carrot cake? My all time favorite would be chocolate on chocolate.

Cake.

You get icing with cake. Icing is the best thing about a cake but only when it comes on a cake. You wouldn't eat more than a spoon full of icing unless it was on a cake.

Icing on a pie would be just plain weird.
You could have whipped cream on a pie but you can also have whipped cream on cake too. Whipped cream on cake isn't as weird as putting icing on pie.

You can have ice cream with pie but you can also have ice cream with cake.

Then there's chocolate.
Yes, you can have a chocolate pie but, since you can't have icing on a pie (unless you are weird) you can't have CHOCOLATE icing. If you want chocolate icing, it has to be on cake.
If you had chocolate cake with chocolate icing and chocolate sprinkles on top, plus ice cream with chocolate chips on the side, you've got a combination that's miles ahead of pie!
With a squirt of whipped cream on top, you've got a winner! Hands down!

Cake rules!
