This is why America > where you live.

Angel Food Cake

Black Forest Cake
Chocolate Sour Cream Cake
Cupcake
Gingerbread
Pineapple Upside Down Cake
Fruitcake (also a good insult word)
Sponge Cake

And...

CHEESECAKE. I can't believe not one of the pie lovers doesn't enjoy a good cheesecake. I'm sure we'd have full support from the females if we had any regular female members here.

When the hell did Gingerbread become cake? Isn't that a cookie....

But let us talk about cheese cake. Wikipedia defines it as:

Quote:

Cheesecake is a large family of sweet, cheese-based tarts and cakes.[1] Cheesecakes are generally made with soft, fresh cheeses.[2] Other ingredients such as sugar, eggs, flour, and liquids are often mixed in as well. Typically, the filling covers a crust, which may be pastry, cookie, digestive biscuit or any similar biscuit.

I want to key in on the part that says,
"Typically, the filling covers a crust, which may be pastry, cookie, digestive biscuit or any similar biscuit."

In my experience, the best cheesecake is the one with crust. Wait, what?

Isn't that like a pie?

A pie...in disguise?

Name another cake where crust is a typical integral part. That's a pie, baby.

Also, not to get technical, but if we are going to argue about types of cake, like carrot cake and stuff, then we should add "Pizza Pie" to the list.

yes, pizza pie is a pie.

I'm pretty sure that is check and mate bitches.

I'm just waiting for that last person to click on the little "pie" vote option....since they wouldn't want to be stranded alone on a desert island with just cake when us pie folk will be chowing down on our cheesecake, pizza pie, and pie mmm....

also blueberry cake? yeah right! blueberry pie is best thing ever.

Don't listen to him
Just trying to corrupt your mind
If he can call pizza PIE a pie
than cheeseCAKE is cake.

Semantics! Pizza has a crust and arguably a filling...just like cheese cake.

Also, it is slang in many places to refer to a pizza as a "pie."

I won't argue or try to argue that pizza is a dessert, because it is not. And this thread is the battle of the desserts.

Having said that, I still maintain that Cheesecake shares more qualities of a pie (filling, crust) than a cake. Even the way it is cooked and prepared mirrors a pie more closely than a cake.

Just because some drunk homeless guy called cheesecake "cheesecake" the first time it was named does not mean it was properly categorized.

Quote:

Despite their name, cheesecakes are technically tarts, that is, open-topped pies; the word 'cake' was formerly applied to a much broader category of foods than it is today.

I still prefer cake...don't I? I am so very confused now.

Cheesecake is technically a custard...

and custards are fillings for PIES, BITCH!

HEIL, PIE!!

Wow... that was inappropriate ;)

So wait, now "typically" means "has to always"?
Cheesecake is a cake.
Suck it.

You Canadians try so hard.

Your country is like cake...soft and mushy, and no one wants to fuck it.

:p

You Americans are so weak.
Always changing the topic when you're wrong to a bad insult. :-o

Did you guys know that on the eighth day, God created cake?

Pies however were made by the devil. The first one was filled with apples, you see.

3.14 sucks.
Cake all the way. A pie is just a failed cake.

3/14 is Saturday...Pi(e) day, bitches. Where's cake day? Nope, don't see it on my calender...

*disregard the fact that most people have cakes on their birthday and birthdays happen every day...*
