Cake or Pie

[Angrist]

Ehm, what exactly is the difference? We only have 1 word: taart. Or maybe 2, if you count gebak.

I have to hold up the cake front. You realize there's more types than just birthday cake, right? Let me demonstrate:

Carrot Cake (by far the best)
Angel Food Cake
Devil's 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.

I would like to join the Cake Defense Force, but first I would like to point out that two people pointed out you could use pies for less than normal reasons as their defense... and come on... pies are for clowns to throw at people.

Now if you want to talk about something that is with you in good times... I mean as he said cakes are at birthdays and weddings. Time for celebration, which just goes to show the purity of the cake. You don't screw it in a movie. You don't deface it by using it as a weapon. You embrace it.

Let's start off with the grand-daddy of them all, cheesecake

So rich and creamy and delicious how can you go wrong?


I know I know.. You are drowling right now... but the ball is just rolling.

I am absolutely a cake person.

Who says you can't make sweet love to a cake?

Thanks for the awesome picture post.

Also, if you're on the fence, I heartily recommend that you watch the Ace of Cakes on the Food Network. That will turn you into a cake lover.

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


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

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.

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.

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.

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