    So Buzzzfeed uploaded a video where people debate which is better, pie or cake. I am more of a pie person because it's just so much better then cake, but I wanted to see where most of the people on EC stand. Do you like cake or pie better?

    Cake. But not heavily frosted, please.

    I'm just not a fan of pie crust, never have been. I'd rather eat the filling (fruit... meat... vegetable... whatever) without the pie. ^^

    EDIT: I said cake and voted pie. Ah, brain. You are stupid. :slight_smile: Let's just say I was feeling sorry for pie, since it was totally losing.

    In general I'm a cake person but if it's one of those cake batter based, chiffon type, angel's food cake type, bready cakes then no. I only like cheesecakes, mouse or something similar. I'd eat pie but I don't eat the crust. Keylime would be the best.

    A kindred spirit! :lol: I only eat the filling. Something about the crust puts me off.

    Cake. All day, every day. The only pie I like is apple pie, too.

    I love both! I gotta say I lean more towards pie, but cakes with a ton of frosting is also deeelicious :icon_bigg

    I voted pie and only because it's easier to purchase in slices.

    However, it's impossible to say. Some cakes will send you orbiting and so will some pies.

    I love both; that is, when they're good.

    I like cakes like Victoria sponge, lemon drizzle, battenburg, that sort of thing, but I absolutely hate chocolate cake (weird considering I like chocolate). I really enjoy picnics and you can't have picnic without cake! It's also a great dessert, and they can look really pretty and decadent.

    Pie, on the other hand, is nice, but there aren't any situations where pie is essential. It's something I have for tea sometimes but just cannot get excited over it.

    In conclusion, cake is my preference over pie.

    I voted cake, because I don't like most pies very much (they're okay). However, cold pumpkin pie with ice cream and whipped cream beats everything. EVERYTHING!

    Why not wrap a lemon poppy seed cake, filled with lemon custard, in a pie crust? :grin:

    It's hard to choose.

    In general, I don't care for frosting. So this rules out most cakes for me. I at least don't consider frosting to be the best part of a cake and I prefer cakes with minimal light frosting. That said, there are many kinds of cake I do enjoy: petit fours, ganache cake, carrot cake, etc.

    Then again, apple pie, berry pie, pumpkin pie...those are tantalizing too, even if pies are sometimes too rich.

    Pie is best. I like almost all flavors, like apple, cherry, peach, etc.

    PIEEE

    Once, I ate 5 pieces out of a 6 piece raspberry pie and the only reason I didn't eat the 6th piece is because somebody ate it while I was eating the 5th piece. (Damn you Kyle)

    Sorry, bisexual here. I cannot...will not...choose between the two...not because I can't make up my mind about what I like, damn it, but because both are so good.

    Seriously, any "choice" I would make and vote would be meaningless. It would be based only on what sounds best to me in this moment...but later tonight, the choice would likely be different...or on more reflection I would decide that I was wrong initially...but on even more reflection, I'd change my mind again.

    In case it means anything, I'll say that this conversation and writing this response has got me thinking about all kinds of pies and cakes...and the net result has left me wanting pie...of whatever kind. But that's now. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Pie is best, especially ones like key Lime, Lemon Meringue and Banana Cream. Cake is too rich and over-rated.

    Down with cake!
