Pie VS Cake: The Official Thread

[Bastille]

We need to get more people to vote. The polls are't doing anything. 

[Shaggy]

Ehh. 19 people isn't bad. We need to create awareness, though…hmm. Link it in our signatures, maybe?

(Btw, I like your siggy. Good poem.)

[Inquisitor]

2 moar vote 4 caek!!!!!

[sortitus]

Blasphemy! He is using the call of lawl for cake's cause! Off with his head.

Off with his head.

Apparently Henry VIII likes pie....Interesting.

Of course he does! Between the ages of 2 and 4 I refused to answer to anything but "The King of England". I also sang the song "I'm Henry The Eighth, I Am" and used the phrase "The King of England doesn't eat/do/clean [var]." Apparently I was just as crazy as a kid as I am now, which is comforting to me for some reason. *shrugs*

I have constructed a Venn diagram detailing a possible source of compromise: Cheesecake.

In the center of the cake square there you will see the Ocean of Decency. This is where cakes are actually quite delicious. Cakes in this area are of a perfect moisture, and can have a variety of frostings and toppings without getting out of hand with either. If you get far enough toward the corners you get deliciousness as well (Moist - Sweet Cream; Toppings - Flying Solo; Frosting - Caramel, Cotton Candy, etc.; Dryness - Wafers).

Pie has no corners, and so cannot be rated on so simple a scale. If I were to include all 360 degrees of deliciousness the diagram would look too busy and confuse half of the audience. You can assume that the degrees overlapping most centrally the square of cake are toppings, with the very center section made of the fruits. The 7th Circle is the most dangerous area to a pie-lover's palate, containing some of the most busy and evil pies ever made. While few cooks venture here, less return alive.

So, yeah! How about it, cake and pie dudes and dudettes? Cheesecake! It has the name of a cake and the deliciousness of a pie! (Naw, I'm just ribbing you cakers. But seriously. :|)

P.S. Has anyone else tried a pecan cheesecake? They are AMAZING!

It's probably a good thing that the Wedding never happened....Hayley never would've known what she was getting into...I'm sure she likes her head....on her shoulders.

My brother and my dad love it. I don't like pecans, so I'm not a fan. My favorite pie is chocolate cream, but I also really like ice cream pies--like strawberry in an oreo crust, with chocolate syrup on top. Delicious.

I voted for cake, though. Yellow cake and chocolate frosting? Mmmm. It makes me happy just thinking about it.

Yeah, you're probably right.

Chocolate cream is a good choice, and for the record my favorite cheesecake is cherry. Or is that sherry? Or is that Sherry?

There must be some genetic thing that makes it impossible for me to understand why cake lovers love cake.

Wherever you go, sortitus, you will always find bountiful supplies of ignorance. As you can see on this thread. *sigh*

There's no question about this.  A good pie will always be better than a good cake.  I'm not saying that there isn't any overlap.  There are definitely some cakes that are better than some pies, but when we're talking about the best of the best?  Man, no competition.

Quite obviously! Welcome to the battle, brother!

(as a side note: I will now start refering to all pie lovers as brother/sister, because it is cool, and makes us sound like we're some kind of cool 'Order of the pie' or something)

That's siggy material, that is.

[Eerongal]

We need order to our ranks. How about the following:

High Pie-ministrator (this could be only the leader's title. Also: Fellow Pie Supporters, we need a leader!! Who should has the filling to fit such a crust position?!)

High Knight of the Grand Pie  or High Dame of the Grand Pie

Knight of Crust or Dame of Crust

Scribe of the filling

Filling

Crust

Pie initiate

Wonderful ideas all. Welcome, Brother Dan.

Hmm. . . .Well, since sortitus started the thread, I think he should be the highest position. . . .How 'bout if you first posted on the 1st page of the thread you get one high position, on the 2nd then you get the next one down, 3rd and you get the next one down, and so on and so on until we reach the page which equals the lowest rank. After that, all posters whose first posts were on pages AFTER that are the lowest level. And sortitus can raise you. OR each time we get a new page, people progress one something like that.

It seems we have a nomination for sortitus, any one else fit for it, fellow pie-monauts? (for fairness sake, i suppose no nominating yourself, otherwise everyone might just pick themselves )

edit: Also, i suppose that since having a "leader" won't mean much if we give him some kind of power or something, he gets the power to give custom titles or something, outside of the standard ranks. Anyone oppose this?
