Wedding cake is an ornament, not a true dessert. Most weddings you go to now have dessert... and the stale cake that no one eats.

Again, pie does not need ornamentation. Being pie is enough.

To get this thread back on topic...

What is pie?

I believe this is one of the reasons I like cake more - even some of the more esoteric cakes like carrot cake still have a cake-like quality that makes them "cake". You can always tell a cake when you bite into one.

What about a pie makes it a pie? How can one say that they like "pie", when the varieties of pie are so large and different. Apple, rhubarb, key lime, butterscotch, chocolate, cherry, meat....

While most pies are superb, I tend to prefer cake since it's typically not as rich and can be enjoyed at any time, despite how full you may be.

I also like my cake plain without any sort of icing, though.

But, as a cake lover, I do agree that the crust is one of the best parts of a pie.

What is the best cake?

Cheese... and that is a CUSTARD PIE!

Not once will you find the word "pie" on the wikipedia page for cheesecake. Are you claiming to know more than the all mighty wikipedia?

And if it was pie (which it's not) it's obviously embarrassed to be called such.

I don't but Food Network's Alton Brown does...

It is pie. There is no leavening in a cheesecake. Instead, its heart is eggs, dairy and sugar, making it a custard, and it sits on a CRUST.

PIE!

I love wikipedia!

Mister Professor, the definition of pie is basically anything on pie crust. That's like saying you like hamburgers because of the bread. What a silly notion. Silly I say! Silly!

You say this like this is fact. If anything, cake is often not good on the basis that it is mandatory eating at events. Cake is expected at birthdays, weddings, etc., so it is not uncommon to get some dried out, crappy frosting, ass-cake.

Since pie is a selective desert, it is baked and served in much more methodical fashion. I cannot recall the last time I had a slice of pie and went, "oh damn, this frosting tastes like that nasty shit you buy in the baking isle at your local Jewel/Dominicks/Whatever store."

Considering that the demographic of TLC are people who are also attracted to shiny objects it only makes sense that the emphasis is on how the food looks and not how it tastes. Jeez even BaBzie feel into the trap. Little does he know that I supplied the cream frosting for his superhero cake.

Pssshhhh, spoken like a true Canadian. Pizza has crust, and New Yorkers, Chicagoans, and Fart Sniffers across the United States argue about crust all the time. We love crust.

And if we are playing this "other food game," we'll take pizza-pie and you can have crab cakes!

The cake is a lie. Portal tells us so.

Taken out of context.

The lie is that if a particular cake which was promised is real or not.

Thats just weak political tactics.

By that logic I say that all pie must be bad because people only use it to throw at each other, and never eat it.

See though, if it was pie, you would have died at the end of portal.

Because even if the pie was a lie, you would have tried to get some anyway.

Its not giving up. Hes telling me what i would do in a situation, witch couldnt be further from the truth. Hes fabricating lies. Pie people do that, in order to tell themselves pie is good. which makes me think that all pie enthusiasts are masochists.

Plus no pie aficionados have addressed this:

I happened to make custard pie yesterday. But I didn't use any crust. So it wasn't a pie. Just an awesome bowl of custard. Which could have only possibly been better if I had some cake with it.
