I think you should cover the cake with whipped cream and coconut rather than tar and feathers.

My grandmother used to use some sort of cement based frosting. You had to crack it with a chisel. I hate cake.

Blame your grandmother, not cake.

Cake has a history of being duplicitious. How many criminals were smuggled a file in a cake? It's always kidnapping girls and hiding them inside...

The only thing ever hidden in a pie is a plum (or 4-and-twenty blackbirds)

I choose to blame Little Debbie, Empress of Evil.

I blame Mr Kipling.

He was the "Pimp Daddy" of pies AND cakes.

Why can't we be more like him and just love EVERYBODY.

Or is that Cobie I just described?

You've just gotta love that guy.

Curse that Kipling and his imperialistic cake. Give me the Revolutionary Republican Raspberry Flan.

Flan is wet cake.

What about soufflé?

What is the stance on soufflé?

Is it cake?

Or is it congealed vomit?

Enquiring minds want to know.

One of the things that cake has going for it (that pie usually doesn't) is frosting.

Frosting makes everything better! (Well, frosting makes everything that's sweet better; gravy makes everything that's savory better.)

But, in any event... can't we all just get along? I don't want to leave LW feeling like some kind of cake/pie civil war might break out and tear asunder the community.

Yes, Stu...if you leave and the civil war breaks out--IT'S ALL ON YOU!!!!

I'm not sure if I'd rather be hit with a pie, or a cake.

Does meringue count as frosting?

Admit that pie is superior or I will drop this moist double layer chocolate cake into the dirt!!!!

Y-you monster...!

If this escalates any further, the LMBP Leader may be forced to declare Operation: Dessert Storm.

I have proof that STU has WMDs (Whoopie pies of Mass Deliciousness)

Back away from the cake mister. No one needs to get hurt today.

Boston Creme Pie is superior!

Now give me the cake.

Thanksgiving weekend up here, so I succumbed to apple pie. Although my taste allegiance is with cake, I'm a bit of a traditionalist.

And squash pie. When I was a kid, we always had "pumpkin" pie because I didn't like squash.

I would urge any pie loyalists to be extremely wary of Boston cream pie. This self-professed "pie" is actually nothing more than two layers of yellow cake and a meager layer of custard, barely disguised by a thin veil of chocolate glaze. Boston cream "pie" is therefore significantly more cake than pie.

I wouldn't be surprised if Boston cream pie turns out to be the Benedict Arnold of the impending cake/pie civil war!

Something else else else that pie loyalists should carefully consider: very few -- if any -- true pies include chocolate. In contrast, chocolate has a long history in the proud cake heritage. It's a part of many, many cakes, as well as the frosting that adorns them. Who can turn down a moist, delicious devil's food cake, capped with a rich, deep chocolate frosting? I ask you: who can argue with chocolate?

In contrast, consider that many pies are little more than crust-covered delivery vehicles for fruit. Pies thus veer perilously close to the "good for you" food groups.

Just a little food for thought...

Also: with which side will the supporters of the other baked goods ally themselves? Will the cookie, brownie, and doughnut loyalists declare allegiance to the cake cause or to the pie movement?

The answer to that question could turn the tide of the cake/pie civil war.

One of my friends when I was growing up was allergic to chocolate. So, whenever any of our group had a birthday party, the cake and frosting could not be chocolate.

Chocolate allergy? Good grief, Charlie Brown!

I'll concede that chocolate is an often used weapon in the Cake Mafia's quest for world domination. But we Pie Patriots have our own powerful weapon - rhubarb.
