Tug o' War 5 - Pie (+1) vs Cake (-1)

88.

I've seen American Pie. Didn't like it, but I usually don't like those over the top comedy movies.

also are you sure you wanna put forth rhyming pie with die as a good thing =P

Not the movie American Pie! 😛

The 1971 song by Don McLean.

If it's paying tribute to an age of rock and roll we lost, then yes! That's the metaphor behind the phrase.

88. You can make finger sized cakes, i don't think you can do that with pie.

Ngl, I didn't click on the video. I saw American Pie and that dumb movie came to mind.
I dislike that movie to the point where I refused to click on the video xD

The song's sounds okay to me, but it's just not really my thing. The voice of the singer sounds nice though.

Maybe not finger-sized, but there are mini pies, and they are super cute, like something that belongs in a dollhouse.

I used by them to eat from supermarkets in my area.

Did I mention that I like Apple Pie? I did? Oh...

88. People eat cake when they get married, not pie

89.

Did I mention I made a peach galette this week after the apple one? Also nice!

I tried Apple Pie several times and I neither like nor dislike it; it's just there for me.
A nice Cherry Pie is much better imo

While it is more common to serve cake at your wedding, it is possible to make a wedding pie. Because there are lovely pies for this occasion, but they are rarer to see, that makes them all the more endearing to me, because not everybody has one.

Just looks like a stack of individual pies to me tbh.
Wedding cakes are probably individual segments too, but at least they look connected as a whole.

89.

Yup, that's exactly what wedding cakes are too, cakes of different sizes stacked on top of each other. It's just that they often put a lot of extra frosting on the exterior, so that might make it less noticeable. If you look at a cake that is not using much you can see how it works, like this one that is just putting a little whipped cream between the layers.



I personally think that both the wedding cake and pie look tasty. Til cakes having little to no frosting is a style called a "naked cake". Nothing wrong with simplicity in my book.

Also not all wedding cakes even have tiers to connect. It's just a matter of preference.

Cakes Are easier to decorate!

I bought me some pound cake at the baker today 🤤
The ones from the supermarket tend to be a bit dry, but the baker's pound cake is just 🤤
Haven't had one in a while... no special occasion, but for pound cake there need not be one =3


I've only been to one wedding and I was still young so I don't remember what kind of cake they had... I think it had two layers? I don't remember lol

Some adorable wedding favors/keepsakes I stumbled upon a photos of. They are heart-shaped pies on sticks like lollipops. Don't tell me they're not cute!

Pie crust to me is much more difficult to get right, but also much more rewarding when it actually turns out good!

88. Bundt cakes 🤤

87.

Most cakes 🤤
Certain types of pie 🤤

For me it depends on the type of cake. It also depends on type of pie, but while the cake has to always rise or fall completely on it's own, with pie it's a collaboration between the filling and the crust. Ideally both parts of the pie knock it out of the part, but if one underperforms then the other could still save the day, i.e filling that's too jelly-like not enough fruit, but substantial, crispy and flavorful, yummy crust will still make the pie worth finishing, or the other way around, not enough crust or it's bland or has a doughy texture but the filling is perfect, never runny, tastes fresh and well-balanced with succulent, big pieces of fruit, then you're still in okay territory.

With cake you have only one chance to get it right as I see it.
