A couple of posts ago: I mentioned that pie was better than cake, and that I would expound upon that later. Here it is.

– First of all, pie is easier to make. You make a crust, and put something in it. With cakes, you need to worry about baking them so that they don’t fall, frosting them so there are no crumbs in the frosting, and all the hassle that comes with decorating them. While there is some hassle associated with making pie, it is to a far lesser extent; with pie, the finished product is what it is, there isn’t generally any decorating to be done after it comes out of the oven (there are obviously exceptions to this, such as with some creme pies).

–Pie is more versatile. As I mentioned above, a pie consists of a crust with something in it. This could be anything from apples, peaches or blueberries to lemon creme, chocolate creme or candy. You can experiment too, by mix-and-matching different parts of it. For example: a traditional apple pie could have a second crust, a lattice top, a crumbly top, or for an old-fashoned twist, you can make it into a cream pie, and make a kind of pudding/whipped cream mixture to top it.

So there it is. Don’t get me wrong now, I’m not here to “talk mess” about cake. Cake is awesome…..but dude….pie. That’s where it’s at.
