Bold fail.

Cake but we all know that the cake is a lie. However, I'm still voting for it.

I don't think I have had any pies apart from the meat pies.

Everynow and then I'll go for a cake haven't had a pie in ages so my vote is to cake

I've never cared much for cake. Most of the time, it ends up being very disappointing. It always looks so good, but the flavor is always lacking in comparison to the general appearance. This is why I never actually ate any of the cake even at my own birthday parties as a kid.

"Happy birthday, here's disappointment!"

White cake was the worst. That stuff doesn't taste like anything. It's like eating sweet tofu, but with 60-70% more air, and 100% more likely to give you an undeserved stomach ache. As I recall, yellow cake tasted exactly the same, looked almost identical, and had that same horrible frosting that was like eating death itself. That frosting made me sick as a kid, and still makes me sick to this day.

And even cakes that aren't venture capitalist birthday cakes are still disappointing. In my opinion, it always takes a miracle to make a cake taste better than it looks. I'm not sure if I've ever had a cake that I've wanted to have a second piece of.

Pie, on the other hand, is always full of flavor. Fruit pies especially. I'd take a cherry or a peach pie or a blueberry pie over a boring chocolate cake any day. And the filling is actual food and not just some sweet spongy amalgam that makes you question whether or not you want to throw up.

I vote for pie. I don't mind cake, but what can beat a pumpkin pie with whipped cream on Thanksgiving?

Nothing. The answer is nothing.

but what can beat a pumpkin pie with whipped cream on Thanksgiving?

I'm voting pie. But the only reason I am doing that is because pie can do so much more. Like have pepperoni on it... or meat.

Cake. Nuff said.

Pies can be sweet and savory. I prefer pie over cake because of their versatility.

I vote for pie...cake can be made of air. jk :P

I've tasted a fancy cake. I like it...but my vote still stands.

Definitely pie. As a kid for birthdays my family didn't even really eat cake. We always drilled holes in a watermelon and stuck candles in it..... But I do like pie. That would have been a great option. Don't know why nobody ever did that in my family....

I really think they should start a different battle.
