In the kitchen
Good morning! :wave3: And Happy Friday! :cloud9:

I'm making a lemon meringue pie for our Easter dessert and, while I was looking through my cookbooks for dessert ideas, I came out with our QoTD for today:

Do you prefer cake or pie? Both? Neither? What kind of cake? What kind of pie? What's your choice?

With me, it's cake. A white coconut cake, to be specific. The only pie that I really, really like is a good lemon meringue. I'm definitely on Team Cake!

You could be like my BIL. When my sister and BIL come for dinner, sometimes I'll have both cake and pie. I'll ask my BIL: Do you want a slice of cake or would you prefer pie? His answer is always: YES! :)

How about you?

Definitely cake. I'm not a fruit pie person so I lean more towards chocolate cream, etc if I do have pie.

Tough choice....would have to say cake but pies run a close second. Love
French silk pie.

I used to prefer cake. Now that I eat gluten free, I don't do very much of either.
I did recently have a craving for pie though. I made a gluten free pie crust and filled it with chocolate, whipped cream on top. That was good. But if I could have something now, gluten free style, it would be icebox fruitcake.

I've really picky about desserts. For pie I like the ones covered in those delicious crumbs. For cake I like crumb cake, pound cake, and wedding cake with the fancy frosting flowers and decorations.

Team cake! My two favorites are a buttery yellow cake with homemade cream cheese frosting (store bought cream cheese frosting is just GROSS), and strawberry shortcake (but not with the sponge cake most people eat. I like the crumbly cake that has a biscuit-like texture. It soaks up the strawberry juice really well and isn't too sweet).

I don't like pie. I'm not too fussy about cake as long as it's not cheesecake or chiffon type :barf:

I'm at Costco all the time and I've never seen that tuxedo cake. . .but I'm definitely looking for it next time!

I suppose I probably like most cakes more than most pies. Most pie crusts aren't so great and I don't like meringue. But I'm not picky, I'll eat them anyway :D (OK, I do scrape off most of the meringue and don't eat bad crust).

One thing I do that most people think is weird is that I pour some milk on my pie, and dip forkfuls of cake in a glass of milk (because cake falls apart if I pour milk on it). I don't like it dry, what can I say? :lol:

I like both. Cherry pie with cream or ice cream mmmm, a cream sponge cake mmm, cheesecake mmm. There are lots of yummy stuff of both types.

However, what I call a real pie is the savoury type such as meat, meat and potato etc. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
