Instead of have a mod split the posts out into a new thread, I figured id create it outright. > [@Unpopular Yoyo Opinions](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/unpopular-yoyo-opinions/296554/441): > > No Way ! Cake \> Pie. That said, what kind of pie were you thinking? I was thinking pie in general; apple, pumpkin, berries (all kinds), banana cream, pecan, lemon meringue, etc. Pie is just flat out amazing and blends the flavors of sweet, tart, salty, and savory in a way that even “artisan” cakes can’t even compete with. ---

Pies are worse because they’re too much about the fruit inside. I prefer bakery confectionary sweets, none of this made-by-nature nonsense! (I don’t mind a bit of fruit topping on my cakes though. But inside? All the nope.) ---

It depends… My mum made a very tasty french pastry butter cream cake with half inch frosting. Also a dark chocolate layer cake with great fudge frosting. On the other hand my wife makes great french silk chocolate pies, as well as pecan or apple pies that are great as well. ---

That’s a hard question to answer. I’m much more of a pie fan, the sweet viscous almost glaze like consistancy of the filling has always been such a treat with good non soggy crust, adds something that to me was always more enjoyable than cake, I’d felt that cake while good, didn’t offer a satisfying mouthfeel because I’ve never liked icing very much. It’s always left this unneeded greasy feel in my mouth if it was a buttercream or the regular store bought, but one thing cake can’t really match is intensity of flavor when compared to pie flavor, but that’s not a negative, lets take Lemon pie, compared to Lemon cake: With the pie, the filling is sweet, tangy, bright, almost refreshing if it’s not too sour or sickly sweet, while in cake form, Lemon cake has this delectable softness to it’s flavor that you can’t find anywhere else, it’s like a soft hug from a blanket that makes you wish it was a pillow so you can sleep on it’s lightly scented almost spongy texture. but what’s even better is you can reinforce that flavor with that same bright zesty refreshing taste in the icing itself. it’s a hard question to answer, I’m much more of a pie man myself, but cake is pretty good when make well. ---

Team pie 100%. Way better than cake. Or, even better, you go full fruit crisp (or crumble, depending on where you are from). ---

Cornish pasty is good, and i do like alot of different pies, but its just not cake. Pie is very much utilitarian, whereas cake is just decadent unashamed luxury. I mean if you were going to work in the fields all day you’d take pie or a pasty, whereas if you were going courting it’d definitely have to be cake, possible some kind of chocolate affair. ---

> [@anon29745795](#): > > Actually believe they’re different. So, I’m not going to argue with you much because in my experience, names for recipes like these are heavily dependent on regional location and family history. That said, I think it is more common to differentiate like this…Neither have a bottom crust and the toppings may or may not completely cover the fruit. However: Crumble: Toppings that are some combo of flour, butter, and sugar, etc Crisp: Toppings are similar to crumble but include oat/etc flakes (and sometimes spices or nuts) for a bit more of a “granola” style. And in any case, I hear people use the two terms (and honestly, cobbler as well) pretty interchangeably. At the end of the day, I will eat any/all of them happily.
