Tuesday, March 16, 2004 at 1:00 AM Adam was waaay off on that one. Of course theres always the outside chance of getting a really good pie, or a really bad Cake. But for the average cases, theres no comparison, Cake, "takes the Cake" (ba-dump-bump). In fact, pie should be on the list of white trash foods. Its really that bad. —ZT |

Tuesday, March 16, 2004 at 4:10 AM Actually, I reaally like Pie, but I've been told more than once that I'm white trash.
So it's all good and dandy. —JooJooBee |

Tuesday, March 16, 2004 at 6:33 AM What do you like to put on your hot dog? Cake is for retards and 8-year-olds. Don't try to count cheese cake as a cake either. It's too dense and often comes in a pie tin - sounds like a pie to me. Ice cream cake is the only true cake that can holds it own against pie. —gaelenh |

Tuesday, March 16, 2004 at 7:13 AM Agreed. Birthday Pie is all I have now, and i'm spreading the word too. That thick nasty lard sugar frosting is so nasty, i don't know how anyone can deal with that. —Tyler |

Tuesday, March 16, 2004 at 9:04 AM Cake is easier to make, but it tastes terrible, unless it's a really good chocolate-raspberry layer cake or dense cheesecake (which isn't really cake.) That sheet cake garbage that people use to celebrate birthdays is just lard and flour. It has no taste. Pie is delicious. I'm with Adam all the way on this. —Joy |

Tuesday, March 16, 2004 at 1:14 PM i agree with adam on this one in general, however my birthday cakes where always of the homemade variety, not crap sheet cakes from the store, so they tasted good. in this case i take cake over most pies :) —gordanfreman |

Edited Tuesday, March 16, 2004 at 5:10 PM I like pie. Apple, Lemon Marangne (sp), pumpkin, strawberry ect. Cake is worse for you because of fat and stuff, and with the frosting its sometimes just too sugary. You gotta have a good baker to get a good cake I'll tell ya. And cakes can come in cool designs like power rangers or star wars, and pies cant. But, I'll stick with pies. someone bake a loveline themed cake and take a picture for us. Maybe for like the sites birthday, whenever that is. —Darkfloyd |

Tuesday, March 16, 2004 at 5:30 PM For those of you who don't know how to make pie, here is a good approximation you can adapt to most any recipe. 1.) Starve yourself for one day.
2.) Eat about a pound of whatever it is you want to fill your pie with.
3.) Immediately after your finished eating, vomit the entire contents of your stomach in to a large bowl.
4.) Mix a lot of sugar in with your vomit, and maybe some ice cap lard for good measure.
4.) get flour and water and make pie crust.
5.) put pie crust in pie pan, put vomit/sugar/lard mixture on top of pie crust.
6.) put more pie crust over your vomit.
7.) bake
8.) Enjoy! That should match the consistency and taste just about perfectly. —ZT |

Wednesday, March 17, 2004 at 9:48 AM Let's say it straight, of course homemade cake from scratch by an accomplished homecook or a caterer is going to taste really good. But most of America gets it's cakes and pies from a supermarkets or some other outlet that mass-produces them. If that is the baseline, I'll take mass-produced made pies over cakes anyday. In fact, where I come from, they're usually cheaper as well. The worst things about most mass-produced cakes is that the cake itself doesn't have much taste except for sugar. This is especially the case for white cake, but most chocolate cake isn't much better. The frosting on cakes could be used for spackle, and once again, doesn't have much taste except for sugar. Even the worst commercially made pie is made to a higher standard, as the crust has to be a least passable. This is a prime example in how people don't really eat for taste, but accept what they eat for more socially conventional reasons (or for self-medication) for things that have nothing to do with flavor and taste. For most Americans, it seems as if it is sickeningly sweet or fat, it's good eats.
Adam likes to rant about how a lot of restaurants in SoCal have to "special-up" everyday stuff like cole slaw, but I'd rather have those who cook actually try to do something different than to make something routine. If you really want the routine stuff there's a place for it, it's called Denny's. Making cole slaw at home isn't rocket science either. Adam should get his assistant to work on that.
btw...cheesecake is a misnomer....the filing is a custard, so it's in no way a cake. —GDG |

Wednesday, March 17, 2004 at 12:05 PM The possibilities are limitless with pie.
You can have the old fashioned kind with crust and fruit,
chocolate pie, peanut butter pie, key lime pie,
cheesecake pie, yes it is a PIE,
damn near anything.
With pie you can have REAL good ingredients.
All cake has going for it is the sugary frosting.
There's really not much else to like. —Puff |

Wednesday, March 17, 2004 at 2:59 PM Puff, as someone who legitimately doesn't give a shit, I have to call you out on your claim. Pies are much more limiting in terms of options. All you can really alter about them is the filling. Occasionally, you can switch to a graham cracker crust or throw some whipped cream on top (but only if it's a cream pie). But they don't offer much in terms of variables. Cakes, on the other hand, can offer numerous variations, including: - the cake itself (white, chocolate, yellow, rainbow)
- frosting (plain, whipped, chocolate, rainbow)
- filling (cream, fruit, more frosting, custard)
- decoration (the one undisputable thing that a cake has going for it better than pie) And let's not forget oddball (but still legitimate) versions like carrot cake, ice cream cake, cheesecake, etc. Like I said, I don't really care about which is better, since I don't really eat either one. But what I *DO* care about are all the morons who blindly follow anything Adam says and repeat it verbatim ("Anyone who likes cake is retarded"). The man is a comic genius, yes, but he isn't always right. Learn to think for yourselves. —Agent 007 |

Edited Wednesday, March 17, 2004 at 9:11 PM >Like I said, I don't really care about which is better, since I don't really eat either one. Nevertheless, you did use a lot of words and thoughts to express your opinion on the subject. >But what I *DO* care about are all the morons who blindly follow anything Adam says and repeat it verbatim ("Anyone who likes cake is retarded"). The man is a comic genius, yes, but he isn't always right. Learn to think for yourselves. Adam said it best and I'm paraphrasing, if you're not smart, copy those who are smart. If someone has a joke or says something of keen and unique insight and if another agrees with it and repeats it, does that make them a moron? Most people don't think for themselves a lot of the time. Live with it. In my experience most of the people who I've heard say such an empty and pedantic advice as "think for yourselves" don't really do that themselves. —GDG |

Wednesday, March 17, 2004 at 10:08 PM The Wedding Photographer mentioned butter cream frosting for cakes. Has no one tried whipped cream frosting on cake? Just request it when ordering the cake at the bakery. It's the only way to make cake palatable. If you haven't guessed, I vote for pie. —roadrage |

Edited Thursday, March 18, 2004 at 10:43 PM Agent 007 - Let me make my point more brief: Complaining about those who follow Adam on a Loveline "fan board" is like you going to a Barbara Striesand concert and complaining about all the gay gushing love for her. It's pointless. Now you may have a point about those here who don't think for themselves when it comes to one of Adam's more controversial topics, (Adam does contradict himself all the time if you take all of what he says seriously) but this topic is about frickin' pie. —GDG |

Edited Friday, March 19, 2004 at 7:27 PM I think cake is disgusting and tastes like sh%*. I'm not a moron, I listened to Adam's point and happened to agree with him. Don't generalize and assume that I can't think for myself. I shouldn't even have to be defending myself, people who like cake over pie are terribly misguided. I've heard Drew and Anderson agree with Adam on this "issue" so it's not like Adam was in on this alone either. —OldTrafford017 |
