Cake vs Pie: this could get messy.

I am very passionate about cake. It would be very easy for me to simply say, "Cake is better and pie sucks. The end, xoxo Gossip Melissa" and leave it at that. However, logic and dialectical disputes have taught me that you must consider each side of the argument. For this comparison, see below plz:

Cake: Pros:
-Creative License: you can get very creative with cake. Ultimate Cake off, Cake Boss, Cupcake Diva's and Ace of Cakes are all Tv shows. For some reason, this doesn't quite work the same way with pie. Creativity is important, and cake is very conducive to imagination. See here, plz. And here
- Tasty Options: Cheesecake, ice cream cake, petit fours, cupcakes, smores cake, orange creamsicle cake, nutella chocolate chip banana cake, cookie dough cupcakes, poptart flavoured cupcakes and countless other choices are available for cake. There is also the option of including mousse in the filling, creating a mixture of cheesecake and cake, including chocolate and fruit, becoming adventurous with mediums (I saw a cake made of meatloaf), and making a cake with different flavours in each area (think half-creamsicle with raspberry bottom? Ooh la la)
-Emotional Significance: Who the hell has a wedding pie? How do you celebrate Baby's First Birthday with a piece of cherry pie? Can you resign from your job with a cake? A man named Neil did that. For some reason, stating that you're going to blow out the candles on your birthday pie does not quite carry the same connotations as saying I'm going to go have birthday cake. This could change, but it has become assumed knowledge that Cake is the way to go for celebrations.

Cons: Storebought cake can taste stale, and if a cake is not made right it pales in comparison to other desserts. I always say that if you hate cake, you've never had a real cake. To be honest, I don't always say that. I just made it up. But it's true.

Pie: Pros:
-Pie has lots of fruit. Fruit is nice.
-Pie crust is Delishdkfusd

Cons:
-Crust is the best part of pie.
-Cooked fruit is slippery and gross. Fruit should be eaten in natural form, not cooked into a mush for a toothless wonder.


There. Problem Solved. However, if you're feeling in the mood for a compromise, you should look into making a delicious treat that involves cookies, cakes, and pies.
