Favorite type of pie

So wouldn't cakes fit in the same description given by Mr Xevross above?

"Cake is a form of bread or bread-like food. In its modern forms, it is typically a sweet baked dessert. In its oldest forms, cakes were normally fried breads or cheesecakes, and normally had a disk shape. Determining whether a given food should be classified as bread, cake, or pastry can be difficult."

What's better than a Pecan Pie?

TWO PECAN PIES!

I've always wanted to try those pies you see in kid cartoons all the time. Look so delicious. I don't think many here eat pies often

That's too bad.

Well, a pie is made with pastry. Cakes, generally speaking, not. The only cake I know of which has pastry incorporated is a Napoleon cake.Cake is a pastry.Not to be mean ,because i don't have alot of info,but... how can you not know cake is a pastry?!Asked by Kylenater. The easiest way to answer this question is with this, a pie has a some sort of a crust, hence cheesecake being a pie, it has a crust. Cake is lacking crust unless it's left out too long, but at that point no one should be eating it.

Pies consists of crusts and fillings while cakes are cake and frosting. Cakes are generally lighter and fluffier while pies are heavier and focused mostly on a flaky crust and thick filling.

Cheesecake is a pie...

When people say cake I think of chocolate fudge or victoria sponge etc. which is nothing like bread or pastry
