Cake and Ice Cream can certainly work together in stomping this third party's chances of having a place at the table. Unless by pie they mean pizza. Then we should keep an open mind about dark money desserts. While pizza pie has its own issues (pineapple) I believe you have found the common ground we can work with.

Kalbear Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Pie is absolute trash. The only good part of pie is the filling and that is better in every other form you can get it. Cake is good but ice cream is just consistently better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a wonderful savory buttery counterpoint to the sweet goodness of the pie filling. Pies, cakes, and ice cream. They’re all delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a very good pie crust and all it does is act as a satisfactory holder of tasty filling. Everything that is good in pie is better without that pie crust. Heck, cake goes better with everything filling wise than pie does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VigoTheCarpathian Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Ice cream is the pizza of dessert - available everywhere, pretty great high end options if you’re lucky, and even the corporate stuff isn’t atrocious. I’ve had an artisanal chocolate churro dough ice cream I’d probably murder someone for, and gotten sick after eating a whole pint of phish food (weed was involved). But it’s short-lived, and you can’t linger over it and enjoy it Cake has range. Cake can be a flaming disaster or a triumph of culinary artistry. A five year-old child can make a cake at home, in microwave or oven, a feat ice cream has yet to accomplish. I’ve had a German chocolate cake I would definitely murder someone for. We celebrate birth and marriage with iconic cakes. We tell our peasants to eat cake. Cake is all the misery and beauty of humanity. Don’t even get me started on cheesecake.

Starkess Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 I love both! I think that cake has a wider variance. The highs are high but the lows are low. Whereas ice cream is almost always at least decent, but more difficult to break into the sublime category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheesecake can do anything ice cream does (good, bad, or ugly) while at room temperature and with a delicious cookie dandruff crust. It’s an unholy abomination, but a lateral move from it to ice cream. Ice cream wins on a hot day, I guess. ETA: to be clear, by no means do I think cheesecake is a superior.

LongRider Posted September 22, 2022 Author Share Posted September 22, 2022 Sure, sherbet counts as ice cream, but in a smoothie? That is an adulteration and an insult to sherbet. Smoothies are for health nuts, ice cream/sherbet on the other hand, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy, buttery, can eat in all weathers, and does not cause gastrointestinal issues for the lactose intolerant. Not so good for the coeliacs though (there are exceptions). I hate to be the 'let's define our terms' guy but what are we including as cake here? Cheesecake has been mentioned as in that group but brownies are not? So no cookies, doughnuts, or buns? How about sorbets? I'd ask about frozen yoghurt but nobody likes frozen yoghurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
