Jezebel's Cake versus Pie March Madness match-up contains many irregularities in my opinion, including the two finalists - Red Velvet Cake in the Cake category and Cheesecake in the Pie category.
I understand WHY they have Cheesecake as a pie (it has a crust), but they're just wrong. Cheesecake is neither a pie, nor a cake. It is a dessert. Having said that, I can't allow Red Velvet Cake to win.
If it were just a matter of the icing, then fine, Red Velvet could take the prize, but please don't tell me that a cake with more red food coloring in one cupcake than we were ever meant to consume in a year AND minuscule amounts of cocoa should beat a "pie" with the creaminess of heaven and the taste of paradise.
So reluctantly, I cast my vote(s) for Cheesecake and I hope you will too.
Vote here, early and often.
I agree, also about the great reluctance. While it's possible to make a good red velvet cake (hint: use butter), there are plenty of great cheesecakes. But really, how did it come to this choice?
ReplyDeleteHi Tom,
ReplyDeleteI don't think the folks that chose these cakes and pies know much about great desserts. A Grasshopper Pie against Apple Pie?!! PULEEZ!!! A Bundt Cake?!! What does that even mean? That's a type of cake PAN, not cake. But I DO love the concept.
