Wow – tough call between wedding and pineapple upside down cakes. Both sound much better than they actually taste. Gonna have to go with the fruity choice.

My main problem with wedding cake is the 18 pounds of icing that they get slathered in.

But that’s the only thing that provides any moisture. Usually the wedding cakes are dried out with some yucky slime in between layers.
That’s why I just got a delicious chocolate cake for my post-wedding party.

My rationale is that icing can easily be added or removed to taste. A yucky upside down cake is beyond help.

Pineapple Upside Down Cake is really more of a pie..when done correctly, the brown sugar forms a delicious sugary “crust” on top of the cake.
As a pie aficionado, Pineapple Upside Down cake is the only cake I will eat.

have also been working on a new appetizer. It is a cheese crisp
( think crispy quesadilla) with marinated crab (lime, garlic, one serrano pepper, one green onion) shredded romaine lettuce, avocado, sour cream lime sauce. The romaine goes on the crisp, crab on top of that, avocado and lime cream . Cut it like a pizza. Mrs. NVSFG swears by it.
Also just started grilling asparagus with olive oil, sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper. It is awesome. I make a sour cream/horseradish drizzle that goes really well with the smokey flavor off of the grill.

My favorite pie is probably Banana Cream, but I think the winner here should be Pumpkin Pie. It’s edible any time of the year for any meal, is amazingly delicious, is versatile enough to accommodate different toppings or none at all, and is arguably still among the healthiest options on that bracket.

I’ve said it before, with much resulting derision, but I do not like pumpkin pie. Perhaps it’s because my mother made it rather poorly, or she fed it to us too often, but I am not a fan. I like pumpkin flavor in general – I eat pumpkin soup, pumpkin ravioli and I even make a mean pumpkin lasagna. But I do not like the pie.

Pie ftw
I’m having trouble voting on pie because both options sound good.

The Cake committee doesn’t recognize this as a valid tournament. Cupcakes? Brownies? Hot cakes? Where are they? This bracket is absurd. Cheesecake is on the other side? Why don’t we just put key lime pie as a #16 seed for cake (a reasonable ranking in the cake category). “Birthday cake” is not a flavor. Wedding cake? Not all wedding cake is equal. What if it’s the bride’s sixth wedding? And only one chocolate flavored cake huh? Pardon me while I call ‘bullshit’.

You’re wrong and you know you’re wrong. It’s just sad, really.

Sad? I don’t think so. You know what’s sad jcb9? A kid without cake on his birthday. A bride cutting her wedding german chocolate pie. Why are you trying to punish little henry, jcb9? He just wanted to blow out his candles and make a wish that his parents will stop arguing and give him the love & attention he needs on his special day. And the poor bride. This is her one special day to enjoy love. It’s all downhill after that. You know what the divorce rate is today? Odds are she’s going to be raising little henry all by herself while that jerk has a midlife crisis, marries his secretary, while she’s back on the dating scene realizing all the good men are taken. Let her enjoy her one day dammit.
I can take being accused of being wrong jcb9. But please explain to little henry why cake is better than pie. Go ahead.

That looks like something vulgar.
I know you nerds know NOTHING about the real game of baseball, or any other athletic endeavor requiring teamwork under physical stress.

There’s no way Lemon Meringue should be seeded that low. #13!? That’s just bizarre.

Carrot cake at #7?????
Fuck that right in its ear. That’s the best cake there is.
And birthday cakes at #1. Please. A lot of birthday cakes are crappy.

I generally try to stay away from pie vs cake discussions because I generally enjoy desserts and feel no need to make them compete for my love, but this is absolutely right. There is no cake better than carrot cake.

Both sides of the bracket are seriously flawed
The bracket selection committee needs to have their heads examined.

Bacon Pie should be somewhere on the list...
[hat tip to ThinkGeek]
Ingredients:
1 pound bacon, chopped
1 onion, chopped
8 large eggs, beaten to blend
1 pound russet potatoes, peeled and grated
2 3/4 cups grated sharp cheddar
1/2 teaspoon pepper
extra bacon strips to weave as the pie crust
1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line 9-inch pie dish with a woven bacon piecrust.
2. Bake bacon crust until bacon is mostly cooked, then drain (or leave drippings in pan for extra yummy).
3. Cook bacon and onion in heavy large skillet over medium heat until bacon is crisp and onion is translucent, stirring frequently, about 8 minutes.
4. Transfer to paper towel using slotted spoon and drain well.
5. Combine eggs with next 3 ingredients, then mix in bacon mixture.
6. Pour into prepared baking dish, spreading mixture evenly.
7. Bake until center is set, about 45 minutes. Cut into squares and serve.

Pie trumps all. My only question is why so many worthy pies were excluded: peach, strawberry-rhubarb, pineapple cream, peace-blueberry, Dutch apple. And what about the savory pies? Meat pies are pies, too! And they’re delicious! Because they’re pies!
In the end, America will be remembered for three things: the Bill of Rights, jazz, and baseball.
