The Cake Thread

[Eleven]

There are three types of cake:

 

1.  Chocolate cake.  This includes variants.

 

2.  Carrot cake.

 

3.  Cakes that I am not interested in eating or even acknowledging.  These are base, inferior cakes.  Dismiss them from my gaze.

I got some hot takes on cakes:

 

Neither cheese cake nor ice creme cakes are cakes. And if you get fondant anywhere near my cake you can just throw it out; I don't need 2 inches of Elmer's Glue on top of my dessert #buttercreme4lyfe

I'll agree with you on ice cream cake. It's just ice cream in cake form. 

 

But cheese cake? Them's fightin words.

C'mon. No love for yellow with chocolate frosting?

#CAKEHOTTAKES!

 

I think it's a fair debate: Is cheese cake, in fact, a "cake?"

I'd say no for the purposes of this argument (my feelings on cake are restricted to the spongy type and not simply cake-shaped desserts), but I'm sure others will disagree.

[That Aud Smell]

And Google agrees (that it's a fair question).

And that's why wedding cakes are f'n gross!

Oh, and with apologies for my misspelling in the picture file above (cheesecake is ONE word), the first return you get from that search sayeth:

 

With a minor change in appearance, any pastry that is a crumb crust filled with custard and baked, in my mind, is a pie. The addition of cream cheese is no more a disqualifier than the addition of bourbon would be. So, in short, a cheesecake is a pie. It can also be a cake, but it can't not be a pie.Aug 21, 2009

Its delicious. its not cake. Ice cream cake is ice cream in cake form. Cheese cake is cream cheese in cake form. If I take mash potatoes and shape them into a cake form its not a cake.

 

Cakes are baked. They involve flour. They rise.

 

Cheese "cake" is more accurately described as "cream cheese pie".

See?! I didn't even look it up!

Agreed. Gotta go with the butter creme for wedding cakes. Its more expensive but sooo worth it.

I think technically cheesecake is actually a pudding.  Could be wrong, though.

I made Cocoa Krispy treats last night, does that count? 

[Eleven]

Technically, anything baked is a form of pie, anyway:  http://imgur.com/Q002wkb

Cool, I'm gonna have me some Texas Toast pie with my spaghetti tonight!

Ignore him.  He's already been deposed.  He's not even a figurehead at this point.  He didn't even make it out of the donut thread.

First off...

 

Carrots or other vegetables should never be In a cake, simply disgusting

 

Whipped frosting is the way to go, I can go to town on a Tops 1/4 sheet cake with whipped icing and gel writing, doesn't even matter what is says or if it's a ninja turtle cake on a random Wednesday.

 

German chocolate cake is delicious

 

That is all

When I first saw this thread title I though it was about the band. Nope. I'm a pie guy. Mrs. iT makes mini pies for me to bake at will so I will never be desperate enough to eat cake. She's a big fan though.

[Doohicksie]

Is Cake the band allowed in here? Mmmmmm.

 

 

You beat me to it.  Thank you.

 

This is one of my favorite Cake videos.

 

 

And this is something my wife whipped up last year:  Red Velvet Cheesecake

 

[JJFIVEOH]

If that's cheesecake, it has to weigh 35 pounds.

 

Anybody ever make jello cake?

Two layers of cheesecake, three layers of red velvet, with cream cheese frosting.

My grandmother used to make it all the time.

[bunomatic]

Anyone ever have a Nanaimo bar ? Technically it prolly ain't a cake but if its sweet and cut into squares I consider it a cake. It was invented here in Nanaimo and is absofrickinlutely delicious. Look it up.
