Cake vs Pie

[thecavemankevin]

Stand up my brethren and let your voices be herd. If you are made of Win then you clearly like cake better. If you say pie is better then you are made of unhappiness and caboose (http://images.quizilla.com/D/DR/DRA/DragonBlade17/1129683413_se_result1.jpg) will eat you.

So, whose side are you on?

The French put our desserts to shame.

I will say cake....Because a lot of my favorite thinks fall into the Cake Category:

Cake..
Cup Cakes (ZOMG Cake to Go!!)
Pancakes (You put on the toppings!)
Swiss Cake Rolls (You get two perfect little cake rolls!!)
Ice Cream Cake (This speaks for itself)

There is only one problem with cake:


Did you know that there is a food out there that will stop a woman from wanting sex?
Its' called "Wedding Cake"

...
Cup Cakes (ZOMG Cake to Go!!) <---True
Pancakes (You put on the toppings!) <---False
Swiss Cake Rolls (You get two perfect little cake rolls!!) <----Eh, I'll say OK
Ice Cream Cake (This speaks for itself) <---- No way

...

Cake is generally baked and held together with some sort of amorphous flavorful adhesive
Pie gennerally sports a crust, either below or below and above, and is cooked in a dish-like pan. The pie crust is then stuffed or topped with a filling.

A pancake is not a cake... sorry. It's more of an americanized crepe, it only has the word cake in its name... I can call a turd a lollipop but that don't make it candy.

Ice cream cake doesn't count as cake. It is a "frozen dessert" or more simply "ice cream shaped like a cylinder". It is superior to Cake... don't ever insult it again. Tecnically, I think that those Dairy Queen Pizza Treats are closer to Pie than Ice Cream - they do have crust/filling/toppings. :p

To reiterate from the other Thread, Pie > all. Girl Pie is best.

If you do not like Pie we now know your 'orientation'.

creme brulee FTW!

We bought one of these so we could easily make our own Creme Brulee at home. Works great on shrink wrap as well!

It's custard with a carmelized sugar top, usually served in a ramekin. You bake your custard, let it cool, sprinkle sugar on the top, and carmelize it using the torch.


Alton Brown's Creme Brulee recipe:



1 quart heavy cream
1 vanilla bean, split and scraped
1 cup vanilla sugar, divided
6 large egg yolks
2 quarts hot water

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Place the cream, vanilla bean and its pulp into a medium saucepan set over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, cover and allow to sit for 15 minutes. Remove the vanilla bean and reserve for another use.

In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup sugar and the egg yolks until well blended and it just starts to lighten in color. Add the cream a little at a time, stirring continually. Pour the liquid into 6 (7 to 8-ounce) ramekins. Place the ramekins into a large cake pan or roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake just until the creme brulee is set, but still trembling in the center, approximately 40 to 45 minutes. Remove the ramekins from the roasting pan and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 3 days.

Remove the creme brulee from the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes prior to browning the sugar on top. Divide the remaining 1/2 cup vanilla sugar equally among the 6 dishes and spread evenly on top. Using a torch, melt the sugar and form a crispy top. Allow the creme brulee to sit for at least 5 minutes before serving.

You know what??? That sounds good, but I bet it'd be better if it was poured into a pie crust! PIE FTW! :D

Get the torch set so you have the ramekins and the torch for the sugar crisping fun.
