Is there a difference between a cake and a pie?

I just had a birthday cake and can't tell the difference between a pie and a cake. I mean look at lemon meringue pie. It looks like a cake to me.

• A fool and his 18 dollars....

• You must be the world's biggest idiot!

• On Drop Dead Diva they made Pake's a cross between.

• If the moon hits your eye, like a pie it's amore If the moaok hits your eye like a cake it's dumpsville baby, population, YOU.

• OP, if it's got a pie crust, chances are it's a pie.

• Boston Cream Pie

• Parody threads abound

• The easiest way to tell the difference is that you can more easily stick your dick into pie than into cake. I wouldn't recommend testing this out at formal parties, though.

• Wow!!! First of all you must be joking right??? A pie has a crust of some kind and cake doesn't!!!!! And secondly... some of these replies are just stupid!!! Have all the food gourmets died or something because anyone can tell the difference between a pie and a cake!!!!

• The ultimate in pies is the pizza pie.

• Ahem, you ignorant twits. Presenting Boston Cream Pie. Proving that not everyone is as clueless as the OP and yet can still be confused over the nomenclature. (link to KRAFT - how embarrassing - as punishment for this thread and its responses.)

• if it has frosting, it's a cake. or it's variant, a cupcake. or maybe the cook was a freak who frosts the pies.

• I was led to believe that there would be no further discussion of frosting on Datalounge.

• r12? R6

• Cak has graxy . Pi is just a number

• I suppose the subject of hair pies is forbidden too?

• Cheesecake can indeed be crustless and cakelike. My favorite is Boston Cream Pie, though.

• Ain't Misbehaving, I'm saving all my Pie/Cake for YOU!

• Cheesecake is a pie. Boston cream pie is a cake. New York cheesecake is a cake-like pie. It's made with flour which makes it rise like a cake, but has a bottom crumb crust.

• WTF

• Oh, you meant just a regular cream pie. The kind of cream pie I was thinking about is much different than cake. Nevermind.

• OP, are you a bit of a tard?

• A cake is made with flour. The only flour in a pie is in the crust.

• Cakes = Kakes = Rump Pies = wedge = hairy cherry

• Yes. Unless you are in Boston and like cream.

• Pies have a bottom crust, but what makes something a cobbler?
