Cakes and pie are different enough for me that I can't really contrast and compare the two. Mainly because pie encompasses so many different types of foodstuffs that I can't exactly narrow it down to one particular section of it.
eew, pie crust for cheesecake? I get biscuits, crumble them up, mix them with a secret incrediant, press it into the base, then create my cheesecake filling, add a splash of Baileys(c)(tm)(r) and let it chill, then i add strawberries to the top and its GRAAAAWWWWWWWWW *drools* ima make one soon!

I'm with you on the pie crust thing, but that's as far as it goes. For mine, I use graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter. I press it into my springform pan and bake that for 10 minutes and let it cool completely. Then I do two half batches of batter, one with plain cream cheese and one with a fruit flavored one, and I pour the fruit one on bottom. Then I bake that for about an hour in a water bath and then stick it in the fridge.
Also, I once had an idea to do a Neapolitan cheesecake. I'd done a chocolate swirl one and it was good, and I'd done a strawberry layer one and it was good. So I used chocolate graham crackers, chocolate batter on bottom, plain batter in the middle, and strawberry batter on top.
"Traditionally, a Mille-feuille is made up of three layers of puff pastry, alternating with two layers of cream pâtissière, but sometimes whipped cream, or jam. The top is usually glazed with icing or fondant in alternating white (icing) and brown (chocolate) strips, and combed."
It's a pastry, which falls into the same category as donuts or cinnamon rolls.
Hmm... How about cupcakes, then? Those are still cakes, right? I prefer them over whole cakes and am constantly making them on many occasions.
Pumpkin cupcakes with cinnamon cream cheese frosting are one of my favorites and I make them in the fall season. It's fun to find new ways to decorate them, too.

But seriously, I am not a real fan of pie, the berries inside it is sometimes to much (if it is a berry pie).
And all meat pies just taste dry to me.
But I have nothing bad to say about cake, I like all types of cake... Except cake with marcipan or coconut
Cake is gross.
Also, I love cheesecake, and am lucky to be quite skilled at making it.
I want to change the poll now!
and cheesecake pwns.

It was a disaster.
Even Merritt's, which is the best fricken bakery in Tulsa, uses some sort of crust for cheesecake (my guess is it's a graham cracker crust.)
Anyway, regular cake doesn't have a crust. cheesecake does. therefore I vote pie cuz cheesecake is awesome.
I add to the discussion:
well...

Anyways, as far as the current one goes, cake.
Why thank you, I'm flattered!!!
Also, I was going to vote cake but after seeing all the damn Portal jokes in here again I am slowly growing resentment for it.
Don't let portal cake jokes get in the way. ;A;
- "...cake please."
- "Sorry, we're out of cake."
- "So my only choice is 'or death'?" ... "Well, I'll have the chicken then."
