    Well, hey, the red velvet cake debate drove up some conversations.  Let's keep this going!

  • I can't stand chocolate cake. I like pie (not pumpkin or sweet potato) and pretty much any other dessert, except rice or bread pudding. I actually prefer ice cream to any of those.

    How about - anyone who comes to visit me gets proof that I make the best red velvet cake ever. 

    No, really, I do.

    So, is proper red velvet cake a southern thing?  From all the red velvet cakes I've tried, the cupcakes I made myself were my favorite.  Maybe I just found a really good recipe and places in the northeast don't do a very good job with it.

    Choosing between pie and cake is like choosing which of your children you love more.  No one should ever have to make such decisions.

    I'm wondering the same thing.  The only red velvet I see around here comes from a box.  The caveat is that I don't really live in a city area, but the bakeries near me don't really do it.

    I'm in Florida and we have red velvet literally everywhere. 

    Cake wins for me every time. I just don't see what's so special about pie!

    No good cake can ever come from a box.

    Cake is just cake.  Pie can be made with fruit, meat, or everything.  

    Meat Pie ....yum
    Fruit Pie ....yum
    Cream pie ...yum
    Peanut butter pie ...yum
    spaghetti pie ...yum
    Pot pie ....yum

    See, the possiblilities with pie are limitless.  Pies to infinity.  

    Not that cake is bad, but pie is my soul mate.
