Is cheesecake a cake or a pie?

Cake. How could it be a pie?

If pumpkin pie is a pie then why is cheesecake also not a pie?

Cake

Neither. It's a dessert.

I never said pumpkin pie is a pie

A pizza pie isn't a pie, is it?

You just keep on trying till you run out of cake

It's a floorwax!

It's a pie.

Like Pumpkin, Key Lime, and Meringue.

Pie! And now I really want one.

I would say it's a cake if the crust is only on the bottom and it's a pie if the crust comes all the way up the sides. Or it's a cake if it's made in a cake pan and a pie if it's made in a pie pan.

Cheesecake can stand on its own without crusts on the side. Pumpkin pie can't. If a cheesecake needs crust on the sides to stay whole, then I'd say it's a pie. But traditional cheesecake only has crust on the bottom. I'm sure there's some technical definition about ratios of liquids to solids as well.

It's delicious, that's what it is.

that's true! is pumpkin pie a cake or a pie?

wait, which is pie and which is cake?

(I can't believe you strung that many words together and didn't make a gay joke!)

*headdesk*

truly lol-ing here

The pie has crust up the sides and the cake has crust only on the bottom.

Pie is obviously gayer. I didn't think you'd need it spelled out for you.

All I know is cheesecake is the most awful thing I've ever eaten.

You know what it is?

Good.

I believe cheesecake is a pie because it has a crust, unlike cakes. The filling (cream cheese) has a thick texture rather than a fluffy one, like a lot of cakes.

The flavor or the texture?

you're wrong. Pies are served at 4th of July parties cakes are served at commitment ceremonies ergo Q.E.D. cakes are gayer. I have a phd in gayness don't question it.

Ha, this is funny...it's neither a cake or a pie, it's a cheesecake. How could it be anything other than what it is?

Although, I do think it more closely resembles a pie, but nonetheless, it's still a cheesecake.

this was a triumph
I'm making a pie here ... huge success!

Neither - it's a cheesecake.

I will defer to your greater wisdom and experience in this matter.

oh man....it says pie, but it eats like a cake. I'm gonna say pie.

edit:
I am so confused. It says cake, but it eats like a pie, smells like a pie, looks like a pie...
therefore it's pie.

Flavor. Yuck.

Cheesecake is a pie or maybe a turd

> that's true! is pumpkin pie a cake or a pie?

It is a piece of turd

...can't...type....laughing...too ......hard...

Cheesecake?!? Cheeeese? Caaake? A cake of cheese?! Ya dirty bastards.

I remember that you like cooking. I saw this on another site, and thought of you

Cute!

I make no apologies for thinking of Peter Kay if anyone mentions cheesecake.

Well... you should.

how would it be considered a pie?

Cheesecake is disgusting.

Cake

It's both a cake and a pie

So you have your pie and cake and eat it too!

It's an imposter!
