Cake is like raisins. Sure, raisins were probably a good sweet snack back when your choices were raisins or rye bread, but ever since the invention of chocolate, raisins have been obsolete.
The same holds true for cake with the invention of pie.
And, obviously, ice cream cake and ice cream pie are the next step. I predict that within a year, all cakes and pies will be made from ice cream, and only the most die hard grognards will accept non-ice cream pies and cakes.

This has nothing to do with your ice-cream simulationist view. Pie is just as capable of simulationism as cake. What’s more, Pie also supports Dramatist and Gamist eating. Only a rabid Cakemonger would fail to see that.

Says the rabid dog. Time to take you behind the woodshed.
Cake has many more layers than pie or ice cream. That you fail to see that lays bare your ignorance.

Actually, I didn't. I think I have flagged one post ever. Just to try it.
I think flagging should be used very sparingly. Paizo has better things to do than come in and baby sit us. I really see no point in spamming them with flags every time someone says something the least bit offensive.
Furthermore, I view posting that you flagged something as pretentious. As if it gives your point more weight. "Look at me, I tattled."

I would have been surprised if you did flag my post. I would also never seriously threaten anyone on the boards. Nothing could ever make me so angry on a messageboard to threaten someone else with harm.

Oh yeah, then explain chocolate covered raisins and why they have their own day.
Now the cake is nothing but frilly air argument completely overlooks pound cake, and things like banana bread. We all call it bread, but we know good and well that it is cake, and the only reason we call it bread is so that we can have it for breakfast.
Don't get me wrong, pie is good, but it's just not classy enough. When people start having pie instead of cake at their weddings, then you know pie has finally arrived.

Those who would choose frosting over flaky crust don't even deserve being acknowledged. The vapidity of this thread is boggling. If it were not for the benefit of others, I would not deign to post here. Intelligent followers of these boards know where to find real threads that are both conversant with Gygaxian insights and pie-relevant, unlike this one. OP, you made my brain want to throw up inside of my skull.

Actually, pie most supports absurdist gaming.
Damned Marx Brothers and their pie flinging...

What about lemon meringue pie? It has a dramatist layer on top, gamist lemonny goodness inside and a crust of simulationism. Then there's cheese cake. Explain that cake folks. It's practically pie and not really cake at all.
I'm for pie, cake's mystique was denuded by the holiday tradition of fruit cake, which DOES NOT have gummi bears in it. (or sour gummi worms which are better.)

Fruit cake is a lie. It was created by pie lobbyists to intentionally sully the good name of cake.

Pardon me. I'm going back there now.
Of course we're still talking about food. ;0

Actually its a Boiled Fruit Pudding...different thing entirely...completely unrelated to cake...except you can pour custard on both.

My fellow Paizonians I must declare that I am indeed a M.O.D. (Middle of (the) Dessert) person. I truely love pie. All the goodness in a small compact form with a flakey crust. Come on Pumpkin pie what other symbol represents Thanksgiving any better. And don't forget P.I.E. (People Ingesting Excellence) spokesperson Olivia Munn P.I.E. Spokesperson
But, also cake has it's moments. Who doen't love the moist, tender, and sweet carress of Jell-O Cake. And don't forget that brownies are basicly a cake also. Oh those were the good ole days when your friends came over and provided some "nutmeg and oregeno" to make the perfect brownie for everyone. They said the ingrediant was from a "special" family recipie.
But these two desserts while great in their own light, do not hold a candle to the ultimate dessert out there. COOKIES!!!! And one little disheartining note is as long as I have been here I have not been offered cookies at all. And I have heard Lillith's cookies were the best. But I digress, who can say no to homebaked cookies, like chocolate chip, or chocolate oatmeal no-bake cookies, or any like Grandma used to make. With this statement, I must formally declare that this argument is moot with such a clear winner in the wings and that winner is the Cookie!!!

At which point, they become baked bads.
Kind of like the way some people's hairdos become hair don'ts...
Pie is good, but pretentious. Cake and ice cream together is an institution. No one argues it. But pie has to go and get all fancy. It's not "pie and ice cream," no, it's "pie ala mode." What's the matter, pie? Compensating for the fact that cake goes better with ice cream than pie by pulling out the French phrases? Yeah, I thought so.
