Then Marianne mentioned cherry pie... </p> <p>So team pie it is. Fruit or berry, but not too sweet. I enjoy both, the filling and the crust. I trust the opinions of cupcake lovers here, so maybe it's just that I hadn't had a good cupcake yet?</p> <p>First time I tried American pumpkin pie I wasn't impressed. Now I can't get enough.<br /> (I also enjoy savory pumpkin) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pie-or-team-cupcake/page/2#post-225124 Sat, 02 Oct 2010 20:31:39 +0000 marianne 225124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Team pie - more specifically cherry or peach. Or cobbler or strudel. Not a big fan of cupcakes - too sweet for my taste. Although it seems like I am constantly surrounded with them at all the kinds' parties we go to, so it might be just overload </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pie-or-team-cupcake/page/2#post-225098 Sat, 02 Oct 2010 18:47:52 +0000 Maya 225098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>High five Scarlet. The idea that the combination of butter and sugar can make anyone anything less than gleeful is alien to me. I feel sorry for those people My existence would be joyless without it... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pie-or-team-cupcake/page/2#post-225095 Sat, 02 Oct 2010 18:39:06 +0000 Scarlet 225095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really don't like pie. There is not a single kind of pie that I like. The best I can do is eat the fruit filling out of the crust but then it is too sweet. Cupcakes for me please. I could never have imagine that buttercream frosting makes some people nauseous. The things you learn around here. Admittedly I like to dose my frosting. I never eat all of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pie-or-team-cupcake/page/2#post-224711 Sat, 02 Oct 2010 02:27:34 +0000 Tanya 224711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Team Cupcake! I currently have a huge crush on the Red Velvet flavor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pie-or-team-cupcake/page/2#post-224702 Sat, 02 Oct 2010 02:19:02 +0000 anne 224702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I pretty much second everything Theresa said.</p> <p>Except that growing up in Australia, while my pumpkin experience was and is predominantly savorry - I love roasted pumpkins and pumpkin in stews and curries, but more prosaically eat it just steamed in the microwave most nights - we did have pumpkins scones (you should know about those, as a QLD girl!) which were sweet, and my mum even make pumpkin custard and pumpkin icecream occasionally.</p> <p>I am on team pic, although I am not that keen on piecrust. Favourites are cheesecake, lemon meringue and rhubarb.</p> <p>I find cupcakes a disappointment, but recently tried two winners; caramel mudcake and rhubarb and white chocolate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pie-or-team-cupcake/page/2#post-224269 Fri, 01 Oct 2010 00:29:44 +0000 shana 224269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cupcakes - but only with cream cheese frosting. Buttercream makes me gag too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pie-or-team-cupcake/page/2#post-224268 Fri, 01 Oct 2010 00:27:31 +0000 Katja 224268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cherry pie is my husband's default birthday dessert. I almost forgot this year, came home to a note on the kitchen table that said, "Is there a cherry pie in my future?" So of course there was. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pie-or-team-cupcake/page/2#post-224244 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 23:19:17 +0000 NK 224244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Team pie. I had a birthday cherry pie instead of a birthday cake for many, many years.</p> <p>Not that I'd say no to a cupcake right now though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pie-or-team-cupcake/page/2#post-224210 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 21:04:51 +0000 Louise 224210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooo cupcakes. Though I do the love apple crumble the school kitchen makes, does that count as pie? x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pie-or-team-cupcake/page/2#post-224193 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 19:58:43 +0000 Inge 224193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely pies (only the sweet variety though). Cupcakes always come with frosting (very often butter cream and if there's one thing that I can't eat - it actually makes me phyiscally ill too - then it's butter). And there are just so many delicious types of pie out there, mmmmm.</p> <p>I am curious to try cream cheese frosting though, to me that's a very American thing, you don't see that over here. Wondering if I would like it or not...:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pie-or-team-cupcake/page/2#post-224053 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 13:52:21 +0000 Barbara 224053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pie. REAL key-lime pie. From my favorite restaurant on Emerald Isle, NC.<br /> Now I'm DYING for some! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pie-or-team-cupcake/page/2#post-224035 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 13:02:32 +0000 Queen Mum 224035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Theresa- yes, I count cheescake in with pie as well. Cheesecake is the ultimate pie-gasm if you ask me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pie-or-team-cupcake/page/2#post-224002 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 10:27:10 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 224002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We have fairy cakes, but never knew about cream cheese frosting... I'm going to investigate this as it sounds good. I'm making fairy cakes this afternoon for the children when they get home for tea (hoping that builds up my stash of 'good mummy' points for a bit...) and this thread is making me hungry. I'll just take the butter out to soften...</p> <p>PS not voting for a team - can't cope with food teams as I sit on the fence! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pie-or-team-cupcake/page/2#post-223982 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 06:27:38 +0000 RoseandJoan 223982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My Grandma made the best apple pie every Sunday. I rest my case.</p> <p>I also call cup cakes fairy cakes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pie-or-team-cupcake/page/2#post-223980 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 06:26:33 +0000 Theresa 223980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cupcakes is a fairly new "terminology" for them where I live - I've grown up with them being "Patty Cakes" - cupcakes were American (like your cookies are our biscuits!). But these days, everything is "cupcake"... and I have to say, it does make me sad... nothing against you lovely US ladies, but I like retaining our uniqueness! (this "cupcake" trend probably started 5ish years ago... to me anyway!)</p> <p>And don't even get me started on pumpkin as a sweet! Its a vegetable and you serve it mashed with potato or roasted ROFL!!!</p> <p>I am Team Pie - I also love a good apple, or apricot, or pineapple, or pineapple meringue, or rhubarb pie etc etc etc and I figure seeing as cheesecake comes in a pie shell, it counts as pie too LOL</p> <p>But having said that, I have nothing against a good "patty cake" - but my kids live on them, so I do prefer grown up choices when I indulge! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pie-or-team-cupcake/page/2#post-223979 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 06:25:38 +0000 MsMary 223979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My initial reaction was "cupcakes," but the reality is that I am almost always disappointed by cupcakes. I love the idea of them so much, but the reality of them so often disappoints. And I think the best pie beats even the best cupcake.</p> <p>All of which is to say... Team Pie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pie-or-team-cupcake/page/2#post-223977 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 06:20:45 +0000 marianna 223977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This one is a hard one for me too, but I guess I am on team cupcake. I LOVE red velvet cupcakes with good cream cheese frosting.</p> <p>I HATE store bought cupcakes though. That fake frosting makes me gag.</p> <p>I love banana creme pie... yum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pie-or-team-cupcake/page/2#post-223950 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 04:30:17 +0000 Kate 223950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a tough one, but I think I'm on team pie. At least most of the time... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pie-or-team-cupcake/page/2#post-223938 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 03:52:12 +0000 Mae 223938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please sign me up for an Angie lemon cupcake with cream cheese frosting. Mmmmmmm. If you throw it far enough, Angie, you might be able to hit me- I'm only two states south. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pie-or-team-cupcake/page/2#post-223933 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 03:45:27 +0000 Refugee 223933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Team pie for sure. My favorite's are old school: rhubarb and sour cream raisin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pie-or-team-cupcake/page/2#post-223928 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 03:33:24 +0000 Patience 223928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Team Pie. I've gotten to the point where I don't really like anything cake-ey unless it's homemade. I've had bad luck with cupcake shops particularly. Great idea, Khris. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pie-or-team-cupcake/page/2#post-223905 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 02:56:49 +0000 Donna 223905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, team cupcake for sure! I've never heard them called "fairycakes", so cute. I'm not a big fan of pie and would choose cupcakes or cake every time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pie-or-team-cupcake/page/2#post-223897 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 02:49:34 +0000 Carole 223897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I never met a pie I didn't like, then along comes a little place in Portland called "Saint Cupcake" OMG, they are to die for, every decadent combo you can imagine, and you don't have to feel super guilty because you can get a tiny cupcake, just a bite. I sound like a foodie, don't I? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pie-or-team-cupcake#post-223895 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 02:48:23 +0000 chewyspaghetti 223895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I am *forced* to eat a cupcake (come on- it happens! )- I break off the bottom half and put it on top of the frosting to make a sandwich. Anyone else eat them this way? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pie-or-team-cupcake#post-223892 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 02:45:57 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 223892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Team galette!

There is nothing more american than Apple Pie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pie-or-team-cupcake#post-223887 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 02:32:30 +0000 bella 223887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pie! We don't really eat pie or cupcake where I am from, so kind of met both of these when I came to the US. Now, I cannot conceive of a more delicious dessert than good old apple pie. </p>
