你是团队蛋糕或团队派吗?

第一轮:日常和特殊场合

当然蛋糕庆祝,派在填充多才多艺,因为它可以甜或美味。然而,确实有一些假日派中心——感恩节和π天(3月14日)庆祝活动将没有派。

“一个伟大的蛋糕标志着一生的特殊场合,“酿造5分的愈伤组织玛丽说。同时,艾玛Sterzinger Songbird馅饼的圣奥古斯丁说她的客户发现派“你每天可以有东西”。Her savory chicken pot pie hand pies have become a staple at farmers markets in the region. "I think savory pies are overlooked. It's a great meal, something to throw into your weekly recipe rotation, or to bring to a sick friend as it easily feeds a family.” Barbara Bredehoeft of Biscotti’s and bb’s restaurant and bar has noticed that her restaurants’ cakes bridge the gap between everyday delights and special occasions. You can order a single slice, or a whole cake for a celebration. She's seen customers who've grown up enjoying their favorite cakes now want those same flavors for their big celebrations like weddings and graduations.

结论:虽然派了在表在特殊场合,蛋糕是坚定的定期轮换的日常甜点选项。

第二轮:味道,馅料和纹理

馅饼是处于不利地位,因为只有很多层和纹理可以融入一个馅饼盘子。凯利克劳福德的钟声烤东西,蛋糕的无限的元素是她最喜欢的部分。“很高兴有一个柔软的蛋糕,天鹅绒般的结霜,然后咀嚼的东西。我填满我的蛋糕惊喜!”Sterzinger says that despite the fewer components to a pie, the research and development of the endlessly available flavor combinations really lights her fire. From rich and creamy to acidic and fruity, "the flavor profile of pie filling can be developed and taken to the next level,” she says. Pies also offer many opportunities for seasonal flavors, says Natasha Burton of Mixed Fillings Pie Shop. “I'm a very seasonal pie eater. It’s nice to enjoy pumpkin in the fall and to dig into berries in the summer!”

结论:尽管他们简单的外观,馅饼可以在一个广泛的味道;蛋糕为分层和纹理组合提供更多的可能性。

第三轮:装饰品

派的片状面团通常依赖于简单,几何形状的地壳装饰用的。1748年埃里森·沃恩面包店说她“喜欢匹配填充地壳,卷曲或卷边,晶格或关闭前根据派。”She uses dough cutouts as a signature look to cover the top of fruit pies with leaves, snowflakes, flowers, or hearts, depending on the season. Those cutouts work best for fruit pie as it allows the fruit to bubble up and through. Cakes on the other hand have become an all-out canvas for bakers to use as their artistic outlet. "There's a level of trust and artistry when it comes to building a cake," says Crawford, who likes to ensure that the cake matches the customer's personality. "Cake offers different sizes, shapes, colors, and flavors, so it is easier to squeeze in the different fragments of a person's taste."

结论:蛋糕装饰更引人注目的,尽管实验派装饰已经成为更受欢迎。

结论

两个糖果比你可能想象的更紧密地交织在一起。我们所有的专家面包师说,无论如果饼或蛋糕,他们深深植根于质量好的原料,偏好是建立在记忆和怀念。“没有人可以与记忆”沃恩说。“当你有带来了气味,味道,或记忆回来了,你去吧。”There was one very clear conclusion from our baking community: They love both desserts! Sterzinger says she is not a cake hater, while Bredehoeft confided that she actually prefers pie. Burton agrees, saying “why can’t we be friends?” Perhaps Marie said it best: "I am a dessert person!"
