I know cupcakes are all the rage but I don't get them at all. Just a lump of cake with frosting - I'm not much one for cake. Don't do frosting, don't do whipped cream, don't really do sugar all that much.
But pie, oh my! Still oven-warm, slide your fork through, the crust near disintegrating in buttery flakes and all those bits of fruits, I like mine a little tart, buttery fruity taste just mixing and melting in your mouth - ahhhh! Lick the sticky juice off the fork, front and back...it's heaven I'm telling you heaven. Layers of tastes and textures.
Can you get all that with a cupcake? I'm so thinking not. Just a mouthful of ole cake and icky frosting.
And while I'm sure there are songs about cupcakes, because there are songs about just about everything, I can't think of a single one. And there sure ain't no cupcake diners or secret recipes.
But there are songs about pie -

I am ready for my rhubarb pie now! I haven't had a slice or stalk of it since I was a child in Maine.I'm not saying how long ago THAT was! Yumm, I can smell it's sweet tartiness, already!
Great minds think alike... I just brought in a Lemon Meringue (sp?) for the office to enjoy!!! I like cupcakes, but they don't top my list. Pumpkin roll... that tops my list!!! Hope you have a great MOnday.
I love pumpkin pie the very best. I too would go for pie rather than cake or cupcakes.
Have a terrific day. :)
I'm also a fan of pies and other pastries - cake I can usually take or leave, and the current cupcake craze is beyond me. Nana made the BEST pies and pastries - the crust was never, EVER soggy - and she twisted up the dough scraps, dusted them with cinnamon sugar, and baked them - I'm not sure I didn't like them even better than the pie. Grace, I have a wonderful recipe for a pie that combines apples and pears, and is absolutely scrumptious - I'll email it to you if you like.
Italiana >^..^<
Heather: For some reason they put strawberries with rhubarb for pies - haven't had a taste of that in years either.
Lisa: Lemon meringue - yes except I take the meringue off LOL
Sandee: Warm pumpkin pie - oh, yes!
Italiana: I'll take the recipe - hubby doesn't care for pie - means I don't make or eat it very often ::sob:: The mother used to do the same with left over pie crust dough - she would give it to me and I would make my own little pastries.
Mmmmm. I do love me some pumpkin pie with fresh made whipped cream! Not one for cupcakes either, unless they are filled! I'm more a pastry person.
I never knew there were songs about pie. Besides Old King Cole!
The only thing I like about cupcakes IS the icing...I'll eat that and throw the cake part out. I like pie but it has to have ice cream unless it is Lemon Meringue which is my all time favorite!! Mostly I'll stick to a bag of potato chips.
Pies, cake and breads are my downfall. My favorite pie is either cherry or strawberry rhubarb or peach or....! I guess I really like pie!
I'll have apple pie and ice cream please... or maybe lemon meringue:)
Theresa: I suppose if I HAD to choose, I would pick the icing too.
Buggys: there is a song for everything LOL
Beaded Tail: I love anything cheery or lemon...
Dawn: My dahling - how are you? I once made an apple with apples that had been soaked in Calvados - interesting but not a winner.
How about some delicious PECAN pie!?!
I'm reminded of Harold and the Purple Crayon, in which Harold is hungry so he draws some pie -- all nine kinds of pie that he likes best! (We've been reading this book at home lately, so it's fresh on my mind.)
Me, I am more of a dark chocolate person, though I do like savory pies.
Daisy: You are so right - pecan pie! But warm - I like my pie warm.
Jennifer: Pie is pie and chocolate is chocolate - you can love both. But there is something called french silk chocolate pie - I made it exactly once, for my husband, it might be the only pie he really likes. It's much too rich for me - google it; the best of both worlds?
Wow, now I want pie, and I'm not the world's biggest pie fan, either. In fact, I hate fruit pie, except for blueberry. But you do have a point about a delicious freshly baked flaky crust.
(Plus I love "Michael"!)
JD: It's the varying tastes and textures of pie that is so satisfying. And you can put anything between 2 layers of buttery goodness and it's a pie - fruit or not.
Oh my, pie!
I love "Michael" too, and the other song is from the movie "Waitress" -
Pie is fine, but you don't like cake?!? This is an outrage!
:)
I'm with you, I LOVE pie.
