Cake vs. Pie!
While the guys at my work are into March Madness, the girls of our office (plus two guys) have filled out brackets for the epic Cake vs. Pie competition, as seen on Jezebel.com.
I have ICE CREAM CAKE going all the way!
Who doesn’t love creamy ice cream and cake in one? It’s the best of both worlds.
Which do you prefer? Cake or pie?
I’m a cake girl, without a doubt (unless French Silk pie is in the running, in which case I may be swayed).
Breakfast
With all this cake and pie talk, I was grateful for a super-sweet breakfast.
Three cheers for brownie batter hot cereal!
I also munched on a handful of Emerald cocoa roast almonds.
Chocolate for breakfast = A very good thing.
Workout
Today’s workout was good! I took a BodyPump class and followed it up with 10 minutes of incline walking and 10 minutes on the elliptical.
Sadie enjoyed a nice, long walk afterward too.
I snapped a picture of my lil’ girl this morning and laughed because she looks like she’s a little tripod dog with three legs. 🙂
I have a soft spot in my heart for three-legged dogs. I think they’re adorable, though I would never wish that on any dog. I love how even with three legs, dogs are still the happiest creatures in the world!
Jessica @ How Sweet says
LOL love that bracket! I have never heard of doing that. I’d vote for cheesecae!
coffeeismycarrot says
I’d vote for pumpkin or pecan pie. I’m not a huge cake fan.
As for tripods, we have one named Tucker and he is the best. So cute and so happy! He actually keeps up with our other four-legged pup no problem.
Kelly says
Ice cream cake is my favorite kind of cake, hands down,.
Amy (Up and Running!) says
I HATE ice cream cake. So weird, I know. Everyone else I know loves it. But I LOVE me some chocolate mud pie…mmm…fudge.
Anna says
I usually go with cake…although I love pie too 🙂
Sophie @ yumventures says
Hmm thats a tough one. I love both cakes and pies that have fruit/jam in them. So carrot cake > chocolate cream pie, but apple pie > angel food cake. That would be a difficult bracket for me to fill!
peanutbutterfingers says
it took A LOT longer than it should have! 🙂 it was hard to abandon your favorites & pick what you think the “masses” will like!
Katie @ Health for the Whole Self says
Pie all the way! A warm piece of apple pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream…perfection!
Lisa says

I LOVE cake…and emerald nuts cocoa almonds, great choice! Have a great day!
Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine says
OMG, I want to do that bracket!!! It depends on what cakes/pies are battling it out…I’m not a fan of plain cake, but throw some delish filling/mousse/frosting in there and it’s a tough call. Happy Friday!!

I might have to go with cheesecake! Of course you had to post this didn’t you!! Now I feel like I neeeeed some delicious baked goods!
Alison says
CAKE all the way!!! If I’m going to consume the calories, I’d choose cake over pie any day!
Now, the tough part is which kind of cake. It’s a close tie between birthday cake and angel food cake. YUMMM! 🙂
