This ongoing question at our house never seems to tire out. We have fun asking folk which do they prefer? Which then always leads to the next obvious question; what is your favorite pie or cake?

It makes for interesting talk. Invariably answers include childhood memories. Often it depended on their mommas and what they baked for them.

I have baked both because my main squeeze, Bill, prefers fruit pies while I choose cake. My favorite cake is Chocolate Cake with Mocha Icing. Bill’s favorite pie he says, “Undecided, between cherry or blueberry”.

If I had to choose a pie, Blueberry would be it.

There is a close runner- up though, and that is Strawberry Pie. Made from local berries. This Spring has been a lovely season. Cool and lots of rain. Strawberries came in early. They are very good.

My dear friend gave me some from her patch, so I decided a strawberry pie was in order. May I say it was delicious? Fun and easy to make too.

Which do you prefer? Pie or cake?
