March Madness Cake vs Pie Bracket

Meg posted her bracket in the March Madness Cake vs Pie Tournament, so of course I wanted to fill out a bracket too.

It was a lot easier to decide the cake half of the bracket than the pie, which probably means that I enjoy eating more kinds of pie than I do cake. Wedding and birthday cake confused me because there are so many kinds; in the end I interpreted wedding to be white cake and birthday to be yellow. I had a very hard time picking between pound and bundt and went with pound in the end only because I’ve eaten it more than I have bundt.

In the pie side of things, it was difficult because my favorite pies were pitted against my all-time favorite: apple. Lemon meringue is my second favorite kind, so it was very sad to see it go down against apple. I would have liked to put blueberry and cherry against each other, but cheesecake beat out cherry. As much as I love cherry pie, it can be kind of a hit-or-miss depending on the cherries used.

I am very pleased with my Final Four and the results of my bracket. Obviously apple and red velvet would face each other in the end (anyone who knows my dessert eating habits well would have known that from the start). As much as I love apple, there’s just something about red velvet that gives it a little edge over apple. It’s probably because I’ve never had a bad slice of red velvet in my life, whereas I have encountered some mediocre apple pie before.

Go team Red Velvet!
