Cake
is a natural with kids. It is sweet bread with even sweeter frosting. It is cheap to make. You can load it with
sugar, design it like a coloring book, even write your name on it. It holds candles like a champ, so you get that
Pavlovian thing (cake = birthday = presents). We are all the
product of rampant childhood Cake Fantasy.
Pie-love
is a longer burn. A grown-up endeavor. You need to slow down a bit on the
Skittles. Your taste buds start to ease up on 24X7 desire for pixie sticks. You
start to change. You admire the crust factor of good pie. You start to engage more with the meat pies
(By the way, how was that last Chicken Cake?
Thought so).
Pie
and Adulting go hand and hand.
I
maintain 40 is the coming of age for pie-lovers. That’s when the you start to see the shift. Have some fun at your next family get
together and ask people if they prefer cake or pie. Compare the results to the ages. Odds are you will see the correlation between
pre-40 (cake) and post-40 (pie).
I
believe the Millennial Generation will be approaching Pie-Age soon. I look forward to the changes coming from
them. I hope for increased pie blog coverage and new, unique and thrifty pie experiences.
The pie world will never be the same. Welcome!
