Dessert Warfare: Round 1, Match 5
 

We have some interesting matchups in this go-around.

How many matches are there in Round 1?

Red velvet cake vs. Homemade Custard Pie

I'm kind of neutral on both of these, but red velvet cake is red and has a cool name, so I'm going with it.

Pumpkin Cheesecake vs. Baked Alaska

Not into pumpkin flavors. Baked Alaska is pretty good and has a cool name, so I'm going with that.

Tiramisu vs. Vanilla pudding

I should probably go with tiramisu because it's got a cool name, but it often seems like tiramisu has a coffee flavor that I don't like, so I'm going with the 'nilla puddin'.

Coconut Cream Pie vs. Turtle Cheesecake

I'm recognizing that I'm a bit of a purist on cheesecake. Turtle cheesecake would be good, but not as good as plain cheesecake. I like the clean and pure flavor of coconut pie, so it's my choice here.

Ah. Good question. It looks like we have nine more, though a couple may have 5 matchups instead of 4.

So total of 14.

COCONUT CREAM PIE BETTER ****ING WIN

Homemade Custard Pie - Sounds yummy

Baked Alaska - I'm not a big fan of pumpkin

Vanilla Pudding - Close call for me

Coconut Cream Pie - I love this one. Probably a top 3 for me especially if you make it Coconut/Banana cream pie. Reminds me of a childhood's worth of watching Gilligan's Island.

I'm surprised so far. Turtle cheesecake is no slouch, and coconut cream pie is handing it its lunch in the early going.

I've never had Pumpkin Cheesecake.

Doesnt sound good even though I love cheesecake and pumpkin pie.

Turtle cheesecake might be very good, I just prefer my cheesecake plain.

Cake should never beat pie.

Tiramisu is pretty good, though its extremely rich. Cant eat much.

Enlighten your taste buds. It's delicious

pecan pie is still going to win this thing.

Blasphemy!

Are you the person I made the bet with? I remember it was $10,116 in casino currency, and I'm riding the line that pecan pie won't win. I just can't remember who I made the bet with.
