The Verdict Is In: Cheesecake is...

In the month of April, we asked teens to tell us what they thought about our question of the month: "is cheesecake really cake or is it pie?"

April question of the month.

People had VERY strong opinions about this, and voiced their thoughts on Intagram, Facebook and in person in the teen room. After we counted the votes, the decision is that Cheesecake is actually... both? The votes were EXACTLY divided down the middle with 7 people voting cake, 7 people voting pie, and a couple of people having completely weird answers like:

"It is neither."  - C. Howard.

"Cheesecake is cheesecake" - anonymous

"It's pudding" - anonymous



BUT, just in case you were wondering, according to dictionary.com, cheesecake really IS a cake. This is because the definition of pie tells us that in order for something to be a pie, it has to have a filling, and it has to have a crust made of pastry. Since cheesecake crust is cookie crumb, not pastry, it doesn't fit the definition.

So now you know!

We don't care if it's cake or pie, it's delicious either way!
