Take the Cake Poll

Ok who is going to take the cake. After much deliberation I have come up with our four finalists.

Cheese cake

Strawberry Shortcake

German Chocolate Cake

Carrot Cake

Let them eat cake I say.

You skinny people can wait for the tofu poll.

Darcy said...: Oh, man, oh, man, oh, man...I want them allllllllll.

Carrot cake. Just a tiny smidge.; February 5, 2009 at 8:52 PM
Meade said...: Are those carrots organic? Or have they been treated with formaldehyde?; February 5, 2009 at 9:15 PM
Meade said...: I'll vote. But it's under protest.; February 5, 2009 at 9:22 PM
ricpic said...: Strawberry shortcake is sweet-tooth heaven. So if you were all chronological 12 year olds it would win hands down. After that age sweet-toothdom declines, slightly. And since you're all only mentally 12 year olds strawberry shortcake will probably loose out to the slightly smaller sugar jolts delivered by the other 3 cakes.; February 5, 2009 at 9:47 PM
Darcy said...: Actually, if the strawberry shortcake were my grandmother's homemade kind, ricpic...well, there'd be no contest! And no shortcake left. :); February 5, 2009 at 9:56 PM
birdie bob said...: Gotta go with the strawberry shortcake!; February 5, 2009 at 9:58 PM
Meade said...: I resent that sweeping generalization, ricpic. I'm practically 14. At least I'll be 13 in November so that's pretty close to 14.

Plus, I'm mature for my age. Which might explain why I'm protesting this latest phony illegal election.; February 5, 2009 at 9:58 PM
Anonymous said...: Wow! That strawberry shortcake is mammoth!; February 5, 2009 at 10:12 PM
chickelit said...: Notice how tiny that cheesecake photo is, and not even attractive.; February 5, 2009 at 10:16 PM
Christy said...: Write in vote for Black Forest Cake.

Think I'll go make some chocolate and pecan cookies now.; February 5, 2009 at 10:20 PM
Freeman Hunt said...: Not a fair contest. No double entendre intended here: Cheesecake beats all. No regular cake of any sort could possibly be expected to compete with cheescake. If you throw a party and put out some cakes, one of them cheesecake, the cheesecake will be gone first. It could even be some ugly, malformed, "oh sorry the box fell" cheesecake, and it would be gone first.; February 5, 2009 at 10:51 PM
Jeff Gee said...: Carrot cake. I love cheese cake but it doesn't love me, if you know what I mean. And I know you do. So it's me and carrot cake under the Snugglie, watching Law & Order reruns.; February 5, 2009 at 11:29 PM
Darcy said...: Oh! *clinks forks with Jeff over the carrot cake choice*

Cheers. :); February 5, 2009 at 11:32 PM
Darcy said...: And Freeman, that is so true. There never is any cheesecake left!
I actually love all of these cakes...hmmm...how did Trooper get in my head?; February 5, 2009 at 11:33 PM
Nichevo said...: Carrot or cheese...tough one...Junior's cheesecake, mmm...but I do like me some carrot...Buridian's ass...; February 6, 2009 at 1:45 AM
Nichevo said...: would you believe I've never had strawberry shortcake?; February 6, 2009 at 1:46 AM
An Edjamikated Redneck said...: I had a piece of what was called Carrot Cheesecake once.

It was a layer of carrot cake, a layer of cream cheese icing, a layer of cheescake, with creamcheese icing, another carrotcake layer, more icing and another layer of cheescake, again with the creamcheese icing.

Absolute heaven...

Too bad that resurant is gone now; especially since it was also a brewpub!; February 6, 2009 at 7:41 AM
Darcy said...: That was such a cute defense of the little bitty cheesecake, chickenlittle!; February 6, 2009 at 12:10 PM
chickelit said...: Thanks Darcy. I was thinking that the word triggers lots of projection and doesn't even need a decent photo. Freeman is right, it's not fair. But if anybody could convince me to change my vote to carrotcake, that person would be you.; February 6, 2009 at 1:07 PM
Darcy said...: Aww, chickenlittle. Sweet. Too bad we can't compromise and vote on on Edjamikated's cake!; February 6, 2009 at 2:13 PM
jaed said...: I must protest here.

I've made strawberry shortcake, I've eaten strawberry shortcake, strawberry shortcake was friend of mine, and that, sir, is no strawberry shortcake; that's an ordinary white layer cake with strawberries on it. Not that I'd turn it down. But it is not strawberry shortcake.

Strawberry shortcake requires 1) shortcake, 2) strawberries (fresh, not in a glaze - just macerated in a little sugar), 3) whipped cream.

This is strawberry shortcake.; February 6, 2009 at 2:36 PM
knox said...: Jaed, my thoughts exactly. I prefer vanilla ice cream, tho.; February 6, 2009 at 2:43 PM
I'm Full of Soup said...: Anything chocolate gets my vote!; February 6, 2009 at 2:58 PM
chickelit said...: @jaed: I would like a recipe for that--it looks delicious. If Trooper amends his poll to include real strawberry shortcake, I might just switch my vote(s).; February 6, 2009 at 3:10 PM
Michael Haz said...: Hmmmmm.....first sandwiches, big slobbery, high calorie, yummy sandwiches.

Then.....cakes, big gooey, yummy, squishy, high calorie cakes.

And then......a not so subtle plug for his 'plus size' (means:well fed) dress store.

What next? Ice cream? I can only hope...

(Not that I'd wear a dress, just sayin'); February 6, 2009 at 3:22 PM
Meade said...: Changing my vote in this phony illegal rigged election to jaed's strawberries with grandma's shortcake and real whipped cream, - nothing whizzy, thank you very much.; February 6, 2009 at 3:31 PM
Darcy said...: Chickenlittle! What about me and my carrot cake? Fickle.; February 6, 2009 at 3:53 PM
Zachary Sire said...: Carrot Cake, FTW! Although, Strawberry Short Cake holds a place in my heart.; February 6, 2009 at 4:13 PM
Zachary Sire said...: If you throw a party and put out some cakes, one of them cheesecake, the cheesecake will be gone first. It could even be some ugly, malformed, "oh sorry the box fell" cheesecake, and it would be gone first.

LOL. I agree with Freeman, and will be voting for cheesecake from my home computer, carrot cake from my mom's computer, and Strawberry Shortcake from my work computer. THIS POLL IS NOT FAIR.; February 6, 2009 at 4:15 PM
Darcy said...: This is the first poll I'm really feeling invested in. I'm passionate about carrot cake. It's not only delicious, but it is slightly good for you.

I'll be enlisting all resources to bring about a win for my cake. Game on.; February 6, 2009 at 4:23 PM
Darcy said...: Oh, crap! Trooper changed the photo of the shortcake. My carrot cake dreams are taking a dive.; February 6, 2009 at 4:47 PM
chickelit said...: I was tempted, but I haven't betrayed you. Forgive me?
I'm still stuck on cheesecake though.; February 6, 2009 at 5:17 PM
Darcy said...: We're good, chickenlittle. ;-); February 6, 2009 at 5:23 PM
Nichevo said...: WIIFM Darce?

Actually I am already voting for carrot (once so far) but would be interested to know just HOW bad you want to win. More votes could be arranged, my support COULD have a price.

IYKWIM, AITYD ;>; February 6, 2009 at 6:56 PM
Darcy said...: I meant to thank you for that vote, Nichevo! How's that? My gratitude. :); February 6, 2009 at 7:02 PM
Nichevo said...: It's a start, sure, how would you like some more? and how would you thank me? win-win, sweet thing!; February 6, 2009 at 8:00 PM
Darcy said...: I think I just did thank you, Nichevo. And I'm going to win this poll for my cake in a respectable manner, I'll have you know! That's the kind of gal I am.; February 7, 2009 at 12:26 PM
