They're totally different over here (pies are savoury / meat based ), but I thought that they were the same thing over there. Or am I missing some subtle humour ?
There are meat pies here too. Shepard's pie, chicken pot pie, etc. But there are also fruit filled pies for desserts. Squash pie and pumpkin pie are favorites at this time of year. And apple pie is all American. Other popular pies are blueberry, cherry, chocolate, and pecan
Cake is the mixture of flour, sugar, & eggs. Usually iced with frosting (or frosted with icing)
