However, I do not make very good pie. I don't quite have the knack for crust; the filling is no problem

I do bake very nice cakes though and enjoy doing it. My mom taught me to bake cakes from scratch when I was 12 - she let me bake all the Christmas cakes: German Chocolate, Coconut and Blackberry Jam with caramel frosting.

Cake is always tasty but in a restaurant I will get pie.

I even had my mother make cherry pie for my birthday. But when it became hard to find canned cherries in supermarkets, we switched to angel food cake with vanilla coconut frosting. That's good stuff, too.

Then again, I had creme brulee topped with assorted berries in a restaurant the other day. The berries were enormous and numerous, and the creme brulee was great. That falls into the "custard" category, apparently.

(I can recommend the Capital Grille in Pittsburgh if your pocketbook can stand it. The lobster bisque was outstanding)
