For me, that depends. I have had both shitty cakes and shitty pies. The cake needs to avoid butter cream or frosting in favour of whipped cream, and the pie needs to NOT be mostly sugar in the filling/topping.
I’ve had a sweet tooth since childhood, and the only foods which have ever turned that sweet tooth against me (in terms of having an expected sugar presence) have been pies and cakes.
Why would you eat cake without butter creme frosting? That’s the entire point of cake. Hand me a piece of cake with WHIPPED CREAM, and I’m gonna, gonna, gonna…well, I’m gonna eat it, but I’d rather have buttercream frosting.

I know you’re just ribbing me, but if I may be neurodivergently serious - despite having an unrelenting sweet tooth, it comes down to two things:
Too heavy
Too sweet
Either one by itself is okay, the two together is just a major hell naw.
The heaviness is also why I am not a fan of most cheesecakes. A super-light one, fine. But I frequently cannot finish most slices of cheesecake unless they’re particularly narrow slices, far thinner than usual.

I stand by my statement without offering evidence, or citations.
Absolutely fair where personal preferences are concerned!
The last time someone suggested people eat it, they cut off her head. And rightfully so.
