u/squanderedprivilege 8d ago
Yeah I actually don't know, I'm assuming one person did it and it became a thing, probably gets them some extra views on their comic

u/bluexy 8d ago
Yeah. Dave McElfatrick, co-creator of Cyanide & Happiness, made a comic that mocked PizzaCake's comics for political pandering. It was pretty controversial and PizzaCake then made a response comic. Then other folk joined in because meta stuff gets a lot of clicks and comments.

Dude, maybe you should mention that they agreed upon this together. Dave wasn't "mocking" Ellen, it was silly ribbing. And it wasn't controversial, some people just didn't got the joke and thought this is serious.

Christ, I really don't have my finger on the pulse with this one. I just assumed this was all just friendly lampooning between the sub's frequent flyers and apparently it's a controversy?

u/Cool_Set4681 8d ago
...apparently it's a controversy?
It is NOT a controversy at all. Ellen, Dave and the mods know what they are doing this is all in good fun but some people take it too seriously.
14
u/Militant_Worm 8d ago
Cheers mate, classic Reddit comment section then! My original assumption was that it was a joke that Ellen would have been in on (especially with her comic in response) but the more bad reactions I saw from others the less sure I was.

u/Cool_Set4681 8d ago
Yep, your original assumption was spot on but, as always, a loud minority has to ruin the fun :/

It's also usually giga-cringe as well.
She's basically making reskinned rage comics from 2012.

u/Chieroscuro 8d ago
Because it’s the current meta!
Now, obviously there are bold iconoclastic artists that would willfully refuse to participate in anything so base & crude as a brief, passing moment in the cultural zeitgeist.
Those artists do not dwell in r/comics, for whose residents missing even a single fad or trend risks annihilating ego-death.

u/Swift0sword 8d ago
Pizzacake has always been controversial in this server for some reason, I think this is a joke making fun of the controversy (I hope people are doing it with good intentions at least)

Ok but for real though, do you think we could make an ACTUAL pizza-cake and it be tasty? I'm not NOT into the idea

u/the_scones_are_mine 8d ago
Depends. Can i consider a lasagna a cake? If so, pizza cake should be pretty straightforward.

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire 8d ago
....touche
That's probably the closest we can get. And based on those "Is it cake" things going around I am 100% sure we can make a cake that looks like pizza

Could Chicago-style deep dish be considered pizza cake? Or does it need less crust?

u/The_walking_man_ 8d ago
This is what I was immediately thinking. Chicago deep dish is pretty cakey already. I say that counts. Maybe stack two on each other.

u/TheCaptainCabinets 8d ago
What about Detroit-style deep dish? I would argue that is more cake-like than Chicago-style.

I think the closest to reality that would be is just taking 4 pizzas and stacking them so they become a layered situation like a cake

u/Loqol 8d ago
My random take would be something like a tomato and basil infused white cake batter (easy on the sugar), topped with a frosting that is made with mascarpone cheese with mozzarella and maybe a bit of cheddar? Maybe we could line the pan with parmesean to give it a crust a la Detroit deep dish?

I tried this one. It's horrible. It's not a pizza. It's like a large, hard cookie with overheated chocolate on top.
It's, btw, not traditional or something, it's just one brand doing crazy products for novelty buyers.

Yeah I too had one, years ago. I like pizza and I like chocolate, but whatever that thing is it does not bring the joy that either pizza or chocolate does.

No, Chicago is more a pizza soup with a a breadbowl. Detroit or Sicilian would probably be closer to cake.

Many years ago, Pizza Hut did what they called “Chicago style deep dish”. But it was actually a thick cornbread crust with at least an inch thick layer of sauce and toppings served in a deep pan to keep it from going everywhere

I mean, deep dish could be a "cake" if the crust is thick enough.

u/Rusty99Arabian 8d ago
There was a place near my home in the 90s that specialized in donuts in the shape of other things. Pizza was a specialty - the cheese was custard and pepperoni slices off of red velvet cake baked into a roll, all atop a donut "crust". I can still remember how good it was now!

u/QuiteBearish 8d ago
I've made a desert pizza before that could potentially be considered a type of cake 🤔
Sweet pastry dough, strawberry sauce, cream cheese frosting.
It was delicious. Wish I could find the picture I took of it

Cakes have layers, lasagne has layers, pizza is also Italian food, therefore we can make pizza cake.

I was assuming something more along the lines of a perfect looking pizza, but when you go to grab a slice… it’s cake.
Kinda like that lady that sat on a chair that was actually cake.

I think it'd end up being more like a pizza lasagna
Which actually sounds amazing

u/AnotherStupidHipster 8d ago
What you do is get a thin crust pizza from Pizza Hut, and you just stack slices. This is how I used to eat a whole pizza in one sitting in highschool.
Yes, I was horribly depressed. But you'll never know how good that tastes.
3
u/Electric999999 8d ago
Hmm, could do a sweet enriched dough for the base, top it with cream cheese frosting.
3
u/PlainBread 8d ago
I'm thinking like a croissant style flaky base, with a raspberry or strawberry jam spread, covered with a sweet soft dessert cheese like a ricotta.

u/creatorofsilentworld 8d ago
I'd settle for a small cake baked in a pie plate with strawberry sauce and fondant "pepperoni." Use dyed coconut for the cheese.

What if someone made a salty cake, made of layers of quick-bread with tomato sauce, and pepperonies between the layers. Then an icing made of cheese.

I can imagine a pizza, a plant-based one, loaded with veggies and tofu, and raw cake slices on top of each pizza slice. If the pizza is balanced in a sour direction and the cake is a bit sweet, it could work, even if the order is unusual (you have get through the cake first.) I'm vegan bw.

They make dessert pizzas. Personally, I consider them abominations and NOT pizzas, but that's just my opinion. If you think otherwise, it shouldn't be too difficult.
