Massachusetts has Boston Creme Pie. South Dakota has Kuchen. Oklahoma claims Bizcochito as it's own. But should Maryland have an official state dessert? The debate rages on!
ABSOLUTELY NOT.
Wait, the debate is over whether or not they should have a dessert, not what the dessert should be?
Peculiar.

I would just like to say I am pretty good at baking boston cream pies.
Also that those "debate rages on" links are pretty weak.

I'm not sure about this, but I think that Kuchen never actually passed, as hard as the baker-lobbyists tried. They pretty much spent the entire legislative session giving out free kuchen to anyone even vaguely associated with the lawmaking process.

Weak. Also, in response to that first Daily Times link, milk is the state beverage of most states. More state lists.
(Also, it would perhaps help consensus if Maryland wasn't culturally at least three states.)

The first versions might have been baked in pie tins. Boston Cream Pie is a remake of the early American "Pudding-cake pie."
I would never classify it as a cake: I've only seen them baked as pies. However--and I'm from the area--the only time I've really had Boston Creme Pies was in the 50-cent single-serving preservative-laden form that you get at Stah Mahket.
It makes me wonder why Boston's associated with beans as well. It's not like there are baked-bean stands lining the streets here.
(Disclaimer: I know next to nothing about food, except that it goes in the mouth that chews.)

I don't believe Oklahoma has a state dessert. But this year, Oklahoma lawmakers designated the watermelon as (wait for it) the state vegetable!
As one online respondent said on the local newspaper's Web site, "I think we should designate the Legislature as the state vegetable." And, as any Okie can tell you, okra is the state's vegetable of choice.

Native Marylander. The cake looks good, but 5th grade was hard enough as it was, having to learn the 33 counties and the state everythings: from memory, I've got checkerspot butterfly, Chesapeake Bay retriever, black-eyed Susan, Baltimore oriole, and, of course, sweet, sweet jousting. And I know there are more. We had a fish. Wide-mouthed bass? Nope, it's the rockfish.

I'm torn. On the one hand I want to scream "WTF YOU INCOMPETENT TWITS, DON'T YOU HAVE SOMETHING BETTER TO BE DOING?" at the legislators. On the other hand I realize that if they were actually discussing anything of any significance, it'd be in the context of trying to figure out how to screw the average citizen even more.
Of course, then I realize that the entire thing is likely just a smokescreen to distract people from bills they've quietly voted on to make everyone's life that much more miserable. Either that or someone got a hefty bribe^H^H^H^H^H er... "campaign contribution" from a dessert maker.
Or maybe I'm just extra cynical today...

In case you were wondering why the Maryland state dessert isn't the Lady Baltimore Cake (you weren't), tis because the Lady Baltimore Cake is actually from South Carolina and the name existed before the cake did (sorta).
I assume this Smith Island cake has Old Bay in it.

I like making things from scratch, but I also don't mind the boxed stuff. Newer recipes include boxed cake mix because the quality is pretty good these days, and the outcome is more consistent. It's just less sifting, measuring, and folding in all the dry stuff, which is where most people have gone wrong when they end up with an unpleasantly doughy cake; less guesswork.
It's the store-bought candy in the recipe that made me blink. I'd want to substitute home-made fudges.

BTW -- The Parker House Hotel (now the Omni Parker House Hotel) in Boston is often credited with serving the first Boston cream pies. The Parker House is also where the Parker House roll was invented and (some claim) the term 'scrod' was coined.

As I have mentioned before, "Boston Creme" is not a kind of pie. Perhaps Maryland does need a state pie, but if so, they should do themselves a favor by choosing an actual pie. I consider this thread to be intentionally inflammatory, given that the logical choice, crab pie, will go nowhere.
