Store bought? You cheater lol Just kidding lol  It depends on how I feel; if I get to go to my hometown my sisters and I make everything from scratch but if I have to make dinner with the kids I may get a store bought cake or pie if I plan on making other things from scratch.  There are some delicious options available so I don't feel guilty about it.

There is nothing like a home made pie. My mother and mother in law used to make great pies but unfortunately either one can do it any longer. My sister in law usually get pies from a local orchard. They are pretty good but not as good as moms.

I've done both.  Totally depends on what kind everyone wants, whether or not I am also working that day, how rushed I am.

Home made pies are the best. I love making pies and it is a family tradition to make the pies the night before and I generally even start from scratch from pumpkins.

I don't know how long ago that i bought a store bought cake or pie.  I think it was an angel food cake for a special dessert. Although  i will admit to buying pie crust . It is so hard rolling it out anymore. Hands are shot. But still make the fillings.

If you can find REALLY good one and warm before serving, it is alright.
Just do not buy a 'cheap one' that looks bad.
I find the ones at Sams Club are excellent and VERY large

Depends on the amount of time I have available for the holiday.
I prefer homemade pies over store bought, but if time is short I appreciate the convenience of store bought.

I always make my pies and cakes.  That way I know what went in to the process. Store bought pies and cakes never taste quite right.  And who knows what happened in the kitchen when it was being made.

Being a guy, I can definitely say I'd enjoy eating either, although I prefer if given the choice, to have homemade. However, if I was forced to provide them, it's a no-brainer I'd go straight to the store and buy them, I absolutely wouldn't know how to make them, and if I knew, I wouldn't like to make 'em. Don't get me wrong, I can help with everything around the house, cleaning, dishes, and stuff, it's just that cooking and I are like water and oil, lol  :wave:

It doesn't matter to me.  I love them all and a lot of store bought things are better than homemade.  Save the time and buy one.  LOL

homemade pies and cakes because they taste better and you can feel accomplished cause you cooked ;D

I have the best of both worlds, the school here sells homemade pies that you pick up the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. You order what kind you want and the kids in the culinary program make them, they are super yummy and support the program. It is a wonderful thing  ;D

I prefer to have the homemade cakes and pies because it is nothing like making your own. But I do like the store bought cakes & pies too, so it all depends on what you feel the need for. It really does not matter, but it is nothing wrong with having both homemade and bought.

as much as i like sweat, blood, tears, and pure skill(s) in homemade pies, I'd rather buy one and save everyone the grief. Didn't like the store bought pie? No worries my feelings aren't hurt. I'll just lie to you next year by putting it in the oven for 5 minutes, sprinkling confection sugar on top, and then serving it in on a plate from my house.

I definitely prefer home made pies, but to save time, washing dishes and using electricity while cooking, I have converted to store-bought pies and cakes (and actually really like them too!)

We go store bought. My wife and I normally get up early on Thanksgiving to prepare the meal so, we really don't want to go through the hassle of making a pie also. Marie's makes an outstanding pie and we normally do a pie for thanksgiving.

    while it would be nice to have Homemade Pies and Cakes For The Holidays, there is enough reguler homemade food, so we just by Store Bought cakes and pies

honestly homemade everything is the best but reality is a lot of times we don't have time to prepare it. So 70% of the time I get my pies out of a store.Yes I cheat!

I always prefer the homemade version, but when time is packed with so many other things, the store/bakery  pies and cake are a nice alternative.  :)

Oh yes it matters because I think homemade pies and cakes taste better.
