My son (12yo) has been making cake-pies for years (entered one in the fair this year and took division champion!) but his are just pie crust, pie filling halfway up, cake batter on top and bake. The one for the fair was pumpkin pie and coconut chiffon cake - his are actually pretty good!
I'm more of purist, I guess. I love a GOOD pumpkin pie, and I love a GOOD apple pie (only homemade for both), but I don't want either of them ruined by being covered with buttercream. I love a good buttercream, but NOT on pies. It's the same to me as covering a GOOD homemade cheesecake w/ fondant. I can't imagine ruining the cheesecake in that manner. Not for me....
