I too have made cakes for everyone in my family including one that travelled over 1000 km to my mother and brother about a month ago. I don't think I've had one made or bought(yuck!) for me in over 12 yrs.
A nice meal with my family is all I need from my family. And maybe they could plant a tree too because of the reams of paper they use to make me cards and pictures 
... my 14 year old daughter frosted and decorated it for me. Having her decorate me a cake is the best!
That's soooo sweet! That has to be the best. My boys decorated a cake for my hubby on his birthday one year, it was hilarious!

I want to have a big 'ole slice of cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory along with their awesome spaghetti. I would be a happy camper.
I LOVE Cheesecake Factory! Yum! Good idea! I'm going to have to keep that one in mind.
Oh, that's a tough one. Hmmm, chocolate fudge cake, with a strawberry and ganache filling. Thick buttercream icing. Fancy scroll work with buttercream roses. Pretty simple really, but it's all about the cake for me! This is usually what I make for myself!
Served to me on a dish that I didn't wash. In an immaculate kitchen that I didn't clean.
I refuse to make my own cake!!
However I would love a large Scotts man in kilt (shrit not required) to bring me even a hostess cupcake....
Umm can i switch my answer? I think that this is a winning idea! Just as long as I can keep the Scotts man 
In fact 86 the Hostess im not a big fan just give me the Scott! 
Last year on my birthday, my husband bought me a Walmart cake and paid over 20.00 for it. I said, why would you waste 20.00 on a Walmart cake when we don't even like Walmart cake. He says he just wanted me to have a cake on my birthday. I says, I love you honey, and it was a wonderful sentiment, but really if you want to throw away 20.00 at least get something we will eat. lol. The cake ended up being thrown away because no one would eat it. This year, he bought me a sampler pack of cheesecake. Yum! Now that's what I'm talking about. As much as we see cake around here, this was a much better solution...my favorite...the chocolate caramel turtle cheesecake. Ohhhhhh, I just got a cold chill.
One word "CARVEL". I love cake and I eat it when I bake leftover batter but, for every year since I can remember (except for my sweet 15) I have always had Ice cream cake. One layer vanilla, one layer chocolate and crunchies in the center, iced in Whipped icing and i'll be in heaven! No cake! I grew up in RI and it was pretty chilly in October.
I'd love a cake made by Rose Levy Berenbaum, Toba Garrett or Sylvia Weinstock. Two tiers. Vanilla and chocolate.
I would make myself a cheesecake! I don't like cake very much (not to say i don't eat the scraps sometimes). i LOVE cheesecake tho.. that would be a real treat. probably toblerone cheesecake, or cookie dough,
I was inspired by a thread here quite some time ago to start making my own birthday cakes. Last year was the first time I did...the design was inspired by some note cards and the flavors were my favorite. http://cakecentral.com/gallery/1974211
This year I'm thinking something with hazelnut flavor, maybe vanilla cake, hazelnut pastry cream filling (or pastry cream layered with Nutella?) and hazelnut mocha bc. For design, I haven't decided yet.

Pretty.
My birthday is in March. I will make a red velvet cake from scratch. I will be 50, but I'm not into red hats. I love Blink 182, and my cake will have piped "What's my age again?" on it. It will be frosted with indydebi's buttercream. It will have partial fondant on the top. It will have lave on it, and a ribbon. I've not worked out the details.
I can relate to all the Birthday Cakeless Bakers out there, I never get a Birthday cake myself!
I would love to be able to have my grandmother make me a Butterscotch Poundcake. Normally I don't like cakes w/o icing and I don't like poundcake but this wasn't your average ordinary cake. But sadly MeeMaw isn't with us anymore and even though I can make one that everyone loves, its just not the same.
Also I love this chocolatey fudge cake my mom makes with boiled chocolate fudge icing. It's in a close tie with her New Orleans Pecan Pie.
As far as decoration - don't need any, ironically enough I don't care what it would look like!
My birthday is the end of this month and to be honest I love Costco Cake. Since I'm not about to make my own birthday cake, that's what I want. No mess, no fuss, and delicious!
I have to agree with Dani1081 - I LOVE Costco's cakes - white with cheesecake mousse. I actually told my MIL (who makes and decorates cakes) to get me that cake for my birthday this year.
When I was a little girl, my mom always made me a german's chocolate cake. Then, I used to like the Coscto carrot cake, then it was Mrs. Grace lemon cake just because I don't want to make it myself. This year I just want a homemade cake. I'm thinking of making a new cake recipe I found: dark chocolate cake with orange chocolate ganache with an orange buttercream. But I'll try it out first on my husband's office to see if I even want that.
