ETA: here's a pic, it was 8"-10" & the ice-cream was 19" tall.

OMG, I was just thinking the same thing today! My birthday is Sept. 24. My wonderful hubby is a "chicken baby" when it comes to baking, he pretty much limits himself to making a mean up-side down pineapple cake. He and my teen daughter use to buy me icecream cakes, I can't have that or any store bought cakes, developed an allergic reaction to egg yolks, go figure. My baby sister, one year made an outstanding red velvet cake from scratch. So this year I think, I will have to make it myself using an egg substitute and try some new method that I've been itching to try, yeah that's it! icon_lol.gificon_lol.gifthumbs_up.gif

What I like to do on my birthday is bake a cake, fill piping bags with colored frosting, and hand them over to my little brother and sister so they can 'secretly' make a cake and 'surprise' me with it.

Aah I love my siblings!

I only hobby bake as well, but man, this year all I wanted was pie! I ended up making a cake just so I could practice, but it turned out horrible! I was trying a bunch of new recipes and so many things went wrong. I wish I had just made a simple pie instead.

BANANA. CREAM. PIE.

I go bananas for BCP! I love caking but I love PIE even more lol. My hubby and kids buy me birthday pie at a local family owned restaurant that has the most amazing yummy pies

I always think I will attempt to make my own birthday.gif, but never do --- since I prefer pie over cake
