it's my birthday... Im tryna figure out what kind of cake to make

Happy Birthday.

It is my brothers too. I was going to make him a cake, but his wife decided she was going to bake him one, so there went my practice.

Anyway have a great day, and enjoy your cake, whatever you choose to do....

First of......

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Secondly.....

make whatever kind of cake YOU want!

No, I do not think you are crazy. Try something new. Something that you have been wanting to try.

Happy Birthday.

Make something totally self-indulging!

Happy birthday!! Why not try a Whimsical (topsy/turvy) cake? Those look so fun. I haven't made one of those, but intend to try soon -- maybe for my birthday on the 27th!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

What is your favorite cake? Favorite color? Favorite flower? Is there a new technique that you have been dying to try out but have not had an occasion to use it? Let your imagination run wild and make your dream birthday cake!

I did a strawberry and vanilla layer cake last night, with a white choc buttercream...it was YUMMMY!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Happy Birthday! Today is my little boys 4th birthday!

!!!!!!!!!HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!

THIS IS WHAT I DID FOR MY BIRTHDAY CAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh I forgot the most important part, Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday!

I know- people just don't understand. For my birthday this year my SIL said they were just going to get a cake from Dairy Queen so I didn't have to make my own I said "Are you kidding? That's the only way I know I'll get a cake I like!" I know, I'm very picky. But I don't know anyone who likes to cook or bake as much as I do and the thought of a store bought cake makes me very sad.

Enjoy your cake!

Happy Birthday!!
I like to make girly cakes for my birthday since I have two boys and they hate girly cakes. Make something you really want.

Happy birthday!!!!

Do your favorite cake!!! My favorite is cheesecake (plain without any fruit/jam thing) and that's what I had on my birthday!!!

Have a great day!!!!!

Happy Birthday!!

I know what you mean, people just dont get that its kinda our birthday present to ourselves, getting to bake and decorate, something we love.

Definately post a pic and have a great day decorating your cake.

Happy Birthday!! For my B-day I made a french vanilla cake with strawberry filling and strawberry BC. Yummy!!! and I decorated it all pretty and frilly in pink. It was so much fun!!

Happy Birthday to you!! I would indulge..forget about any diets, restrictions (to a certain degree here), and just do What I wanted, How you wanted! Try something elegant, fun, silly, pretty...it's your day...enjoy it to the fullest! Again, happy birthday! Have a wonderful day!

Happy Birthday...I just went through this...my bday was on July 25th...my remedy...i let my daughter who is 15 bake me a cake (she loves to watch me bake and help alot) and that was the best cake of all!!!

happy birthday! Make your favorite cake

Happy Happy Birthday!! Enjoy your day!!

thank you everyone! I didn't even know I had two pages of replies. I was just informed that they were gonna be buying me a cake so I am kinda bummed. My fave cake is tres leches. Last year my mom bought me a chocolate tres leches which was WAY nasty. Firstly I had never t asted a chocolate tres leches cake so I didn't know what to expect. Secondly for stor cakes I am NOT the chocolate person.. aS a matter of fact I will almost always choose white or yellow over chocolate althought the chocolate reipe from epicurious is the bomb!


some people just dot understand

Happy Birthday... and your not crazy. Heck, I turned 21 this year and instead of partying with friends (like most 21 year-olds do on their b-days) I was at home making my own birthday cake.

My son's 5th birthday is the 7th and he wants a pirate ship cake.

For my birthday, I told my husband NOT to get me a cake, I wanted a birthday DINNER!!!

Frog80: Unlike making your own cake, you won't be making your own Dinner! LOL

I agree! While I prefer to make my own cake, I refuse to cook on my birthday

Speaking of Epicurious recipes...their "Double Chocolate Torte" recipe is absolutely DIVINE!!!! Even those who aren't chocolate lovers had a second piece.
