Do you make your own birthday cakes? I had mine all planned out and then hubby announced that he will be taking care of my cake and that I am not to make one! 
I planned to make a purse cake so my neighbor would be able to see it since she would like one made for late December. Just curious.....
My hubby announced to me this past weekend that he is making me my birthday cake. 
I said okay, but you better make it, not buy it! He said he would make it all by himself. This I gotta see!
Maybe you can make a purse cake just for practice and invite your neighbor over for cake and coffee?
Maybe he found someone to make it? As for your cake just do it anyways. Everyone's happy. ??? HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
First, I am not married, been there done that. But, in my opinion, if you want to make your own birthday cake, you should be able to do just that.
Tell your husband that you really appreciate him wanting to get your cake, but that you want to make this particular cake and it really means a lot to you. I bet he will understand. Good luck.

Sorry, I'm old-school on this. I grew up with the idea that you do no work on your birthday -- including making your cake! Your husband probably looks at baking as work and wants to give you the day off. Let him have his fun doing your cake, and you can always make another one for your neighbor at another time.
If you really wanna make your own cake.....go for it and just tell hubbby if he's gonna get you a cake that you think that's awesome and REALLY thougtfull and you'd love to have an ice cream cake!! LoL then you've got the cake and the ice cream covered LOL
Let him make you a cake. I agree that you do no work on your birthday. You should do whatever you want. So....with that said....you want to sit in your kitchen and make a purse cake for fun! Some people might look at making cakes as work, but I look at it as fun.
My birthday was last month and my husband did EVERYTHING for me all day long. He told me I could do whatever I wanted for my birthday. So I went to Michael's for about an hour and spent $60 on new cake supplies, came home and played in the kitchen for a few hours. No interruptions from the 5 month old cuz daddy took the day off to take care of me and her!
So tell him to bake away and then move over cuz you are playing in the kitchen too! 
Good Luck and Happy Birthday 
I say if your hubby wants to do something special like that and bake you a cake...let him. You could always try the purse cake another day. That's my 2 cents.

exactly. In my house...we have a BIRTHDAY WEEK! lol
You can ALWAYS make cake, your hubby making cake? A once a year event.
Let him have his fun, don't discourage him..you may need him to step in as a back up one day!
Having Hubby make your cake is wonderfully romantic and thoughful................if he is going to do the clean up! My honey is a romantic and when we first got together he would make me breakfast in bed. He made everything, tiny fried potatoes I love, cheese omlet w/fresh made pico de gallo, toast, fresh squeezed orange juice, fresh pot of coffee. It was so sweet it brought a tear to my eye but lordy nothing compared to the tears I shed or near heart attack I had when I finally got out of bed and saw the kitchen. He used just about every pan in the house, the counters and table were full of dirty bowls and dishes, not to mention potato peelings, egg shells and what not in the sink! After the initial shock I laughed so hard and told him I love you dearly and this is the nicest thing any one has every done for me but PROMISE me you'll never do it again. So make sure you have a clean up clause!!!!
awwwwwwww...thats so sweet!
i'm so sick and tired of cake...on my birthday we usually get a cheesecake.

LOL -- we've been known to have a birthday week or two!!
I had my b-day cake all planned out too when my husband said that he really wanted to do something for me and bake me a cake. I thought it was really sweet of him. He came in and out of the kitchen with a few questions but did it all by himself. We ate that cake at home on my actual birthday, then I made the cake that I had planned when my family got together for my birthday. Ultimately, it's whatever you want on your b-day, but it is sweet of your DH to offer!
I would love for my DH to make my bday cake. I would actually sit in the kitchen and watch him, wouldnt that be fun!?! My DH is sweet though for my birthday a few weeks back my present from him was a day at the spa on my birthday and the day after he watched the kids so i could make my 1st halloween cake. I had a birthday weekend but it would sure be nice to have a birthday week, maybe when i'm 60. . Anyway the whole point of my rambling is let him make the cake and like others said do your purse cake another day or do it anyway. Whatever you want, its your bday.
My hubby has always made my bday cake! Now, he supervises our kids while they make it. they get so much enjoyment out of it. I would never take that away from them. Plus it makes me feel great that they enjoy giving me something back for all the cakes I do for them!

i didn't know he was going to bake it for you--well i'd love to see mine bake & decorate one
Well my husband bought me a cake from the grocery store once. The man working scribbled some chicken scratch that resembled my name and I just smiled when i got the cake!
Also I was bought a DQ cake once and now they all know better!
But in reality I really do not eat cake on my birthday-I did get my free Applebees molten cake the day I served though!
