I love store bought cakes! When I was pregnant with my son, my sisters bought me two cakes. One was a marbled cake and the other one was a strawberry and cream. I didn't let anyone have any of it and sat there with a GALLON OF MILK(it was skim--that count's doesn't it) and ate half of each cake. The next morning I polished off the other halves.

I figured I was two weeks overdue and the cake would "help" Andrew come out. Or maybe that's what I kept telling myself as I sat there with chocolate, whipped cream, strawberries and buttercream all over myself. I think I actually cried when there wasn't any cake left.

Let's see if I get a cake on Wednesday.

I loooove cake, but I found a decadent, over-the-top cheesecake recipe the week before my b-day. As far back as I can remember I always had a birthday cake - it was kinda strange having a b-day cheesecake, but it was delicious! I posted the pic of the Brownie Bottomed Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake in my pics last night...take a look if you'd like!!

I had a DQ ice cream cake for mine. Next year, I am asking for chocolate cheesecake!

Yes, I love cake! But I'm oh-so-picky & I usually strongly hint or tell my daughter which one she's to tell Daddy I want. I love to hit the local bakeries & cupcakeries and check out their offerings. On FN, I saw Whole Foods carries cupcakes from "We Take the Cake" bakery in FL, so I'm off to try those today!
It's not all fancy bakery cakes though. This year it was the death-by-chocolate looking round at Costco. It was yummy. Sticky, gooey chocolate icing & dark chocolate cake, with chocolate shavings. I could have no more than a sliver at a time; it was SO rich. Last year it was a Coldstone ice cream cake (very disappointing).

I love to make my own birthday cake! It's my chance to make the cake I want!!

LOL!! Nope, no cake for me either! I would rather have a KA!! lol

Yes, I definitely want cake, but I'm really picky. Hubby knows there are only two local bakeries that I like. So, if it cant come from there, I dont want it! LOL!

I'm actually thinking of making my own cake, too. What better time to try out a new recipe or technique? LOL!

I love cake and will eat it anytime! For my birthday my dh and our boys usually bake me a cake. Last year it was red velvet. (they had to do it twice cos the dog ate the first cake). This year I'm hoping it will be red velvet again

yes I want cake. A really good cake and I dont want to make it. I always get a DQ cake. I HATE DQ cakes. Just once I want someone to out of their way for my birthday. All of my family receive beautiful cakes from me every year. I wish they would return the favor.

Absolutely! In fact, the question came up the other day "what is the one thing you could eat every single day" and my answer was CAKE! LOL!

Fortunately my younger daughter is a cake baker too so she always makes my birthday cakes and I know that they will be as yummy on the inside as they are beautiful on the outside!

ooooo yes please! For my birthday instead of making my own cake (not saying they are bad or anything lol plus i only started doing cakes just before my birthday this year so we always bought cakes from patisseries before then) i actually really like to buy this great sponge cake that if filled with fresh cream and covered in buttercream from a place called 'Ferguson Plarre Bakehouses' in Australia....it is SOOOOOO yummy!!!!! I have has them a couple of times and it is just soo nice and not too sicking sweet or anything and has a nice chocolate sponge.

I have been trying to find out what sort of buttercream they use on the outside so i can replicate it but i can't figure it out but i am going to try IMBC to see if it might comes close.

I also LOVE ice-cream cake and gelati cakes! Cookies and cream, chocolate and Ferrero Rochere (or how ever you spell it) flavours all in the one cake!....mmmmmmmmmm

I really like cheesecake for my birthday

Well I am turning the big 21 at the end of the month and I am defiantly making my cake! but I am already stressed because i dont know what design to choose! ....if i didnt make a cake i know that my mom or boyfriend would get me a cake from some where!

Actually I am not that big on cake but I do like it for my birthday. I had wanted to maybe make one for myself and have my husband and daughter decorate it but I think he was intimidated. My 4 year old would have gone to town! Last year I made a very good cake of all the flavors I liked best but the sad part is I usually don't make the effort for myself in what I would have wanted. . . it had a bottom border and that was it! One day!

I do know I'd love to have Chris Russom make me a cake. Except I don't have the money and wouldn't spend it anyway despite the fact but he is absolutely amazing.

My birthday is coming up! Ill be 26 in a few weeks. I love cake, unfortunatly. So yeah, Id love one. Chocolate or carrot cake. Oooo cheesecake! That would be great. Ive banned myself from that stuff right now though. :'( Gained too much from taste-testing my recipes (haha, right.) Oh god I wish cake had no calories.

Yeah, I'd love to have a cake for my birthday, but nobody ever wants to bake me the flavor I want with the icing I like, so I just do the sliver and thank you thing, wash it down with a whole lot of coffee.

Heck no! I'm already as big as the side of the house from everyone else's birthday cakes. I wouldnt mind a little Blue Bell Chocolate Chip though!!!!

Fresh strawberries and Blue Bell vanilla ice cream for me. please!!

No fancy carved cakes for me. I'd like a moist, light vanilla cake with light (maybe even Rich's Bettercreme) icing. I'm not always so boring, I do make the German chocolate, red velvet, carrot cakes, etc., but the plain cake is all that I want for my birthday.

I can still eat cake every day including my birthday. So more cake for me

Yes, I want a cake and I don't want to bake it. And I hope it is from scratch.

NOPE...NO WAY...NO HOW! i hate cake! i love making them, but i am sick of cake. i did so many cakes when i was in italy that i had cake scraps coming outta my ears!!! give me a cookie cake or brownies for my birthday!
