I came home from work yesterday to find my intire porch engulfed in flames. My mother and my teenage son were in the house and had no idea. I ran in the house yelled for them to get out... with a few choice words and then ran and grabed the hose and got it put out.. The fire depatment showed up and then the investigater(sp). We are all safe. So Cakers I need cake ideas... I want to make a yummy cake but keep in mind I am in NC and the temp is 90-95. I need ideas for flavor and fillings. I want to bring them this next weekend...This is a Vol. fire department so they are only there for Sat.day training.

I'm so glad that you and your family are all ok! Fresh fruit fillings are always popular with my clients when they have something extra special. My brother is a firefighter and German Chocolate is popular at his station

Red velvet is always a favorite here!

So glad you arrived when you did, and your family is okay. If it wasn't for my old dog, I'd not be here posting because of a house fire, so know the feeling when seeing flames.

As for cake, I vote chocolate for your firefighters. I've got a few firefighter friends, including my brother, and chocolate cake is a big fave with them.
