Birthday cake






I love birthday cake.........well shoot, I love cake period. I love wedding cake........I know, I hear people make comments like "well here we go, another dry piece of cake', but to me, the weddings that I have gone to, the cake wasn't dry at all..............shoot I have gone to weddings, where each layer was a different flavor.......with different fillings.........you name it, it was there. I seem to lean towards white cake. Not sure why, but white is my choice if I have to chose between chocolate or white...........sorry you chocoholics out there.







Now a good carrot cake is always welcomed, and a slice of banana cake won't be pushed away either.........oooo, and jelly roll or pumpkin roll are tops on my list too............but I have dropped hints like crazy to my family and they don't seem to be picking up on it..........BOSTON CREAM PIE......which isn't a pie at all, but a wonderful cake........oh I drool just thinking of it. I have a very nice friend who surprised me one year, with a Boston cream pie.........HOMEMADE!!!!! I shared, but not very willingly.
On Saturday, the oldest grandson was invited and went to a birthday pary........the little one some how ended up there too and even tho' it was at Chucky Cheese and he was playing games like everyone else, he seemed to have missed out of eating cake. We went to the grocery store and bought one of those little white round, white cakes..........I am so excited..........I mean cake for no reason at all, except that it's in the house.............whoa, it's like some sort of holiday. Are you drooling yet?

LOL. I love this post too! The reason is I bake and decorate cakes. So I know a lot of bakers who think that grocery store cakes are yucky. But not me! I have even been known to go get a white cake with white icing just for myself.

It's pretty rare to find a cake I don't like. But sometimes nothing but the cheep grocery store white cake will do for me.
