Cake

Yellow cake with chocolate frosting is THE BEST.  I don't like white cake... it's not the same.  And it bothers me that when I ask bakers for yellow cake, they always give me white.  No. no. no.  

I also like chocolate cake with WHIPPED chocolate frosting.  Regular frosting is too much.  Generally, I only like light frostings (like the lighter butter creams) or whipped frosting.

I hate you all now, by the way.  I can't eat stuff like this while pregnant, so I've told H the first thing he's doing when I go into labor is calling our local bakery and ordering a delicious cake for when I get home.

I dislike cake. All forms of cake. I can be like, 'oh hey, key lime would be good'. Or, 'Chocolate is way better than vanilla!' But when it comes right down to it, I hate cake. It's gross. 

I will happily take any cake you do not want.  

Chocolate cake is generally my favorite, but I like almost any kind of cake. Except carrot cake, which has never really made sense to me.

Sounds fair.

Ice Cream cake is the best and not that Carvel crap needs to have real cake in it. I had an Oreo ice cream cake for graduation the leftovers didn't last very long.

My favorite is birthday cake. It doesn't even matter what kind of birthday cake, it just always tastes better when it's for someone's birthday.

Wait, why can't you eat cake while pregnant? Apparently, I did pregnancy wrong.

It's not a general rule, it's just my midwife and birth instructor have me on a low sugar diet.

Oh okay. I don't think I could go without cake that long. You're a strong woman.

I didn't vote b/c the only kind of cake I like is red velvet.  No idea why, but I don't like any other kind.  Frosting on the other hand...I can and do eat that out of the can.

And ditto on ice cream cake being the best:)  If I could figure out the logistics we would just have that for the wedding.

FI is insisting on ice cream cake for the wedding lolol. Apparently there are ways to make it work.  I hear Cold Stone Creamery makes them and they can even be on display for a couple hours without turning into a dripping, melty mess.

Anything with cream cheese frosting.

Easy cake for cake addicts:

1 box cake mix
4 eggs
1 can fruit pie filling

Stir up in a large bowl, using a spatula until well mixed.  Pour into Pam-sprayed bundt pan or angelfood cake pan.  (Oblong pan works, too, but I'm not sure about the timing.)  Bake @ 375 for about 45 -55 minutes.  Very moist.

Good combinations: chocolate with cherry pie filling, white with peach pie filling, spice with apple pie filling.  Blueberries taste OK, but look weird.

I will eat any cake except tres leches.

I've done this before! The chocolate with cherry pie filling. Amazingly good.

I'm no help...I'm from New Orleans, and our cake was a traditional almond-flavored white cake with white buttercream frosting. It's delicious, and I've got about 10lbs of it hidden in the freezer for emergencies. At least that's what's traditional here... you can even get a "wedding cake" snowball here that has the same flavor. Seriously... kids order snowballs and say "wedding cake" snowball, as if there is only one flavor of wedding cake that exists. People expect it/crave it/talk about it in the days leading up to the wedding/threaten to never speak to you again if you serve anything else. If you have chocolate or plain vanilla cake at a New Orleans wedding, people will be all like WHAAAAAAAA??? I CAN'T EAT THISSSSSSS! WHERE IS THE WEDDING CAKE?

THAT SOUNDS SO DELICIOUS!!!

And now it's midnight, and I want cake. And I'm wholly against mug-cakes, so I may have to bake an entire one. And my FI is on a business trip, so as long as I eat it all before he comes back, I won't even have to share.

Mmmm... Cake.

My uncle was a baker and always made the cakes for whatever cake occasions there were in my family and the cakes were sooo good and the frosting was amazing. I've tried a lot of cake since he died and none of the frosting tasted remotely the same so I' haven't really been into cake since then. It's been 14 years and I still have yet to find this magical frosting even though I bake a lot now and have gone through most of his recipes. Pretty sure if I ever find it I will eat bowls of it.

Oh but I love I've cream cake because crunchies.

PrincessOfHavoc

I voted for all cake since I'm a greedy, fat pig like that. As in make a cake and eat it all.

Chocolate or fruitcake however are my first loves.

Channing Tatum is a fan of Funfetti cake:

"I just love cake," Tatum enthused. "Confetti cake, to be specific. It has little colored candies inside the cake, and then you get the confetti icing, which is really hard to find sometimes.

“It's not icing with sprinkles on top,” the actor insisted. “It's icing that actually has candies inside of it. It's Funfetti icing."

My cousin had this revolutionary wedding cake where half of it was cheesecake!!! omg it was incredible!

Do we have opinions about cake pops? I've never had one before, and until this past week, I didn't even know what they were made of.

Is it not just cake baked in one of those special press baking gizmos in the shape of a ball with a lollipop stick inserted?  I've never eaten cake pops but I've conjectured what they would taste like...

I loooooove cake pops! It's just cake and icing mixed together to form a ball that you put on a stick and cover with more icing. Delicious.

That does sound pretty awesome.  And I love cake.  We had someone bring cake into work today.  Knowing I had cake at home that must be eaten (and I will eat some later) I still had a slice.  Because cake.

My FSIL made a big batch of mint-chocolate cake pops recently. So glad she brought them to a party, they are dangerous. 

If you like a high icing:cake ratio, highly recommend.

I make the icing-cake mixture cake pops, then cover them in chocolate candy melts. I was told at a party that I was an evil person for making them, by someone who had eaten 6 of them. I was not sorry.

Also I like to make them look cute. I made Golden Snitch cake pops for my FSIL's Harry Potter party and it was good times.

I'm a sucker for any type of cake out there.  My last two creations were red velvet and Swedish sour cream with crumble on top.  It's apparently bad luck for a bride to make her own cake, which is the only reason I'm not doing it -- I like to make it as much as eat it! 

LadyMillil

I'm a cupcake girl, which I consider a personal cake. I will eat all the cupcakes except red velvet. Gross.

How about having a small regular cake for cutting while the ice cream cake is kept frozen in the kitchen, and then serve the ice cream cake?
