It is my birthday on Saturday! I'm being indecisive about what kind of cake to make. Or possibly a pie; I did a chocolate rum pie last year. I usually default to some kind of lemon cake (I have a good lemon chiffon cake recipe), but I think I'd like to something different.

-Anything but cheesecake.
-I like spice cake, but don't feel like it for this.

Red Velvet?

black forest cake?

Happy early birthday!

From me too.

Also, make pound cake.

I used to have a maple walnut cake at school that was amazing.

Chocolate Kahlua mousse cake?

I don't like coffee (you should have seen my face fall when a bakery box was opened up at NYE to reveal a tiramisu), but I have a friend who's a little obsessed with Kahlua who might appreciate that. Recipe?

I'm seconding a recipe for this, it sounds fabulous!

Ice cream cake! I do this for my boo whenever it is her b-day, usually. Unless she requests something else.

I usually make something really stable and good with being frozen then thawed for the base (a sponge cake or something with a high fat content generally works best) and then I get the best ice cream possible and mix whatever I like into it. Some things I've done have been raspberries, blackberries, pistachios, hazelnuts, different candy bars... You could put anything in that you pleased, though.

Making a ganache to pour over at the last moment is totally optional, but recommended.

If you live in any part of the world with a Red Ribbon Bakery shop, GET THE MANGO CAKE. It is like heaven on a plate.

We make a rum cake every year. It's really, really moist. It's supposed to have nuts but we generally don't put them on because no one likes them in our family.

Chocolate with cream cheese frosting.

What about a Pithiviers des rois/Galette de rois?

It's a cake with almond/rum filling. Delicious.

Here's a recipe. It really is wonderful beyond words.

Pie. Totally pie. Every year for my birthday as a kid my mother would make strawberry rhubarb pie. Which is my favorite desert in spite of the fact that I'm a super chocoholic. But I'm not a big fan of cake. Pie is the best.

If you must go for cake, mousse cake is the way to go.

Make yourself a castle cake, and if anyone complains, declare yourself Absolute Monarch and ~~chop off their heads~~ take away their cake.

For serious, though, do you prefer to make cakes from scratch, or from mixes?

Hey, mine is Sunday! We can be birthday folks together.

I DO have a really good vegan chocolate cake recipe that's really easy!

No idea, but happy birthday!

I have no idea what kind of cake you should make (I love cake, and certain pies, but I'm just not that creative) but I hope you find something good! (If you find a good receipe you should totally post it here on f!s, though I doubt I'll actually use it. I'll think about it and sigh wistfully, though.)

And happy (early) birthday! Hope you have a nice day! <3

Birthday pie!? That's like a treason somewhere >:U

j/k I remember doing a thing on a birthday once to get chuckles out of someone by making a bit of a show of getting a McDonald apple pie, sticking a candle in it, and sitting alone at a table to eat it. It didn't make them laugh actually, but I get a kick out of performing exaggerated scenarios to make someone feel sad.

Happy early birthday!
I love yellow (lemon) cake with chocolate icing. Home-made, cream cheese, chocolate icing. My mom would make it with, of course, cream cheese and powdered sugar, but also a bit of butter (like a tablespoon) and condensed milk, because my dad used that in his coffee, so we always had some. You use bittersweet baking chocolate and add a touch of liquid (usually it was just leftover) coffee.

Trust me on this - i hate coffee, and you *do not taste it*. It just adds this richness to the icing. My mom always made a layer cake, and after a day or so, the whole cake was just...so wonderfully moist and rich and perfect (no refrigeration! That's a cake killer).

Enjoy your day!

Happy Early Birthday!

I heard a recipe, once, that I've always wanted to try, called (Almost) Better Than Sex Cake. What you do is take a chocolate cake, then poke holes in it and smother it with caramel sauce. Once the caramel sauce has soaked in, cover it with whipped topping, then drizzle chocolate sauce on top of it and then sprinkle the whole thing with toffee chips.

My grandmother actually used to do a similar thing, but with lemon cake and soaking it with lime Jell-o.

I suppose you could do something similar with alcohol, if you are inclined?

Coca-Cola Cake
White Chocolate Mousse Truffle Cake
Mississippi Mud Cake
Pistachio Pound Cake with Vanilla Almond Icing

French Silk and Caramel Pie
Enormous Butter Tart Pie
Triple Peanut Butter Cookie Pie

But, there are also brownies because brownies are always applicable.

Fudgy Oreo Brownies
Sour Cream Swirl Fudge Brownies
New Orleans Praline Brownies

Ah, damn, since you want something other than lemon, I can't suggest Lemon Meringue Pie or a Key Lime Pie.
Strawberries in January are stupid as well, Carrot Cake has spices, I think so... huh.
