A local (non DC) bakery makes this chocolate hazelnut fancy torte dealie. Its like 8 different layers of various things, but it all reminds me of a fererro rocher. One of the layers is like a crispy thin piece that is like the crispy layer of the rocher. Ugh its so delicious. My bday is at the end of the month and I already know this is on its way

It's pricey for the size, but its so rich I only eat a little at a time and it lasts a while.

The best cake I ever ate was at my brother's bar mitzvah at a country club in Woodbury, New York. No idea what type it was. I'll never taste it again. A couple of years ago I had carrot cake for the first time and thought I'd hate it, but kind of loved it. So now carrot cake is my new favorite.


What kind of cake was it?

A really good fairly dense, but not too dense, moist chocolate cake with real homemade frosting that is not too thin nor too thick.

There are so many other desserts that aren’t cake.

Have you heard of the cannoli bar/stations at weddings? Or a roving cannoli server? They pipe in the cream right there and add your favorite toppings to the edge. If you do get married, I think you should do this if you don’t, well then throw yourself a kick ass party at some point and do this—it sounds so fun and delicious! Even if it’s not your current favorite dessert. That’s my two cents from an internet stranger 😁

Straight up white/white birthday cake with sugar icing. Bakery kind, not grocery store kind. It's hard to find these that have actual sugary icing and not fluffy. But it's possible!

That's an every day food, not a birthday dessert.

My mom's chocolate cake with chocolate icing and a homemade marshmallow middle layer with pecans. She has passed away now, and I've never made it for myself.
