Do I have to pick just one?

In order, it would probably be: tiramisu, triple chocolate mousse cake, then a lemon curd cheesecake.

One I made recently, a “magic” chocolate flan cake, might just rise up into my Top 3 — just a perfect mix of a chocolate cake base with a creamy flan layer, topped with a caramel sauce to drizzle over the side. It was shockingly easy to make.

I adore good cakes and every year my family buys me the worst cakes, just truly inedible. I don’t know why they don’t go to the bakery where I buy cakes or just make one from an easy recipe. I think this year I need to get on the ball and just go buy my own cake.

I am usually a from scratch baking person but I had a relative that used to make the pistachio pudding tunnel cake that was popular in the 70s/80s and it was so good.

When I was a kid it was white cake with vanilla frosting and chocolate ice cream.


+1 to Baked & Wired coconut cupcakes!

I normally don’t go for “fancy” cupcakes, but Baked & Wired’s cupcakes are incredible.

I bet you are really fun.


I used to work with her. On her in birthday, when I brought a cake, she just had the fresh fruit topping. Lactose intolerant, but ate yogurt for breakfast everyday?

I'd like a Princess Cake but I'm the only person in my nuclear family who likes marzipan so I usually get something else.

Coconut cake with coconut pudding on top and in between the layers, frosted with whipped cream and sprinkled with shredded coconut.
