It’s not that we hate cake. Most of us have enjoyed a decadent slice of chocolate, coconut or red velvet celebratory cake before.
It tasted great as we toasted the bride and groom, graduate, retiree or anniversary couple.
Birthday cakes are a bit different and very personal. Young ones get turtles, trains and cartoon character cakes molded and decorated to their surprise.
Teens frequently bake their own or one for their friend. They choose ice cream cakes, funfetti or Oreo cookie cake. Cupcakes included for teens and sweetness is off the charts.
Adults get the wide open cake range from carrot with cream cheese frosting to molten chocolate lava and everything in-between.
Birthday choices run the spectrum without any guilt over bakery purchased cakes. Bundts and specialty types go over the top on stunning designs. Where to place the candles might problematic between the swirls, curls, ribbons and fresh flower petals.
