I guess because cake was always dessert at my home when I was growing up. My Dad had a sweet tooth and my Mom took care of it. :)Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11259640913845569431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517408.post-1151989551875888682006-07-04T01:05:00.000-04:002006-07-04T01:05:00.000-04:00Fewer than I used to, since the family is more sca...Fewer than I used to, since the family is more scattered. Anytime anyone was around, they got a cake. <BR/><BR/>My, your cake looks festive!

If it's a cake, I'll make it but that usually consists of choclate chip poundcake or the like. My brother, however, usually wants homemade oreo cookie ice cream dessert.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00454178191447024827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517408.post-1151976819466838332006-07-03T21:33:00.000-04:002006-07-03T21:33:00.000-04:00Hmmm.

You can see the last one she and I made on my blog - the March 21st entry. It didn't turn out all that great, because the bowl needed to be bigger/deeper to hold the doll pick securely. It was a doll cake with the cake, baked in a bowl, being the skirt.<BR/> For my husband's birthday recently, I made Paula Deen's Krispie Kreme 'bread' pudding. You can see it on my June 28 blog entry. It was okay, but definately not worth the money it took to make it. <BR/> Today, I plan to make Paula Deen's Gooey Butter Cake. I got the recipe on this blog a month or two? ago.Wandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05762254137339310890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517408.post-1151938747955875492006-07-03T10:59:00.000-04:002006-07-03T10:59:00.000-04:00Depends on the year!

My mom does the picky, character with a bizzilion stars cakes so she usually offers for any birthdays around here but some years I make layer cakes for family and friends.Rebel In Ontariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08898426309114426885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517408.post-1151933840720962712006-07-03T09:37:00.000-04:002006-07-03T09:37:00.000-04:00This sounds horrible, but I don't think I ever mak...This sounds horrible, but I don't think I ever make a birthday cake. We are not big cake eaters here and with only 2 of us at home we could never finish a whole cake. Plus I feel a little bad about bringing a half or partly eaten cake to work. <BR/>I do like to make other kinds of cakes and then bring them to work to share, but make sure that I have some to take home for us to share. I am even sometimes quite stingy with my cake.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15700720020186831174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517408.post-1151932219769108172006-07-03T09:10:00.000-04:002006-07-03T09:10:00.000-04:00I make as little as two (DD and DH) or as many as ...I make as little as two (DD and DH) or as many as 20 depending on if I am asked. I make character cakes, not with special pans but a flat sheet cake. Draw on the design usually copied from a colouring page, then use icing to fill. I hate character pans, and all those darn icing stars!DancesInGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10516526687504692899noreply@blogger.com
