Classic Old-Fashioned Dessert Cakes

Today I wanted to talk about classic old-fashioned Birthday cakes. You know the ones that you personally whip up and bake in your own kitchen without all of the fancy crap!

When it comes to homemade cakes…what cake flavor is your favorite and what kind of icing, frosting or glaze do you enjoy on the top?

The reason I bring this up as our food topic today because we recently attended a Birthday party where there were 2 fancy cakes that each cost a minimum of $75 a piece. Personally, I think that is ridiculous unless it is a special wedding or special party but for yearly Birthday parties…ridiculous.

When it comes to a good homemade classic cake I like a moist white cake with a thick chocolate frosting. Hubby likes a good chocolate cake with a creamy peanut butter icing. My daughter and grand daughter are not big cake-eaters but when they do eat it…they prefer chocolate.

So, let’s hear about your cake preferences on what you like and/or dislike?
