ahhh, the smell of sweet is what gets me everytime. I love a good cake with a thick, childsize spreading of icing! and it has to be pink icing!
vanilla, chocolate, as long as it has a delectable shell of icing, and maybe even some really pretty pink florettes on it....I'm in!
My teeth hurt just thinking of it! but I am so in!

However, thanks to my mother's wonderful recipe, I learned at a young age to love Carrot cake!
Happy Birthday Bessie Mary. You have helped me out so much and are a great friend as well as sewing my sewing inspiration. I always like to hear from you. My fav. cake would be pound cake with strawberries...nothing like it! Thanks again for all your time and effort keeping us all in stitches.

Happy Birthday to you! And many, many more amazing years! My all time favorite cake is angel food with a tangy lemon frosting. It was my birthday cake every year from around the age of 2 until 18. Makes me smile (and hungry) just thinking about it.

Happy Birthday to Bessie Mary!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite cake is truly pineapple upside down cake....

Happy Birthday Jan! May you have many more years of success!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite cake is Key Lime!
Happy Birthday, Jan, and congratulations on your years of success. I wish you all the best in the future. Favorite cake flavor? I think I would have to go with plain ordinary devils' food! It's good plain or all dressed up with fudge icing....the more chocolate the better :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! My favorite cake flavor is RED VELVET! Just thinking about it makes me want to go bake one right now (giggles). My waist line just won't let me.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I'm a follower!

Congrats! I love just plain white birthday cake with butter cream icing. I know sounds kind of funny coming from a grown woman but I have and I think will always love it!
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th year to you and may you have many many more.
ReplyDeleteI love Red Velvet cake with cream cheese frosting.
Blessings to you and yours.
Congratulations on your fourth year!
ReplyDeleteYou can never get enough of pink or cheesecake with chocolate, raspberries, blueberries or whatever your favorite is. I love all the variations!
Although, a vanilla sheet cake with an inch of icing can also be my downfall!
Happy Birthday BessieMary! I love seeing your beautiful creations almost as much as reading your beautiful words. Thanks for your sweet spirit!
ReplyDeleteand as for cake... it's all about the icing, baby!! as long as there is lots of chocolate icing i'm happy!
What?? You do this when I am out of the country??? No fair! My favorite cake? One that is cut up and on my plate.
ReplyDeleteOf course I am a follower.
Be home soon. Happy Birthday BessieMary!!
I just found your blog, and I'm so glad.
