If you were making a cake for yourself, birthday or otherwise, what would you make if you didn't have to be concerned with dietary restrictions, calories, or anything else?

I'm not sure yet what kind it would be inside, but for sure I would have swirled roses as the frosting. Preferably ombre, something like one of these:

Too hard to choose just one kind. Pineapple upside down cake w/whip, choc. torte, carrot cake, white cake with thick real frosting.

I think I would look at the book American Cakes by Anne Byrn and make every cake in it.

That's a beautiful picture. I would love to taste it as long as it's just buttercream frosting.

My favorite cake isn't beautiful to look at, but it's amazing to taste.

It is a party in your mouth! I prefer it sans the orange slices.

My favorite cake is an ordinary lemon cake that has an amazing frosting made of butter, sugar (not powdered), lemon juice and lemon rind. It has to be stored in the refrigerator because there is so much butter in the frosting. And because of all that butter I haven’t made it in years.

My Mother was a really great baker, my favorite was her Orange Chiffon Cake.And it seemed like she could whip it up in minutes.I would go to visit and she also made cream puffs in just minutes for real. I miss those days so very badly.

While I enjoy baking, I would not be making my cake. I have several that I really like, so I would want a slice of each.

Tres leches cake from Cowgirls in Santa Fe. Strawberry shortcake from Traub's Bakery in Prospect Park, PA. Lemon coconut cream cake from my local diner.

Along with these cakes, I would want a slice of blueberry pie from West Street Cafe in Bar Harbor. In fact, I would like my party to be there.
