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.
