Banana cake, with chocolate frosting made in a bundt pan.My Grandma make the best banana cake. But it is easy just  use a yellow cake mix and add banana's and walnuts. Yum. Banana's were a big part of her health ritual.

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.

Coconut cake for sure!   Maybe with a little crushed pineapple mixed in the frosting!!

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.
