clarification: talking about the actual cake, not the decorations or layout. Supposedly wedding cake always tastes better than a birthday cake. Are there different ingredients in a wedding cake? I've known people to only buy expensive birthday cakes from wedding cake bakers. Just curious if there is a difference in the mix or the baking process.
My dad's 50th birthday is coming up, we have organised a surprise dinner at an exclusive restaurant. The dessert at this restaurant is fantastic and we have opted not to have a birthday cake for this reason. I feel as though one of the main celebratory components of the birthday party is missing without the cake - it feels less personal and special. Is there something else I can do or use in place of the birthday cake?

My son's birthday is tomorrow and I am baking a cake for his party using a store bought cake mix (Funfetti) with icing. I am not much of a baker, I can follow directions and the consistency always turns out alright. But I never fail to mess up the frosting! Silly question- are you supposed to cut the cake out of the pan and turn it upside down before frosting? How long should I wait before doing if so? Thanks for your advice!
I'd like to make my daughter her first birthday cake, instead of buying one. I would ideally like to make one that is of a healthier variety, as we dont' really eat alot of white sugar and flour, and while it can be sweet and somewhat of a treat, I'd like to keep it so it won't give her a total belly ache. I was thinking like a carrot cake?? I just don't know. Any suggestions?
I'm ordering my brother a birthday cake today, but he is on a diet. I wanted to get him a cake he could enjoy, without completely wrecking his diet.

Thanks for the help!

I've heard that people will make a birthday cake for baby and a separate cake for everyone else. I know part of this is to let the baby have some fun with her food.

In the song Fire Burning by Sean Kingston he says and or asks to pop it lock it drop it that birthday cake. Now my question is how does one pop or lock a birthday cake, and why would some one want to drop it? Birthday cake is a delicious food item. Why would you pop lock or drop it when you could simply eat it and enjoy your self?
My boyfriend loves anything banana flavored, and banana bread. Tomorrow is his birthday so I would like to incorporate this into his birthday cake.

If you have a recipe, please post. Thank you!
