With so many choices out there, do you make your own cakes? Do you buy a store bought cake? What about those ice cream cakes? Share your cake ideas and photos (if you have some) with us!

Hubby usually makes the birthday cakes. I'm not much of a baker. My favorite of his cakes is a chocolate fudge bundt cake that has a tunnel of chocolate fudge running through it. I have no clue how he gets the tunnel in there, except that it involves a knife and cutting. LOL

When the cake is cool he drizzles thick icing over the tops and lets it drip down the sides. While the icing is still wet, he inserts the candles so they are very secure at serving time. Besides being a scrumptious cake, when you look at it sitting on the table, it looks like a snow-capped mountain, which is perfect since my birthday is in the winter and we live in the Rockies.

I usually bake the cake myself, unless it is my birthday of course lol I do have to say that one year my husband wanted an oreo ice cream cake from the store and we all really liked it.

This is the best cake I have ever gotten! My kids made it when they were about 11-12 and I was so proud of their first cake and it did taste good! lol
