We have our niece and nephew staying with us for three weeks from Florida, and it was my niece's birthday yesterday. Needless to say, I baked a cake. A Neapolitan cake with lots of lovely ruffles.
And a few days before that, I went out for dessert with a friend and had my cake fix then too.
What is your favorite flavor cake?

Ooooooh yummy! Belated happy birthday to your niece. During my younger years I used to go crazy over chocolate cake. Or choco mocha cake. Anything with chocolate always fills my little heart. Now, I find myself loving carrot cake, a whole lot.
That is seriously one stunning cake. Thank goodness I have plans to grab myself a slice of something delicious today. And how did you do all that gorgeous decoration? I'm so impressed!
it looks beautiful Dionne and Im sure it was delicious!!! How sweet of you!
you always blow me away. If anyone made me a cake with ruffles like that I would die! What a lucky girl!
I'd like a piece of the cake, please!
Kiss
that pink cake you made is so pretty!
I loveeeeeee your pink ruffle cake! I'm thinking I may just skip dinner tonight now and eat a slice of cake =)
I don't know if this really qualifies, but I love Mint Chocolate Ice Cream cake.
this is amazing! Absolutely amazing!!! <3
That first cake is gorgeous!
I'm really admiring your handiwork on the pink ruffle cake! It looks like so much effort went into it, and the neapolitan cake layers are a sweet surprise, covering all three of my favorite cake flavors.
That ruffled cake it gorgeous! Oh my goodness your niece is the luckiest girl ever! I love how you sandwiched the chocolate and strawberry. Can I please come over and get lessons from you? You are too good.
yum! that cake looks so good and i love the ruffles. im also making a strawberry Neapolitan cake this week for my daughter's 4th birthday which is an ice cream theme!
whoah, that looks amazing!!!!
not possible. I cannot possibly pick a single favorite flavor. Does "every" count??
Your pics are making me drool a little. ;)
PS -- just a little side story I wanted to share with you... I dropped off our drycleaning the other day, took the slip and went home without ever looking at it. But then yesterday when it was sitting on the table, I noticed that they had put the wrong customer name on top. And that customer name? It was D. Christiansen!! are you secretly living chicago and you didn't tell me? (hey, a girl can dream!)
Seriously?! This Napoleon Ruffle cake is gorgeous!! I love the idea of making it three in one, I'll have to try this some time :) My favorite flavor cake is definitely red velvet with cream cheese icing (:
wow! thats pretty amazing Dionne!
it looks great!
and that carrot cake-yummm!
Nom nom those look incredible!
I had my birthday on the weekend and never got a birthday cake :( I didn't realise until a few days later when I gave my husband a kick for forgetting to organise one!
I do quite like good old carrot cake :)
Wow - what a lucky niece & nephew!
What a gorgeous cake! I love the pink ruffle frosting--what girl wouldn't? And my favorite cake is chocolate, with buttercream frosting.
What a nice aunt, making such a grand cake. I'd have to say carrot cake and pineapple upside down are my favorites though the right blueberry one will give them a run for their money.
Yum! The cake you baked looks delicious! How did your niece like it? And that carrot cake! YUMMY! I LOVE cake, but I have to confess... I'm a sucker for a good, dark, chocolate cake!! Can't beat it!
beautiful cake!!!
Dionne, you're so talented!
Wow, Dionne, your cakes are as beautiful as your art work. YUM.
Fondly,
Glenda
That first cake just looks absolutely divine! Hmmmm my favorite definitely has to be a combo of cream cheese, strawberries, and chocolate. How it's prepared doesn't matter. Yum.

that pink ruffle cake looks amaaaaazing!! seriously considering how i could get some for breakfast, but it would take too long to make methinks! its gorgeous!
so difficult to choose a fav, but my last few birthday requests have been sponge filled with jam, cream and berries, covered with cream and toasted almonds...yummo!

Cake is what stands between me and the body of Cindy Crawford.
But to good to resist.

What a lovely pink cake, it looks like a peony! If you're a cake lover I have to recommend Costco's amazing All American Chocolate cake...if you love chocolate, I have never had a better chocolate cake in my life!
This has to be one of the prettiest cakes I have ever seen! You amaze me, Dionne! Just beautiful! xo
oh my! your cake was beautiful!! my favourite is always white cake with white icing but I just picked up a big slice of carrot cake that looks just like your pic. Actually, I've never met a cake I didn't like :)
Oh yum! Would love to see the recipe for the neapolitan ruffle cake!!
