Do you have a favorite flavor? if so what is it? I love to make cake also, and it has been a while since I have made one from scratch. tell me about your cake life...

I don't know if I should consider myself a cake lover or what, but I do love cakes! But since cake is quite expensive I rarely eat it. If I have lots of money I would eat it every weekend. I ain't gonna say everyday coz I believe if eat it everyday I can be bored. I love ice cream cake, it is cold and I myself also love ice cream. There's a lot of cake flavour that I haven't test yet. Aside from chocolate Have you test tiramisu, it's delicious just like chocolate.

Yeah there's a cake tiramisu. That's my first expensive cake that I have ate. My sis gave it to me as my b'day present but sadly she bought it to me just 1 slice! She brought me to Secret Recipe and ask which 1 I want. Since I'm an ice cream lover I had tried tiramisu ice cream so I decide to test it how it is on cake. It totally different from Red Velvet. Just like you I also haven't heard of it, never thought there's a cake like that, thanks you told me, just check it on internet and saw its picture makes me wanna try it.

Hi, TazRes. I ate a white cake from Walmart on Thursday night. It was very delicious and I have really enjoyed eating it too. I love strawberry shortcake, chocolate fudge cake, almond vanilla cake, pecan cake, raspberry almond cake, vanilla creme cake and lemon creme cake.

Hello! Like you i also love cakes. Any kind/flavor. And love chocolate moist cakes too but unfortunately for me i can't eat that much of that cake because of my tonsillitis. I love to bake cakes too but just the simple one like chiffon cakes both with natural/regular flavor and orange chiffon cake with icing :)

No it is not fruit cake. It has a little bit of fruits in it though. It also has rum in it. It is brown like chocolate but it does not have chocolate in it.

Oh you should get a recipe and bake one, it's not hard at all. And you are so lucky to be able to eat as much sweets as you want and not gain weight; I use to be that way but now since I am older...lol....that isn't the case anymore. Thanks for your response

I am a cake lover which is a bit of a shame at the moment because I am trying to lose weight. I have lost almost five stones in past year and I am very proud of myself, but it has meant that I haven't been able to have as much cake as I did before I started losing weight. It was my birthday last week and, since then, I have had a slice of cake every day. Now though it is all gone and I won't be able to have any more cake until my brother's birthday at the end of November. Until then I am going to carry on losing weight and hopefully lose at least another stone before then!

Hi Taz, It is the same case with me - I love cakes,pastries,sweets,ice creams, just about everything that is sweet.But unfortunately I too have to watch my weight and have to be careful what I eat especially sweets and pastries.I do indulge once in a while and then have to make amends for a whole week or so...all the best and enjoy your evening

Im not to much of a cake person i will eat the begining part before its baked as i like the taste of that better. I would rather eat the dough (really doesnt look like dough though. To me it is better like that. If i have to eat cake i would eat cheese cake only or ice cream cake as those are my favorite and better anyways. Not sure what it is about cake i dont like but i really just dont like it at all and its the way it is i guess.

Oh Yes!! for sure cake dough you almost don't have to wash the bowl after I'm done with it. And I like cheese cake also strawberry Thanks for responding!

Yes I'm a big fan of cakes. I love chocolate cake specifically. I like it if it is the dark chocolate cake. Blueberry cheese cake and chocolate mousse are also my favorites. Yummy and so delicious. I want to eat cake now.

Hi! Have to admit--guilty of this too and the worst part is that we're at the beginning of 'baking season'. So since I am somewhat of a baker, I am looking around to see what I can do so I can still enjoy cake but cut down on what I don't need. I did get in touch with a professional baker and they suggested that I try some diabetic cookbooks but avoid Splenda. Why I am not 100% sure but I do wonder if I do use some diabetic recipes if it would help me to lose a few. Favorite flavor? I do like trying different combinations and have found that French Vanilla gives me the most so I guess that one is my favorite. What have you tried so far? Do try to move around...walking is a great excersize whether it be at home or in the gym. Just do it, stick with it, and the results will be there. Just reassess from time to time and make adjustments as needed.

I have also thought of trying recipes from a diabetic book. and yes, I do walk and it has help I have been in physical therapy about 2 months ago and she gave me all sorts of exercises to do to strengthen my back and knees. As a result of it all I have so far lost 7 to 10 lbs. Thanks for your response

I think most people love eating cakes and i am no exception.However i have got over the craving for them and so eat them once in a blue moon and that too usually once a year on my birthday when a particular friend presents me one every year.He knows that i like them and he also knows which ones i like, and that is everybody`s perennial favourite, chocolate.I can`t afford to eat cakes since they are too expensive and mainly because i have no income as i am retired.I love rich dark chocolate cakes and pastries.I also like pineapple flavour but they are the second best choice.

Who do not love cakes ? and i am no exception. I am a regular eater of cakes. . I like all types of cakes with any flavour. My favourite one being Tiramisu and mousse. They are wet and melt in the mouth and very soft. I know that we should not eat them too much if we are weight conscious but i can not control my temptation once i spot them

Yes, I love cake, and I cannot get enough of them Now I have my own mixer and oven so I bake every weekend. I still have my mom's favorite cake recipes and fortunately my husband and daughter love it. It was easy to make and you can find all the ingredients easily. I haven't tried to make "more advanced" cake like what you see on a culinary magazine, but I am exited to try. Baking is fun, and it is also a rewarding hobby.

Yes, Baking is fun for me also, I have yet though to make a pound cake, I remember years ago my grandmother's friend would bake pound cakes during the Christmas Holidays and sell them for $10.00 and was worth every penny, awesomely delicious. Thanks for responding

I like cakes, too. And I like everything sweet! Be it a candy or an ice cream. But just like you, I'm also watching my weight. I get too depressed when I gain weight so I minimize my intake of much food. But, if only cakes won't add up to my weight, I'll eat a lot, definitely. I like chocolate cakes! Brazo de Mercedes. Sanzrival -if that's a cake. Yummy!

I'm with you on that one; if cake was not affecting my weight it would probably be something I would eat daily. And I love Ice cream also, again Chocolate is my favorite. thanks for responding.

Hi TazRes, Cakes are always the center of attraction in any special occasion like birthdays, anniversaries, etc. If we celebrate the birthday of a family member, we usually choose chocolate cake because that is the favored cake of the celebrant.
