Do you like Cake? What's your favorite kind?
Let us know in the comments!
You weren't so happy on your first birthday, were you? LOL.
ReplyDeleteKiersten's pic is hilarious!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LADIES! It's been a privilege to meet you. And thank you for the givvy!
On a side note...I don't have a sweet tooth, but I don't mind dark chocolate on occasion.
I am not a huge chocolate fan, but if I do eat chocolate, I like it to be dark.
DeleteHappy, happy birthday, my friend! I hope you're enjoying this birthday a lot more than the first one. :)
ReplyDeleteMy feelings about cake are... kind of nonexistent. LOL I basically have no sweet tooth so I rarely think about cake. But I'd have birthday cake with you! :)
This birthday is sort of intense, because I have to catch up on a week's worth of stuff, but vacations are always good until they end. I wouldn't say I have a sweet tooth, but I adore home made baked goods.
DeleteHappy Birthday, Sam! I love the pics of you and your daughter's first birthday. I think your daughter was definitely having a better time than you did.
ReplyDeleteI will take all the cake unless it is banana - I hate bananas - but I love cake. My favorite cake would have been my grandmother's homemade German Chocolate cake. She was a wonderful cook but an exceptional baker and made the best pies and cakes I will probably ever eat.
She was actually really mad, because her father smeared that all over her face, and she did not like being dirty. My Oma and tante was phenomenal cooks/bakers as well. My cousin, Samatha, has been making the Christmas cookies using my tante Ilse's recipes, and they are almost as good. I am all about the home baked goods.
DeleteHappy birthday! Ooh I do love cake...chocolate cake is probably my favourite but anything with fresh or buttercream and tasty frosting is ok by me! I do like red velvet cupcakes...
ReplyDeleteButtercream >> whipped if you ask me. That's where my mother and I always throw down.
DeleteHappy birthday! I am not a cake fan, although I ate wedding cake last night. I am a cookie monster instead.
ReplyDeleteI guess I sort of like baked goods, but not mass produced. I can say no to store bought baked goods, but almost never to homemade.
DeleteHappy birthday, Sam! Hope you're having a great time on your cruise! I love all kinds of cake - classic chocolate, red velvet, even carrot!
ReplyDeleteI am not too picky about my cake, but I am not a huge fan of store bought. I am all about the homemade cake.
DeleteHappy Birthday!! Hope you're having a fantastic time on your cruise!
ReplyDeleteCake--I like cake! Though I'm a "boring" person when it comes to cake. I like white or yellow cake with white frosting! Everyone else in my family is more chocolate cake with white frosting, hence my "boring-ness." I do also like cookie cake! There's a cookie place called Great American Cookie Co. that makes A-mazing cookie cake! It's so soft and moist and chewy and the frosting is to die for! Thinking I might go grab a slice of that when I go to the mall tomorrow lol!!
Not boring. I sort of like homemade cake with no frosting the best. I have had the pleasure of a Great American Cookie cake. My daughter loves them.
DeleteI'm laughing.. your daughter looks like she's offering you, the baby version of you, a piece of cake to stop the crying 😂😂 anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I hope you're celebrating it best 💖 Here's to more birthdays and fun adventures ✨✨
ReplyDeleteNot a big fan of cake. The only cake I could enjoy is red velvet (and sometimes cheesecake) but only a slice. Like Tanya, i don't have that much of a sweet tooth too. SADLY.
OMG, yes! It does look like she is trying to feed me cake. Hilarious! I lean more savory than sweet, but I love a home baked cake.
DeleteHappy birthday to you both!!! My feelings on cake are kinda mixed. I have to be in a mood to have it or want it. It's not a big thing with me. Now cheesecake or cupcakes then hell yes lol
ReplyDeleteCup cakes are a a soft spot for me, but I am all about the gourmet ones. I like them to have filling and be fancy.
DeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY! Hugs to you both! And I adore cake!
ReplyDeleteMegan S.
Thank you so much, and there's not too many cakes I would turn down.
DeleteI don't know why but its so adorable when babies cry!! You two are so cute and pretty. Thanks for the giveaway!! And happy birthday!! I hope you enjoyed your cruise. ❤️
ReplyDeleteThat picture pretty much captured my essence. Thanks for the birthday wishes!
DeleteHappy, happy birthday to you!
ReplyDeleteWishing you the happiest of birthdays Sam!! And yes, I love cake! Especially white cake with chocolate frosting {whipped cream frosting even better}.
ReplyDeleteThat is the great debate in our home - whipped vs. buttercream. I am a buttercream fan, but my mother is all about the whipped.
DeleteHappy birthday!! I hope you had a wonderful day (and I looooove the throwback pictures!). Cake... so certain kinds of cake I LOVE. Like rum cake. And key lime cake. And cheesecake. And chocolate lava cake. But plain old store bought cake is just okay if I am being honest!
ReplyDeleteI am actually fussy, and prefer my cake homemade. Though, I can enjoy a good sheet cake, as long as it doesn't have too much colored frosting. I can totally taste the dye.
DeleteHappy Birthday!! It depends on what kind and what kind of mood I'm in.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a huge sweet tooth, and have been known to pass on cakes, but seldom if it is homemade.
DeleteHappy birthday, Sam! I hope you have lots of yummy cake! Cake with lots of icing is the best kind of birthday cake, imo. :)
ReplyDeleteThere was no cake, but also no need, since I ate way too many desserts on the boat.
DeleteAhhh happy belated birthday! I hope you had lots of fun! And I love cake, tbh. Like, a lot lol. I used to not like it but I guess my tastes bud changed.
ReplyDeleteI am pretty sure I have always liked cake, but I do believe I have become more discriminating. I can pass on store bought, but will almost always choose homemade.
DeleteCake? Love it! Haha. Happiest of birthdays to you!
ReplyDeleteThank you! And, yes, the answer is always cake.
DeleteHappy Birthday Sam! Love the pics of you and your daughter. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! My baby was so cute. I couldn't resist sharing.
DeleteHappy belated birthday, Sam!! I love the pictures you shared of you and your daughter - yours in particular made me laugh, because you are the opposite of cheerful, haha. I love cake - my favorites are cheese, yogurt, and fruit cakes. Thank you for the giveaway! :)
ReplyDeleteThat picture is a fair representation of me. What can I say. I like most cake, but homemade will always win.
DeleteHappy Birthday!! There was a period of time where I didn't really like cat - I'd get cookie cakes or ice cream cake for my birthday. I don't mind it now, though I can't eat gluten so you know...haha LOL I love ICING though!

If I get an ice cream cake, I want one with a layer of cake in it. I just like cake.
DeleteCute pics! I love cake, and Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteCake is one of my favorite things! In fact my birthday is later this month, and we had an early celebration this weekend and I got to have birthday cake! Happy birthday fellow Libra!
ReplyDeleteI am still hoping there will be cake next week at work, because there are four of us with consecutive birthdays. You can never have enough cake.
DeleteHappy Birthday! I just love eating cake, especially chocolate cake!
ReplyDeleteYes. Chocolate cake is yummy!
DeleteHappy belated birthday Sam! Those pictures are so adorable!!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I wish I could find more from my daughter's first birthday (they are somewhere). I wish I had digital photos back then.
DeleteHaha, you don’t look like you’re enjoying your birthday in that photo. I hope this year’s birthday was better for you!
ReplyDeleteMy feelings about cake are generally very positive. The only cake I dislike is the stuff with fruit in it. Fruit does not belong in dessert!
Aj @ Read All The Things!
They didn't call me Sam-black-cloud for no reason. Oh, no! I do like fruit in stuff - cake, cookies, tarts, etc. Maybe you just haven't found the right dessert with fruit.
DeleteIs your daughter eating or wearing the cake?? lol That's a fantastic picture. Yours too! Cranky Sam lol
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! I hope it was a good one!
I like coconut cream cake or marble cake with a lighter fluffy kind of frosting.
Karen @ For What It's Worth
I remember her father wanting her to mash her face in the cake and spreading the icing all over. She was quite mad after he did that. And, I'm still cranky after all these years. (are you singing the song yet?) My friend made a pistachio cake with the fluffiest frosting. It was like eating a cloud.
DeleteWhat fun pictures of both of you! I hope it was a very happy birthday.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE cake. A simple homemade cake is miles better than a cheap store bought cake though. And homemade cake batter is SO GOOD.
Baby pictures are the best! *high five* Home baked all the way, and I don't even need icing. I love cake.
DeleteCake is life.. I have it occasionally. I like all types of cakes. Nice cute blog design btw. Happy birthday.
ReplyDeleteTruth! Thank you. The blog design was my Mother's Day gift one year. I love what my daughter did.
DeleteLove cake by the ocean!!! Happy Birthday!!!
ReplyDeleteI sort of love cake anywhere.
DeleteAHH HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, SAM! I hope you had a wonderful, wonderful day <3 <3 <3 <3
ReplyDeleteThank you, Marie!
DeleteI love cakes, especially the chocolate ones. :))
ReplyDeleteChocolate is always a good bet.
DeleteHappy birthday! I hope your day was fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteI love cake, especially red velvet!
ReplyDeleteWith cream cheese frosting. Yum!
DeleteHappy belated birthday to you! I hope you have a wonderful year ahead <3 And those photos are so cute :D
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteYay happy birthday! Cake's okay.
ReplyDeleteI am not a big sweets eater, but I love cake
DeleteHappy belated birthday!! Hope it was an amazing one and you ate a lot of cake. :)
ReplyDeleteAs for me and cakes, I'm good as long as it's chocolate, black forest or ice cream cake.
Thank you for a generous giveaway!!
I love the cherries in a black forest cake.
