I'm curious because I wasn't able to find a really good one. If know, please share. I'd like to order some proper cakes and donate it to places.

Best cake I ever ate was at a birthday party for our primo heady. The whole school got small piece each and a soda. Maybe it tasted so good coz it was so small and served at 11am, hunger peak for tots.

Sweet. The best cake I ever had was... wow. I'm a connoisseur when it comes to cakes. I have to say it was my own blueberry cake I made as a small tot. 

When's your b'day?

The Best Chocolate Cake in the World is available in Sydney in Traditional (53% cocoa) and Bittersweet (70% cocoa).
 
What’s the secret for the best chocolate cake in the world?
 
Our cakes are flourless, layered chocolate meringue and airy chocolate mousse, topped with a thin luscious glaze of ganache creates the perfect combination of desirable textures that melts in your mouth. Yet this decadent choc-filled cake is quite light, making it the ideal chocolate indulgent treat without the guilt.
 
We believe that an important part of making The Best Chocolate Cake in The World starts by using the best chocolate (Valrhona).
 
The recipe? ...it’s a secret. But, try and identify the other ingredients by tasting it.

I think you seriously like baking i remember seeing some cake u prepared back on dot com...there are plenty of people who prepare such cakes in Nairobi,had a lady who did one (first cake) for me some times back,

Yes I love it. I made a hundred cupcakes for Brynn and PJ. I just wouldn't want to run a cake business, too hard. I can bake all day though. I guess I meant someone specialised in making cakes. That's not the same as baking at home.

Veri,

Could I please plug my mum's own home made cakes?  She does a good job (ofcourse I'd say this..lol) ...I'll find some pix and post them.

[Brynn]

Brayo, your mama is not reading nipate you can relax lol.

By the way veri have u ever made a tres leche cake? It's really good but packed with cals. Other than that an ordinary coffee cake topped with vanilla icecream can taste better than most cakes...

[Kababe]

veri, red velvet is my favorite. Moist, sweet and perfect. With a mango sorbet.

[veritas]

Bryan, sure. Love to see them.

Brynn, coffee cake with icecream.. are you serious?

Kababe, yes red velvet is divine.
