My Favourite Birthday Cake was made for me by my Bestie....It was a pink handbag that had handles that I could use to make a bag. It was gorgeous! abegelhole@hotmal.com
ReplyDeleteMy fave birthday cake was when I was little my dad made me a humpy dumpty cake and he spent hours Christmas Day decorating it (as my birthday is Boxing day) it was amazing even more so cause my dad did it!!! lindseywhiting@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteMy Favourite birthday cake was for my 20th, my cousin made me the most divine chocolate cake with a picture of my favourite ship (The Spirit of new Zealand - looks like a pirate ship) in black icing, right down to the fine detail of the ropes used to haul on the sails :)

My most memorable Bd cake ever...well considering my mum used to make us amazing cakes every year when we were little, that's hard... :)
ReplyDeleteProbably the one I loved best was a 3D 'fairytale' castle mum made...complete with a wall, castle gate & towers. It was gorgeous - covered in white icing and decorated with smarties and pink musk sticks :)
Thanks and happy birthday!

My most memorable birthday cakes always came from the Australian Womens Weekly birthday cake book, my fav was probably Dolly Varden, Mum used a barbie doll & the marshmallow skirt didn't last long before it was eaten!

As a kid, every year I would get so excited getting to pick out a birthday cake, and each year it would always be out of the Woman's Weekly Birthday Cake Book! But it was always such a hard thing to pick just one, but my favourite waas definitely the Ballerina cake. After reading your post I went and pulled the tattered old thing out and had a very gentle flick through, with some of it's pages hanging out, some taped back in - 1 book, 3 kids and over 25 years of not only birthday cakes but memories to last a lifetime!

this is pretty lame but at the time it was AWESOME! i used to LOVE the backstreet boys...like, love them (as in i've seen them 9x in concert kind of love) anyways for my 12th birthday party my friends mum who was a professional cake lady (or whatever the proper term is) made me a Howie D cake (yep, Howie was my fave!!) anyway, it was awesome! i wish i had photos to share.

My mum made or ordered alot of lovely cakes for me over the years. but for most memorable I'm going to with the cake she made me in the shape of horse, particularly as it is the one I instantly think of. I was young so all I remember is that it was a horse. :)

I am lactose and gluten intolerant so my birthday 'cakes' were always quite unique creations. However for some reason, that I cannot remember, when I was 7 I had an ice cream cake... I was SOOO excited- the photos are hilarious! Huge grin and no teeth.

I don't need to be considered to win this due to already winning one of these fabulous competitions, but I just have to share my favourite birthday cake with you all :)) for both my second and third birthdays, I had a bananas in pyjamas cake, so to have one last hurrah of being a kid, for my eighteeth birthday, my mum made me a spectaular bananas in pyjamas cake with statues that she made coming down the stairs! Was literally the best cake ever :)
ReplyDeleteThis is hard as my mum was a cake decorator and brilliant cook, so I have been very lucky with various wicked cakes over the years. However I would have to say my 18th birthday cake as it was beautifully decorated with large brightly coloured icing hearts (blue-purple, red and yellow)arranged/scattered on the cake like confetti with blue glitter stars on sticks bursting out of the middle of the cake like a firework, it was awesome!

Hmmm, My favourite birthday cake over the years was probably one that my nan made me, of course it was a women's weekly cake, a house which looked like Hansel and Gretal's house (yum yum ).. But seriously, all cakes are yummy... :)

P.S thanks for such generous birthday celebrations over the past week!
For my 8th birthday my Mum made me a vanilla sponge carousel cake, she put a pole in the middle with ribbons wrapped around it, tied to 8 horses around the outside of the cake. I will never forget that cake, simple things are always best.

WOW SOhpie you really KNOW how to PARTY!!! Love the celebrations and the special!!!
ReplyDeleteMy most memorable cake was one that I made for Hannah. She had a jungle theme and we had the coolest Jungle cake with animals and palm trees and fences, the works! During singing "happy Birthday" someone noticed that the CAKE was on FIRE!!! Yes from one of the candles it had caught alight the plastic Palm tree! The children were quite excited, though Hannah was screaming!! WIth a quick bit of action it was all fixed with out TOO much damage to the cake!! I don't think she blew the candles out that year! It was one of us in a panic!!! Funny!!
Thanks again for the wonderful week of celebrations!
All the best for your FORTH year!

My most memorable birthday cake was the one i made for my daughters first bithday! It was a two tiered mud cake (white and dark) and was tinkerbell themed. Cute little lady bugs, pink flowers and of course tinker herself on top. My daughter may have only been one but her little face lit up when i brought it out for her.

My most memorable birthday cake was the birthday cakes that my bestie made for my birthday just a few weeks ago. I asked her to make me three mini cakes that we found on Pinterest and they were adorable!! The added surprise however was when I cut into one of the cakes to find it was a layered pink rainbow cake on the inside!!! Best surprise ever :)

My Grandma made me a "Princess Cake" when I was about four... it featured a legless Barbie that sat in the hollowed out centre of the cake - the cake acted as her dress and was decorated as such. My favourite part at the time was that I was able to keep the Barbie afterwards!
ReplyDeletek.grosvenor@bigpond.com
My most memorable cake was the Angry Birds cake I made my youngest last year. Pinterest gave me waaay too many ideas and it ended up being a bigger than Ben Hur type task. He loved it though, so much that he wants the same again this year!! Will have to talk him out of that!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday!
ReplyDeleteOne of my most memorable birthday cakes was the princess cake my mum made for my 9th birthday. It was so beautiful and the only thing that got me upset was that she'd made it a bit small so had had to detach Barbie's legs to stick her in the cake, LOL!

It's a hard choice between the giant fruit flan 'cake' I had last year (clearly showing how grown up I've become haha) and the awesome train cake (from the Woman's Weekly cookbook of course!) Mum slaved over as a 2 year old!
ReplyDeletewow... lovely lovely creations!!
ReplyDeleteMy crazy cake was as a young girl.. the classic 'angel food cake' that had the hole in the middle... where Barbie was then shoved and covered with icing to make the cake morph into her 'ballroom dress'... fun times!

For my 13th birthday, my mom invited all of my friends over, and then got me a Disney princess cake (Plus a disney princess pinata, and little candy bags) then proceeded to tell everyone I was her little princess. SO embarrassing!

that's one hard question...how to choose just one! all the early years it was such a serious choice to make, looking at the famous women's weekly birthday cakes cookbook for weeks or months beforehand too choose. definitely some from that book that stand out in my memory.
ReplyDeletei think the one i have to choose though is one made by a friend more recently, a strawberry hazelnut meringue gateau that had become our favourite as we grew older. i have been sick for decades of our friendship but she has stuck beside me through thick and thin and to show up with this special (and completely divine) cake when i had hardly been well enough to see her meant the world to me...and now i am tearing up!
happy happy birthday sophie - what a lovely lovely bang to end the week of celebrations on.

Easy to answer this question! My most memorable cake is very special memory to me! Our Mum was not a baker and not into decorating at all! My parents didnt have money to spend on buying birthday cakes either. So all of siblings (4 of us) always had the same simple, one bowl chocolate cake for our birthday with a basic chocolate icing and candles. Then when I turned 10 my sister, 4 years my senior, surprised me with a teddy bear shaped cake that had a head and limbs made from cake with a creamy chocolate icing and coconut sprinkled all over for fur. It had different coloured icing for the insides of the ears and a cute face and smile. It was such a surprise when it came out. It still warms my heart to tell that story :)

One of my favorite birthday cakes was when my mom made a fairy cake for me on my 7th birthday. Those were the days before Pinterest, but she found a way to make a dress around a fairy doll out of cake (both of which were pink.) I remember watching her put the icing on it to! (also pink) I loved that my mom wanted to do something so fun & creative for me, so that is why it's one of my favs. (:

When I turned 22 last October I was living in a foreign, non English speaking country (and still am). So far from friends, family and the warmth of home. It was such a special moment when the receptionist called me over with her broken english to give me a parcel that had arrived at my apartment building. I opened the box and inside found the most beautiful and thoughtful cake. Each slice had been hand made with love and care out of delicate and beautiful paper, with hand crafted "piped icing" and "cherries" on top. Hidden on the side of each "slice" that I pulled from the whole was a beautiful message or memory written in my dear friends gorgeous handwriting.
ReplyDeleteIt was really the most precious and thoughtful cake. Even though it was origami and I couldn't eat it, it reminded me that although there are so many km's between myself and the ones I love; I'm still so close to their hearts.

Happy birthday that vintage!
For my 18th Birthday, I had an Alice in Wonderland Party and I made the cake. It was shaped like a card, with a Q for Queen of hearts, in the middle was a mushroom with a caterpillar on top, and around that was a teapot pouring rainbow tea into two cups ... it was so much fun to make! ~ And hard to explain! :P
ReplyDeleteAs a little girl I always dreamed of having a castle cake just like the one in the women's weekly cookbook! Every year I would ask for it but mum was never really into baking so this year I WILL have my castle cake. At twenty five with three kids of my own I endeavor to make my own beautiful castle cake this year ... I think it's healthy to be a kid every now and again :p
ReplyDeleteI must say though my beautiful friends brought me a Tant Pour Tant cake a few years back, and that of course was AMAZING!!

Happy Birthday That Vintage hope you have a great day of celebrations and thanks for sharing them with us. What would be do without the Women's Weekly Birthday Cake Book!

Growing up we didn't celebrate birthdays due to religious beliefs BUT my mum made sure we never missed out. She used to do daycare as well so she was constantly holding parties for all the small children, especially the new ones who were really missing their parents or were sick or sad but the parents HAD to work. The cake that stands out the most is when one mum made for a couple of the day care kids who were leaving the State and travelling to the mainland in a caravan, across Australia to WA where they were to live. The cake was this incredible red retro looking caravan (though at the time it was probably the current style hehe), with the works! wheels, windows, every member of that family in the window, an annex, their pet dog, a BBQ - whatever you need for a huge roadtrip like that mum made it into a cake for them or made it out of lollies. I remember her spending hours and hours on it to get it just right, so much so when the parents saw it they cried...along with the kids hehe. This one is for you mum!

I have had so many amazing Birthday cakes. But my favourite of all Birthday cakes was for my little cousins Birthday. My Mum made him a Choo Choo Train cake,the time and effort that Mum put into the cake was awesome. To see little Jacobs face was so adorable, and the excitement on the other childrens faces was priceless.

ReplyDeleteOn my 5th birthday, my mum made me the most gorgeous little piggy cake... I loved it so much I sat in the kitchen and talked to it while everyone else ate chips and chatted or whatever it is grownups do while the birthday girl sits in the kitchen and talks to her birthday cake. Anyway, I decided that the best plan of action, obviously, was to eat her nose before she went out to the party to play (it was so pink and delicious with marshmallow flowers and smarties...)
I got into so much trouble.
But her nose was still all mine. How I loved that little piggy.

ReplyDeleteMy friend Bell makes birthday cakes every birthday that us girls have. She doesn't have to, and is a busy girl, but makes us all these masterpiece cakes with tiers, and luscious berries and mascarpone cheese. Bell even made my wedding cake all on her own, and she isn't even a baker! The best birthday cake I've had was a chocolate cake Bell made with a chocolate bar border and butter icing. Butter icing is the best! if i was lucky enough to win this voucher, I would be sharing it with Bell :)
