Best cakes!

What are the nicest cakes?
I'd never really go to a bakery for a cake but if I was forced to, I think I'd pick a coffee slice.
What tickles your fancy? A cream doughnut? An eclair?
Do you ever buy boxed cakes in the supermarket?

Valentina

I love lemon drizzle cake but I rarely buy it. Home made is the best!

I enjoy a vanilla slice.

I made a lovely cherry and almond cake there a while ago. It was lush.

Whoopie pies...two round pieces of chocolate cake with a vanilla, custard cream filling sandwiched between them.

Them custard slices marks and spencers do. Or like a nice toffee pudding. Or a bakewell slice. I love cake

Plain queencakes. At a push.

Don't like cake.

A little bakery near me does the most hideously gorgeous little jam-and-almond queen-cake tarts in packets of six. The Texaco across the road from it sells them and they are currently responsible for around 85% of excess Goose-lard extant.

I bloody hate those cakes! They're the epitome of boring!
You should have picked a snazzier cake just to bring some pizzazz to proceedings!

Portuguese Tarts are a favourite.

Cakes or buns? Buns for me over cake any day.

creamy muffin is the best of all time, hands down amazing

Chocolate fudge slice from Mannings. Only if it has a nice thick layer of icing though. Sometimes it doesn't. Into the microwave for 20 seconds and it's perfect. I was never a fan of any of the creamy cakes you get in bakeries.

My absolute favourite would be homemade brownies.

There is a supevalue in Killester, with a fantastic bakery and deli, now I like an éclair, or a coffee slice however I think they have gone too far the cakes are huge easily one would do two people.

For home make my preference is between chocolate sour cream or coffee and walnut with butter cream filling.

The important thing about those cakes, the REALLY important thing, is to remember to bake it before you put the stripper inside. That was an awkward party.

Carrot cake with lots of frosting, like so:

That reminds me of the day after my sisters wedding. We were all sitting around the pub for the day after drinks eating the left over cake

My favourite cake is a good old chocolate eclair. I make fabulous muffins and brownies and lemon madeira. When I can be bothered

Loopy

Carrot cake.
No calories whatsoever, sure its full of carrots.

Yeah, love chocolate eclairs also but there are sooo many places selling crap ones.

The best I've had is a place on Wicklow St, few doors down from Cornucopia.

Although technically this opens the pastries/pies vs cakes debate which never ends well.

frozenfrozen

I think we can put the pastries pies and cakes debate to the side for a few moments and just talk about delicious things. Nothing worse than someone offering you an eclair then they hand you one of those little ****ing sweets. hopes up only to be ripped to pieces
