    The best cake I've ever eaten - White Chocolate Raspberry. My sister originally made it several years back, since then its been a family favorite, and used to celebrate Mothers Day, birthday's and even a wedding.

    Hands down, tried & true, the best cake I ever ate was my mom's carrot cake. She baked every Sunday night and Monday's we had a choice of chocolate chip cookies, oatmeal raisin cookies, chocolate cake and her fabulous carrot cake. Heaven in every bite!

  • Best Cake I ever Ate
    Joe MulinaroNovember 7, 2012 2:01 PM
    The bast cake I have ever eaten was my grandmother's Red Velvet cake. She made it from scratch and for all of her grandchildren she would make them the cake of their choice for their birthdays. Overwhelmingly, Red velvet was most kids choice. The frosting was thick and rich..but not the usual cream cheese icing you see on everything that is Red Velvet today. It reminded me of something you would eat at a French pastry shop. Unfortunately my Nana passed away a few years ago and did not pass the recipe on to my mom or any othet family member and so all of the grandchildren have to remember that taste and we all keep trying Red Velvet cake everywhere we go to see if we can find one like the one she made...

    Occasionally when I was young my mom would run low on eggs and substitute a quater cup of mayonnaise in her batter. The cake rose beautifully and added a nice zing to the palate. Very yummy!

      We used to get a matcha mousse cake for the birthdays in the fam from the bakery from this japanese bakery by my parents' place. The cake was light, not too sweet and came with a surprise ingredient in the frosting!

      The best "cake" I ever ate wasn't even a cake. My niece and her husband aren't big cake eaters, so the family bakers pitched in and make all kinds of cheesecakes, pies and cookies. We did buy a small cake for the pictures, but everyone devoured the other desserts faster.

      Little crescent shaped yellow cakes with bits of real orange in the batter and icing. Mom bought them at the neighborhood bakery when we were kids. They were melt in your mouth good and never lasted more than a day!

      The best cake I ever ate was the last yule log I made for my husband - he loved that rolled up light chocolate with whipped cream filling and lots of creamy, chocolate butter cream frosting. He is gone now, so I cherish the memory.

      My wife and another couple purchased 6 slices of differnt types of cake from a local backery, got the sweetest wine we could find (Oliver Blackrasberry - you could almost pour it over ice cream it is so sweet). After dinner we couldn't decide who wanted what piece and so we all took a bite of the one we had and passed it to our left until all five pieces were gone. It was a great dinner with some great friends!

      Marsha B.November 8, 2012 8:22 AM
      Winnie's cake IS the best cake ever. 4 layers of yellow cake with a gooey, butter, laden icing that has pecans sprinkled with it. When you use a stick of butter, it's gotta be good. Winnie was a 'southern' mother of a friend.

      My Mother always made a banana cake when I was growing up and always told stories of my Grandmother (who had passed before my birth) making it. As an adult, I finally asked for the recipe; I couldn't believe it when she said that it started with a boxed mix! Disillusioned, but still the best cake ever.

      Best cake I ever ate: the top tier of my wedding cake, which is traditionally shared by the couple at their one-year anniversary mark. Mine did not make it that far, however: at nine months' pregnant and on bedrest, I had an immense craving for someting sweet when I remembered the white chocolate raspberry layer of goodness nestled in my freezer. If you can imagine a hugely pregnant woman kneeled on a kitchen floor chipping away at a frozen-solid cake for a half hour, you have now pictured me in one of my more embarassing moments. I will say that it was quite tasty frozen!

      We hired a independent cupcake genius (Smashing Cupcakes) for our wedding. When we asked if she could also handle a sweetheart cake for my husband and I to enjoy (for tradition), she hesitated. We kept expectations low because she'd never done a cake before (or so she said). Lori blew us out of the water. It was a perfectly moist vanilla cake with the most lucious cream cheese frosting I've ever tasted. In all honesty, we don't remember much after the cake - AND it was all we talked about until our one year anniversary! There is just something about cake :)

    • Daugher-in-law's 1st attempt
      MarkNovember 8, 2012 1:45 PM
      My favorite cake is a red velvet cake. Growing up it was always my "Birthday Cake" of choice. In 1979, my new (and current) wife baked me a red velvet cake using my mother's recipe. We sat down and ate pieces of it on my birthday in our small second story apartment. It was the first cake she had ever baked for me and it was the best tasting cake I had ever enjoyed. Problem...several hours later we were fighting for access to the only restroom in the apartment. She followed the recipie to the "T" but some thing was not right and we both became ill. I say this was the best tasting cake I have ever had to this day not because of the ramifications of the cake but because it was my new bride's first attempt at making me a cake and not just any cake but the cake that my mom made for me for years. She was so proud of herself and it did taste great. 33 years later she has mastered baking and cooking but the effort and look in her eye with the first cake makes it the best cake I have ever tasted.

      Nothing fancy but for every pitch-in my mom would always make a Texas sheet cake. We never came home with anything left in the pan.

      The bes cake I ever had was my Aunt Belva's carrot cake. Being a kid I did not like carrots so I could not understand why you would make a cake out of it. It was her that made me try this wonderful cake and it has been my favorite ever since.

    • Fingerhut Bakery Chocolate Delight!
      ChelseyNovember 8, 2012 2:18 PM
      The best cake I have ever had is from my hometown bakery, the Fingerhut Bakery Chocolate Delight cake (I'm originally from North Judson in Northwest Indiana)! This layered slice of heaven has everything you could ever ask for - chocolate and vanilla cake along with layers of different frostings. I love my hometown bakery (and you can order things online and they'll ship directly to you - they have some of the best butter cookies and Kalackies). Now I feel like I must provide a link (I swear I'm not a Fingerhut) http://www.bakerygifts.com/gift_packages.html.

      My wedding cake, lovingly made and transported from Grand Rapids Michigan to Paxton Illinois by my Aunt Jan. She made cakes for all of my siblings, four of us in all, as wedding gifts that were the highlights of our special days. We lost Jan this year to ALS, but we will always remember her love and warmth. (Not to mention her Herculean job of fixing broken cakes after transport!!)

    • Simple White but Delicious
      DaveNovember 8, 2012 7:21 PM
      Best cake we have had as a family is one my wife makes for birthdays. She found the recipie in a Betty Crocker cook book along time ago. Since we first had it 20 plus years ago everybody request it for their birthday. Its become a tradition! Simple to make, great taste, moist, even taste good after 3-4 days. She ices it with home made butter cream icing. Even our Australian Shepherd "Wild Willie" gave it high marks on taste. On more than one occasion when cooling he helped himself to a taste! Writing about makes me want a piece know. Won't be long with two birthdays coming up in December.

    1. Saw the Indy Men's Chorus "Music of Gilbert & Sullivan" at the Indiana Historical Society on Sunday evening.

    2. Temporary workers are not "tools" they are people and companies that keep large amounts of temp staff are cheating.

    3. I miss having them around. I hope one of their stores is in the general Meridian/86th Street area. I will make good use of it.

    4. The Fringe! Plus, the simple fact that there are so many local faves in such close proximity to each other.

    5. I remenber, watching the toll road, being built, through South Bend, when I was 10 years old. I believe, back then that it was estimated, that the toll road, would be paid for in 20 years and then it would be free. I am now 71, what happened? Since the power is in the people, by that, I mean that, we the people are in total control of everything. I, suggest that no one ever use the toll road again, let it go broke. We the people can control the price of everything, from groceries to gas, if we would just do it. If we don't pay the asking price, the sellers will lower the price and if we wait awhile, they will lower the price to what we accept as reasonable. I would like to know why a highway like interstate 94, is so well maintained, a much better highway, than the toll road, but has no tolls. I would also like to know why, a sitting governor, with a term limit, maximum of eight years, can lease, public property, for 75 years. Even though I have transponders in both of my trucks and will not be affected by the increase, I have been and will contine to avoid using the toll road. I make many trips from northern Indiana to Chicago, every year, and I prefer the better highway, I94!
