Let’s Eat Cake!
Well, I’ve gone from hot chocolate obsessed to cake obsessed. I thought it would be fun to round up a few of the cakes I’ve been drooling over lately. I haven’t baked a cake in a long time–which is strange because I always find the whole process very relaxing. It always feels rewarding to top off your creation with frosting, fruit or powdered sugar. I used to make cake for other people often–I’d like to make time for that again. There are so many lovely recipes to try! Do you have any favorites?

Oh. My. You are killing me with these cakes Jen! Each one looks delicious!
What a sweet way to go! :)
The persian love cake was my (our) wedding cake! My mom made it for us, along with a table of other desserts. It’s really lovely and delicious!
That’s so great! Such a beauty, too.
This is my kind of post! Last month, I made a devil’s food cake with chocolate cream cheese frosting (recipe courtesy of Richard Olney). I was planning on making a coconut cake soon, but that vanilla cake sounds yummy too. I love cake!!!
YUM!!!
These all look so delicious. That first image with the earl grey roll cake has so much cream in it’s making me feel full!
I enjoy baking so much

You can’t get full looking at pictures! Hahaa… That one is one at the top of my list to try.
Fatty me, I want to eat each one of the cakes!!!!!!!!
I think you should eat lots of cake.
Every now and then I enjoy making a ridiculously huge layer cake and this post has given me SO much inspiration! CAKE! I want it all. Also, yay for the Always With Butter blog using golden syrup in a cake, it’s one of my very favourite ingredients.
THAT ONE SOUNDS SO GOOOOD!!
i want all the cakes. hmm. i might have to make a ton of these.
Then you bring them to me, OK?
I made the Persian love cake in a cupcake version as Valentine’s Day treats. They were a hit! And the candied rose petals are so easy but look deceptively fancy.
I want Persian love cupcakes!!!
I’m pretty sure that this is the greatest blog post that has ever been written. Thank you for bringing all of this sugary goodness into my life…
You’re welcome. It had to be done! :)
Oh wow! I’m going to be eating cake for at least a year with all of these recipes!
Love the sound of the chocolate earl grey and the creme egg cake… well that’s just too perfect to resist!
Isn’t the creme egg cake crazy?? Love it.
well, there goes my diet. i wanna try every single one of these, and i really don’t care what happens to my bmi in the process.
I. am. totally. DROOLING!
Me. Too.
Well I’m non-discriminatory in the cake department so they all look delicious! I can’t cook to save my life though.
Hahaa…
That lemon cake with black tea frosting looks fantastic! As soon as I have a chance I’m going to make it!
