A new record has been set for my birthday! You know I had an icecream birthday cake at my brother’s house, and you also know that my mom and dad got me the most awesome chocolate cake with to die for chocolate icing. But what you don’t know is that on our way home today, Mike said we had to get another cake because our boys hadn’t celebrated my birthday with me yet, and we couldn’t celebrate properly without a cake.
At a grocery store close to home we were faced with a terrible dilemma – too many yummy cakes to choose from. What is the solution in a situation like that? According to my hubby, the solution is to buy one of each. So, we bought a black forest cake, a white bar cake (that ended up being almost the same as the black forest cake), and the most original of all, a hamburger cake. Yes, you heard me right – a hamburger cake!! The bun was vanilla cake, the burger was chocolate cake, and the condiments and lettuce were made of icing. It was truly the most original cake I have every seen, and it was delicious. This means that my birthday cake record is FIVE!!
I know this will make all of you very hungry and maybe even mad at me, but I just have to show you my birthday cake collection :). Here they are:
Ice cream cake
To die for chocolate cake
White bar cake
Black forest cake
Yes, it’s the hamburger cake!! It was amazing :).
Ok, that’s it for birthday treats! If I eat any more cake I’m going to blow up, so it’s salads for me for the rest of the week because if I step on the scale I will probably break it LOL! I know you are all going to yell at me for teasing you with my cakes, but at least you don’t have to worry about whether or not you are going to fit into your clothes this week :).

I’m going to have to add a mile to my run tomorrow just for looking at theses!
LOL!! Can you pick me up on the way please?
You’re on your own there, Ive got enough trouble carrying myself. Though it is getting easier since I’m carrying around 20 lbs less than when I started running about 2 months ago 😀
That’s awesome!! Good for you :). I was down 15 lbs before my cake weekend, but now I have an extra 2 lbs to get rid of. Oh well, I thought it was going to be worse. Back to being a good girl now.
i luv the 1st one…that candle takes the cake..lol (pun intended)
Ya, well, MIke told my brother not to put 48 candles on the cake because it might start a fire on their property, so they went for one big one instead LOL! Nice pun btw :).
I don’t eat hamburgers but that one would be hard to resist!
It was the best hamburger I have ever tasted :).
wow what a lucky girl — wish I had been with you – I would have tried to keep up bite for bite!
I am very lucky and very, very full :). I wish you had been here too!
Hahaha!!! That is an interesting cake!!! I really am torn between grossed out or wanting to eat everything!!! 🙂 Glad you had a great birthday!!! Good luck with the rest of the week!!! 🙂 **
Thanks! This will be a tough week because I have obviously stretched my stomach, so it will be hard to cut down again, but it was soooo worth it :).
Wow…lucky lady. I love the hamburger cake. Looks yummy…actually they all do.
So lucky and sooooo full LOL! The hamburger cake was just as amazing as it looks.
A fitting set of cakes for a special birthday girl! I like the Hamburger Cake best – so creative. Mikey is a true treasure to get one of each. And all that chocolate…… heaven! 🙂
Aww, thanks Dor :), and it was truly heavenly! Mikey is a pretty good to me isn’t he? I think I’ll keep him around for a bit LOL!!
That hamburger cake is unreal. So creative.
Glad to see that you celebrated your birthday in such style.
(Fortunately, I’m not a cake lover so you haven’t made me hungry, but I do like good Swiss chocolate, of which I rarely get to eat these days).
It certainly was the most creative cake I have ever seen!! The funny thing is, because it looked so amazing, for some reason I didn’t expect it to taste very good, but it was absolutely amazing :).
Please adopt me.. pleeeeeaaase I’ll be the best (old) kid you’ve ever had.. I’ll keep my room neat and tidy, I won’t stay out later… I’ll be a very good boy…just adopt me damn it… and then you must have a birthday every week…. pleeeeeeaaaaasssssseeeee.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOLOLOLOLOL!!! Best comment ever :). I kind of thought you might like this post Bulldog. Hmmmm, a birthday every week – I like the way you think! Ok, you’re adopted old kid LOL!
Since my birthday is just 2 days before my mother’s I had to share a birthday cake with my mother for most of my life. Now it’s just hubby & I & he doesn’t believe in getting a cake just for the 2 of us, so I almost never get birthday cake! I am so jealous!
Sharing a birthday cake?!?! That’s just not right! And your hubby doesn’t get you a cake?!?! That’s just not acceptable – give that boy a slap! Too bad you weren’t closer because I would have given you one of my cakes :).
Well that settles it, I’m determined to have six cakes for my next birthday. I’ll show you. and I have stretchy pants for these types of situations.
Oh yes, the birthday cake competition has begun!!! I think we should get Bulldog to join in. Have you read his comment? He’s having a meltdown LOL!! As for clothes, I am wearing a very loose fitting dress today that I got on the weekend. It will be perfect for covering all the cake fat HAHAHA!
If you adopt me, do I have to keep my room tidy? That will be my downfall.
Hey, if Bulldog can do it, so can you :). LOL!!
As a mother you know children have very different personalities.
Yes, but you are forgetting about my obessessive compulsive side LMAO!! No messy rooms allowed here, but I will reward you with a beer as well if you keep your room clean :).
You are forgetting I can distract you with cake and books.
Oooh, you are a clever one!! 🙂
It’s amazing what laziness can produce.
You climbed a mountain and wrote 2 books – I wouldn’t call you lazy :).
But I don’t remember the last time I made my bed.
Bad girl!! But at least you’re not laying in it all day. Right? You’re not being lazy and laying in bed all day are you??? 🙂
That’s what the couch is for
LMAO!!!
Zomg SO MUCH CAKE!!!! CAN I COME LIVE WITH YOU PLEASE? I did have a triple chocolate muffin for lunch today though…I could definitely get used to that!
Ooooh, can you imagine how much fun we would have sitting out on the deck in the hot sun, reading our books and gorging ourselves on cake???? It would be awesome!! 🙂
Hahaa I totally can! 😀
I wouldn’t have to worry about fitting into my pants except now I want some too! I just might go to the grocery store and tomorrow and get some for myself. Yum!
Nancy
Oh yes, I think you should :)!!
Like everyone else who’s commented about it, I’ve never seen a cake in the shape of a hamburger either. Live and learn (and in your case also eat).
And it was yummmmmyyyyyy!! 🙂
I would like to have a french fry cake!! You had an amaaaazzzzzziiinnnnngggg birthday!
Yes, I sure did, and a french fry cake sounds awesomeeeeeee :).
yum, yum!
Lol, the chocolate cake wins hands down! Does it mean its your birthday today?
Yes, my birthday was yesterday (July 2nd), and I am in a chocolate coma once again :). There was a chocolate mudslide cake for July 1st when we celebrated my birthday with our kids and then double chocolate fudge brownies for my actual birthday yesterday. I don’t think I will step on the scales today LOL.
