All depends on who is doing the baking. I know several people who would make that cake come out with the consistency of a hockey puck;)

I'd really rather have cheesecake
by Pirate_kender on February 1st, 2008
Home baked, so I can make something like this~

A home baked cake, please... :)
by Flbound on February 1st, 2008
Homemade...
I'll have a lemon cake with lemon icing please...:D

Theres a story I heard recently.
A couple have thanksgiving for their family every year, and every year the wife cooks. One year the wife gets sick, and they have to buy from the store.
After Thanksgiving, the husband is asked if he minded the change too much, he responded "that was the first time I've ever actually enjoyed thanksgiving".
Case in point, the thought might be important, but good food is better than thought anyday ;).

home baked every time, neverbeen much on cakes unless they are fruit cakes so thats what my mom always made for me on my birthday when i was a kid.
by eric on February 1st, 2008
Home baked. You can eat it while it's kinda warm.
by lylouk on August 23rd, 2008
Depends on your cooking ability and time.
by Ruby Doomsday on August 23rd, 2008
Momma Doomsday makes a mean carrot cake.
However, when Gramma Doomsday is in charge of the birthday cake department, I usually end up with some horrid monstrosity from the Dutch store. I remember this one year, it was this licorice flavored thing with a vein of almond moosh through the center. None too tasty, boy howdy. I'll take the home made, if I may.
by mistje on August 23rd, 2008
I wouldn't mind a bakery-bought cake, but I don't mean a cake bought in a "bakery section" of a supermarket. I'm talking around the corner mom & pop bakery like all the little ones around me. :D
Home-baked is good, and definitely worth it, but if it's my birthday, I'd rather people spend time with me than in the kitchen baking a cake. :)

100% home baked. I don't care if its terrible, however I know all of the people who would get me a cake, and they aren't unskilled. the main thing is what kind of cake I recieve. If it matches my likes and favorite tastes then I don't care as much. If its(this is my most dreaded unliked formula I could think of,) an all white frosting, wal-mart cake with cheap candles and smaller than a pop tart, I'd be furious really, in the sense that the cake is ALL about getting to know me. If I hear someone got me a cake because its their favorite, I'd toss it in their face and just kinda not talk for a while..its about the thought, and the thought has to be thought of deeper than just "I got you a cake with the change i had in my car floor."
by boredgal88 on November 18th, 2008
homebaked because you can contorl how much icing to put on it.
by big dan on November 7th, 2008
i rather have a home baked cake for my birthday
by Ms sexpot Love Games on October 5th, 2008
A store bought cake because you can add pictures and anything you want.
by shammers still slogging along on August 27th, 2008
It's not the cake but the thoughtfulness that is important. It's so nice of anyone to go out of their way to bring me a cake that I don't care if it's purchased or made, what flavor or anything about it. Just the thought is great!
by Chibi has a fuzzy logic on August 27th, 2008
I'd rather have home baked even if it wasn't that good. It would mean more to me that the person made an effort than if I received the most delicious store bought cake on Earth.
by BigDaddyBS on August 27th, 2008
Home-baked cake with canned icing is usually better and moister. ;-)
by debodun on August 23rd, 2008
Store bought. They come with those big frosting roses.
by WoOZackWoO on March 17th, 2008
Who's making the cake?
Anyways, assuming it's someone good and their making the cake from scratch, the homemade one.
by Chezter is going to save the Redheads on February 8th, 2008
Ice cream cake!!!
If someone I know can make it at home well kewl, but otherwise, that's an easy way to make me happy on B-Day without having to make it yourself
by Olero on February 8th, 2008
Mr Grandma's homemade all the way :)
by Galeanda on February 8th, 2008
Usually home made is best, but it depends on who's doing the baking. If I could bake it I know I would love it:-)
by Captain Bill on February 8th, 2008
Homemade. Makes it more special.
by Stalin1 on February 8th, 2008
Store bought CHEESE CAKE!!!!!!!!!!! :)
by hazel1908 on February 8th, 2008
Store bought, Publix cake with whipped topping. Yummy
by Jack wears love COAT on February 1st, 2008
Home made... store bought don't make it feel your own.
by shammers still slogging along on February 1st, 2008
Store bought . . . there's no one left in my family that's much of a baker. Sad.
by royal77 says hello friend on February 1st, 2008
Most of the time I prefer a store baked caked because they are professionally done, but one done at home with lots of love is wonderful too.
by Anonomous on November 30th, 2009
Homemade, store bought is way too rich for me.
by VenusRising on August 23rd, 2008
Homemade all the time. Made with love and thoughfulness
by hhhttt on August 23rd, 2008
I always have home baked.
by loveschimps on August 27th, 2008
store bought chocolate cake with real vanilla frosting...None of that crappy whipped stuff :)
by Zahararica on August 27th, 2008
I don't know anyone who is a great baker- so I'll go with store bought!
by dr james on August 27th, 2008
youve got to be kiddin
by Indigo- in the library with the revolver on August 27th, 2008
Home made shows that they put a lot of care into it (even if it tastes a bit funky), but I'll be fine with a store-bought as well -- no one usually bothers with cakes for my birthday so I'll consider them buying one a compliment. :P
by Sgt. Widget will die from finals on March 17th, 2008
Home made! Actually, I might even make it myself. My family has a delicious recipe for two layer Chocolate Raspberry Torte. Best part of the recipe might be the whipped cream - chocolate folded in and a liberal splash of Chambord. So. Yummy.
But honestly, I'd rather have no cake at all. Chocolate Mousse is my birthday dessert of choice.
by aydeology on March 16th, 2008
Store bought...i actually think they taste better, at least where I get them. Home baked is good too, but it depends on who makes it. Sometimes it's the thought that counts, but on my birthday, I want an elaborate, professional cake which probably can't be made at home.
by Eltinwe has a life Swan - DYOH on February 8th, 2008
Homemade, please. I HATE store-cake and store-icing. Nasty stuff. All sugar and it tastes like iced cardboard. Even "nice" expensive cakes are a bit gross. I can make better cake than that with a mix, and even make it look as good. And my mommy makes great cakes of more inventive sorts, and my mother-in-law doesn't do so badly either, though she's not as good with cakes as my mom, and better with dinner-foods.
by SAGE2 on February 8th, 2008
both at the same time
by Babycakes Deux on February 8th, 2008
Homemade cake is always best, but store bought cakes are good too.
by Ed the Jetpacking Headbanger on February 8th, 2008
The best birthday cake I've ever eaten was baked by my mother. I'll take a store bought cake since my mother is no longer alive.
by AnonymousGirl on March 16th, 2008
Homemade. I might make my own cake with a few friends for my birthday this year. It all depends on how things go.
by blewis on March 16th, 2008
Homemade by far. Store bought is always the same and the frosting is not nearly as good as homemade buttercream frosting.
by timothy on October 5th, 2008
more love in home baked, bake me one:p
by happydonut12 on October 5th, 2008
I like home baked cakes more....cuz i feel happy that they took thier time making it
by Mz.Sweetie B. on October 16th, 2009
unless its from bj's, then i want it homemade-a red velvet cake perferred.
by Vaporeongirl on September 7th, 2009
Store-bought, they can make really cool designs on the cake!
by Derf on October 16th, 2009
Which ever one tasted better.
When was the last time you ate a cupcake?

This is true!
by Cyndi Ninja on February 1st, 2008
But of course I would appreciate the thought. Maybe I'd go for the concept of having a stand-in store bought, just in case the home baked couldn't fulfill its edible responsibilities;)
by gtravels loves her life penguin on February 1st, 2008
ROFL!!!!! Yeah I know a few people that cant cook, bake or boil water!!!
