What is your favorite birthday cake? My mom always made us a homemade Chocolate Buttermilk Double-Decker cake for our birthdays....so even if I have to make my own, my favorite still remains the cake my mom would spoil us with.
What was your most memorable birthday? My most memorable birthday was this past year when my husband broke ground on our new house.....such a sweet gift.
Do you like surprises? I LOVE surprises....but I also love to snoop....but when it comes right down to it.....I would rather be surprised than know what someone was planning for me.
How do you celebrate? I love to celebrate veeeeeerrry quietly....just my husband and little girl...no frills...no party...perhaps no cooking though :)
Melissa created a beautiful tabletop frame......enjoy!

Honestly, Im not a huge ice cream fan(Unless its vanilla soft ice cream) so I never have it with my cake.
I don't usually have ice cream with cake...the cold hurts my teeth.
If the cake isn't a white cake, I prefer vanilla bean ice cream. If it's a white cake, then I'd like some kind of chocolate that has something chunky in it -- like nuts or some kind of candy. Mmmmm.
I don't have ice cream with my cake....I don't like the messiness of the two of them running all together.....and believe me....I know that is a little weird...!! lol!!
the past few cakes have been ice cream cakes which is kinds nice since I don't have to scoop out ice cream as well. Otherwise, I would just eat cake!
Yes! I usually have mint chocolate chip ice cream with my birthday cake. Everyone in my family loves it.
Ilove to eat vanilla ice cream with chocolate cake minus the icing. I love to mix the cake w/the ice cream. I've done this since I was a kid. LOVE IT!!!!
GOT to have ice cream! Good ol' vanilla with cake is the best :)
By all means ! My favorite from Baskin n Robbins is praline and cream. My favorite from the grocery is Blue Bell's Century Sundae. AND where there is ice cream there must be chocolate syrup. Excuse me while i take a peek in the freezer and see what kind of ice cream may be in there... thanks, ms.cheryl
I love ice cream, but not usually with cake. My favorite flavor is any intense chocolate.
Sometimes if there are guests over. Usually French Vanilla! Beautiful projects on here! Thanks for the cahance to win! :)Kathy
Forget ice cream w/ cake; how about an ice cream cake. Any flavor is welcomed.

I usually don't have ice cream WITH my birthday cake... but if I did, it would be Coffee Coffee Buzz Buzz Buzz by B&J's!!
I can't eat ice cream.. so I eat only cake!
If it's real rich cake, I'll skip the ice cream, especially if it's just vanilla. However, if it's packed full of chunky goodness, I'm in!

There's a tie for this one - either mint choco chip OR coffee - depends on the mood of the day! And I don't like ice cream touching my cake - if they know me they'll serve it separately!

It has to be vanilla. That is the best with fresh strawberries, and that is the other requirement for my cake. ´=)
