Fun Birthday Trivia: Although you might celebrate your birthday every year, your actual birthday only occurs once every 7 years! Not counting the leap years, the date you were born on moves each year to the following day of the week. This means your annual celebration is actually for your birth date - not your birthday - and in truth your birth day i.e. the actual day you were born on occurs only every 7 years!
And here's our first prize for the day:
First Question: Do you make yourself a cake, or does someone in the family surprise you with one on your birthday?-

Happy 2nd Birthday! .. as far as me and Birthday cake its been a while since I've had birthday cake... I always seems to just get myself some chocolate and enjoy my cards my kids make me :)
My husband usually is in charge of the cake but he's not very good at remembering what I like and dislike... so the kids and I helped him a little this year. The truth is, I'd rather have pie!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I usually 'let' my hubby and/or sons purchase a cake for me on my birthday -- I just can't bring myself to bake my own birthday cake :)
It varies from birthday to birthday. Sometimes I bake my own but if I feel I can afford the calories, I will indulge in a store-bought cake with all that delicious frosting!
usually someone makes my cake for me,
Happy 2nd Birthday!
Hubby will get me a cheesecake instead of a birthday cake.
I do not make my own cake, usually hubby goes out and gets me a nice chocolate cake that is very delicious and decadent!
Feliz Cumpleanos! Happy Birthday!
ok, since my last baking episode we happily purchase all birthday cakes from our local baker or grocery store, lol, much tastier and safer that way.
As a former professional cake decorator, I refuse to make my own cake. I now expect that my husband will buy me a Carvel ice cream cake for my birthday...really, I don't even ask anymore, cuz he knows I love the ice cream cake and he always gets one for me! what a great guy I've got!
Happy 2nd birthday!! As I usually have guests on my birthday, I also bake a cake... or rather two :-).
Happy Birthday!!! I look forward to another year of your fabulous stuff!!!
When it comes to birthdays our family isn't big on cake so I usually make an alternate dessert!My hubby and I have a close birthday so we usually share!
:)Kathy
Congratulations on your second birthday!! My husband is in charge of my cake. He usually asks me what kind I would like! Yum.
Happy birthday! And the answer is neither because I share a birthday with my daughter and she gets the cake organised for her! (usually from a shop!)
Someone makes a cake for me usually my MIL shes great. Its my fav day of the year.
Happy Birthday!
I don't recall the last time I had a BD cake for me...sad isn't it?! LOL
Happy Birthday Emma's Paperie...you're the BEST! Since my birthday is Dec. 22, I don't usually get an official cake...but some special dessert....who REALLY needs a cake in December, anyway??
Since my birthday is Dec.22, no one really wants cake...but I do get some type of a special dessert! Like we REALLY need more dessert in December! Happy Birthday Emma's....you're the best!
I make the cake in our family, but can't wait till our girls are old enough to do it themselves. They can't wait either!
Congratulations on 2 successful years! Happy, Happy Birthday! :)
I can't believe it's only been 2 years. :) Way to go!
Ummm... Usually the hubby and kids surprise me with a horribly butchered cake with rainbow icing & sprinkles, lol! :)
My husband is in charge of my cake. Usually it is a rare year that I don't get 2 cakes. He can never remember what kind of frosting I like.
We buy a dessert sampler platter from Whole Foods and then spend the rest of the year at the gym
Happy Birthday! No cake for me...usually dessert at my favorite restaurant with my SO.
I usually figure out what kind of cake or birthday goodie I want....and then I take care of getting it. Lots of times it's an ice cream cake! Happy birthday to you!!
Well, after NOT getting a cake on my 30th birthday - we (me or hubby or both) always make sure that we have birthday cakes. We usually don't do the surprise thing - and sometimes I even pick out the design and colors for it (the more outrageos the better) but it always comes from my favorite baker.
My husband always buys me a Mud Pie from Baskin' & Robbins for my birthday.
My mom or sister usually make a cake for me~ we go out to eat with our entire family then go to someones house for cake. Fun!
Lori Washburn
No cake for me, if I want one I have to make it :)
Usually my husband and the kids will buy a cake for me. Happy Birthday!!
Happy 2nd B-day!! My husband gets me a cake, but it always seems to be HIS favorite...altho he always says he thought it was MY favorite! Oh well, it's the thought that counts, right?
My husband and kids like to pick out my cake- with some suggestions from me!
I have to make my own cake if I want one.
Happy birthday!!
My husband usually buys a cake for me. Sometimes I help him pick it out. ;)
Happy, Happy Birthday!!! And Congratulations!
I don't bake my own birthday cake. My family usually buys one for me with LOTS of icing!!! YUM!!
Happy Birthday! My husband usually buys my birthday cake.
Since I share my birthday with my only granddaughter, we also share a special handmade cake...
presented by my lovely daughter and son-in-law. Always a very special day each year.
Nancy in So Cal
My momm always makes a cake for me. When we were little she always made a shape cake, like a bear, butterfly, giraffe she was very talented carving/cutting cake shapes. :) Now since we are older it is just our favorite.
Melissa from Naches
We buy a cake at our local store. It's a chocolate mousse cream cake and it's homemade by the lady of this small bakery that delivers to the store and absolutely delicious and everybody's favorite. She also makes a fantastic cheese-cake, so sometimes we buy two as her prices are realy very low too.
Happy Birthday! I am the cake maker around our house, so I make my own.
Never have a typical birthday cake - I order my favorite dessert at my favorite restaurant!
Happy Birthday!!!... no one has ever made a homemade cake for me but my mother always makes my fav breakfast, lunch and dinner....:) and my husband always purchases my favorite cake...
At this stage, it's usually a restaurant celebration, so the kitchen staff makes the cake.
Happy Birthday!!
My Husband and Kids usually make me one or buy something yummy...
I was going to make myself a cake this year and then my Mom surprised me and made me brownies! She said she thought it was a cake mix when she bought it and I told her it was better than a cake.
Happypy Birthdayyyy !
I love black and white chocolat cake with stramberry. Hummmm !!
Scrapbises.
Both, Sometimes I make one and sometimes my hubby buys one. God bless!
Peggy
Even though it's my birthday, I usually have to take care of everything! So yes, I bake my own white cupcakes ;)
Congrats and Happy Birthday!
Here in my household we make each others cakes.. my sister makes the best.. she decorates them just so perfectly..
We head on over to a local cupcake eatery for a Coco for Coconut cupcake!
My Mom still generally makes a cake- although this year my husband bought me one!
No I don't make myself a cake. My DH is a great cook and always make me a cake for my Birthday, but he can't make frosting, so I do that. Its a cooked frosting that is my favorite, passed on in his family.
Pattyjo
I usually get several cakes for my birthday--my Mom makes one, my husband buys one, and I have one at work!
Happy Birthday Emma's Paperie!! Thanks for the chance to win one of the many great prize packages today!
As for my birthday cake, if my day falls during the week, I normally make it, although I usually let the kids decorate it. If it's a weekend and we're getting together with family, my sister is the designated cake-baker-decorator. And she's awesome!
Usually my MIL or mother makes me a cake.
My super husband usually bakes me up my favorite--chocolate cake with chocolate frosting! Now the kiddos usually pitch in too!
My husband (who is an excellent cook) makes my cake. Usually it is his aunt's chocolate cake recipe with homemade frosting. When I was small and living in Oregon, I always had angel food cake with fresh strawberries and whipped cream on top.
My husband and I share the same birthday, which is kind of fun, so our daughter (with the help of her grammy) surprised us with a cake this year.
HAPPY BRTHDAY EMMA'S!!!!
My daughters, who are 13 and 16 make my birthday cake every year -- strawberry shortcake, my fave. YUM!
My husband always orders my cake from a super bakery here called Graeters!
Baking a cake, in my book, is cooking and I refuse o cook for my birthday. But someone always brings over a cake. Yes, I'm spoiled. BTW, 2nd Happy Birthday!
Now that the kids are a little older, last year they got some help from dad and made me cupcakes.
My sister usually buys some wonderful cupcakes for us.
Always my family purchase a cake for my bithday! It's a tradition for each birthday in the family.
I do not make my self a cake. Usually my mother-in-law makes one for me.
Happy second birthday!
My birthday cakes are either made by my husband, my mother or a bakery.
All depends on where and how I am celebrating my birthday.
No set rules here - we've done both! Thanx for the inspiration and blog candy opp!
Happy Birthday to you! I usually have dessert with my dinner out rather than a cake.
My mother usually makes my birthday cake. I will be the big 4-0 this year. So hard to believe!
When I married my husband, I married his birthday custom -- a "cake" made of a stack of doughnuts. Well, at least everyone gets their favorite flavor, lol.
There's a special store in our town we purchase cakes just for our birthday. They really are a special treat!
