Home baked. You can eat it while it's kinda warm.
-
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.
-
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....even if it isnt any good I know someone cared enough to take the time to try!!
-
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;)
-
Homemade... I'll have a lemon cake with lemon icing please...:D
-
A home baked cake, please... :)
-
Home baked, so I can make something like this~
-
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.
-
I'd really rather have cheesecake
-
Store bought . . . there's no one left in my family that's much of a baker. Sad.
-
Home made... store bought don't make it feel your own.
-
both at the same time
-
Store bought, Publix cake with whipped topping. Yummy
-
U can't "Buy Love"!!! Sex is another thing, I know!!! John
-
Store bought CHEESE CAKE!!!!!!!!!!! :)
-
Homemade. Makes it more special.
-
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:-)
-
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.
-
Homemade cake is always best, but store bought cakes are good too.
-
Mr Grandma's homemade all the way :)
-
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.
-
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
-
Homemade by far. Store bought is always the same and the frosting is not nearly as good as homemade buttercream frosting.
-
Homemade. I might make my own cake with a few friends for my birthday this year. It all depends on how things go.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Who's making the cake? Anyways, assuming it's someone good and their making the cake from scratch, the homemade one.
-
I always have home baked.
-
Homemade all the time. Made with love and thoughfulness
-
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. :)
-
Store bought. They come with those big frosting roses.
-
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.
-
Depends on your cooking ability and time.
-
store bought chocolate cake with real vanilla frosting...None of that crappy whipped stuff :)
-
Home-baked cake with canned icing is usually better and moister. ;-)
-
I don't know anyone who is a great baker- so I'll go with store bought!
-
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
-
youve got to be kiddin
-
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.
-
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!
-
more love in home baked, bake me one:p
-
I like home baked cakes more....cuz i feel happy that they took thier time making it

A store bought cake because you can add pictures and anything you want.

store bought of course. safeway stores have the most delicious cakes. yellow cake with butter cream frosting is to die for..not to mention their strawberry custard cake.

My cousin has a bakery but it's a family business and they specialize in decorated cakes. They make the best
-
Store-bought, they can make really cool designs on the 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."
-
