The only thing I like about my own birthday is getting to eat whatever dessert I want.
Really, that’s better than gifts or parties.
Every year my mom asks me what I want for my birthday in terms of dessert, and I’m always debating between a few. (OK, more like 10.) There are so many great desserts out there, from the white chantilly cake from Larry’s Bakery to (what used to be my childhood favorite) Dream Cake from Liliha Bakery.
But growing up, I’ve always preferred my mom’s baked treats, particularly her chocolate chip bundt cake (which is great frozen, too) and her very airy lemon cheesecake made with Jell-O.
The question came up again this week and I’m about to celebrate my — gulp! — 38th birthday. So I came up with a list of five of my favorite (right now, anyway) desserts I’d like to indulge in tomorrow.
Mom, I hope you’re reading this!
Here they are, in no particular order:

First!
Happy Birthday!
Hope you get the desert you want!
Actually, I think you were the first to wish me a happy birthday! Thanks!
Happy Birthday! Only one dessert? Really?
Of course not! LOL
Happy Birthday Cat!
The Chocolate Souffle at Roy’s is my favorite….with the vanilla bean ice cream of course!
Man, I do love that dessert!
Just get one of each.
That’s always the back-up plan!
Happy Birthday Cat! 38 but looking like 28! You must be adding formaldehyde in your cakes!
I wish! LOL!
Oh my- is today your b’day? Mine, too! Hau’oli La Hanau! (Clink with virtual glasses filled with the beverage of your choice) CHEERS! And many more!
Same same? You’re an Aries, too! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
I thought the saying was, One dessert for each year of life? 😉
Hey, now THAT’S a great idea!
CAT: What, no pies?
Pies are a totally different food group 🙂
ALL perfect choices. The chocolate cake from the Alley is also the bomb. Then go downstairs and have guri guri from Samurai. Oh my…I’m having some serious cravings.
Happy Birthday! Enjoy your day!
I never tried the chocolate cake from there. Is that the one that’s super expensive???? I gotta try that!
All das beste zum Geburtstag, Katze! 🙂
Loved the everything from Yum Yum Tree in Kahala, as well as Patisserie’s napoleons. I looove the mille feuille cake from Bernini.
A well made English date pudding is unforgettable – steamed, dark, cakey, and moist goodness!
Guava and chiffon cakes still hold a soft spot in my heart…belly.
Happiest of birthdays!
Veilen Dank! And thanks for your suggestions! All delish!
Happy birthday for tomorrow! May all your dessert (and other) wishes come true!
THANK YOU! And they did! 🙂
Just get one of each… no need to choose
