Do any of you have any favorite birthday or special occasion recipes, restaurants or desserts???

Birthday cake? Icecream cake? Cupcakes?

I have been thinking about this over the course of the last week. I haven't focused much on it, but the idea of picking out a cake is always a serious task. There is so much to choose from! Do you go with your all time favorite or to mark a special milestone or change in your life, do you go with something completely different?

Homemade? Locally made/purchased? Store bought?

I am sorry if this is way off topic but birthdays have always been something I have celebrated for my friends. Only a few times since I was a kid have I really appreicated the meaning for myself. This year I get it. Last year I wanted to but turning 30 is scary and yes I realize it is irrational in a lot of ways. It was celebrated but I dreaded it. I am dreading this one because now it's going to be official. Not 30 anymore but actually INTO the 30's, like the twilight zone? LOL

I am sorry for rambling but I just woke up from a ridiculously sweet 3 hour nap and I had dreams of dancing icecream cones. How appropriate for me to post in here.

Food does play a huge role for birthdays, comes from the heart with love. When all else fails and not sure of a gift to get get food, cake, ice cream ! haha.

I for one enjoy when someone will cook my favorite meal or take me out to one of my fav dining places. I also love cake and ice cream for sure! German chocolate is my favorite of all time. Coworkers shared a birthday in August and we all got a huge cupcake that was german chocolate it was so good and great memory I still have. Also one year instead of cake I asked my then gf to make me some cream pies. She went all out with chocolate and banana ones. A couple big ones then some smaller ones.

For others I tend to take them to their fav dining spot and / or get some cake/cupcakes and ice cream or ice cream cake. I am not one to make cakes so I go out and buy them! But homemade cakes are great and maybe I should look into that in the future.
