Ldlelee Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 After staring at the remains of a birthday cake the size of my head (and ordering myself not to eat it), it got me thinking about what other people enjoy the most about cake. Since my research requires the opinion of experts, I have turned to AVEN. Me, I love the frosting. I usually eat it first before I move on to the cake. What about you guys?

arekathevampyre Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I love the cake on the whole but sometimes eat the frosting off first lol And yeah the deco taste good too (so I will keep that to the end lol) Link to post Share on other sites
Ase of Spades Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 The frosting is always the best part. Cake itself is good, but let's be real: It's just a frosting delivery system because eating it straight from the container is frowned on. EDIT: I see people posting their favorite cakes, so I'm gonna throw mine out there. Red velvet, as seen under the spoiler because the image is kinda big. Spoiler Link to post Share on other sites

Nebulous Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 The frosting! (As long as it's good frosting and not that cheap, too-sweet sugary stuff... Blegh!) Oh, and because this thread totally needs pics, here's a pic of my favourite kind of cake. Link to post Share on other sites

Seadra Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 i definitely personally prefer the frosting. i'm not a huge sweet tooth, but i love my sweets here and there. we all have different opinions though. Link to post Share on other sites

SkyWorld Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 The cake itself. I actually hate frosting. It's way too sweet and dry. There have been one exception so far. I prefer if cakes have little to no frosting, or else I'd just pick it off. I really like whipped toppings. I don't really like the other toppings either, not even on ice cream. #unpopular opinion My favorite cake is more of a pudding, that's why I love it so much. Dirt cake! <3 Spoiler for size.

Grumpy Alien Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 EATING IT I don’t like regular birthday/wedding cake as much - the kind you'd typically get in America. But other cakes, I love. Link to post Share on other sites

kelico Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I love eating it...but especially the cake itself. <3 My mom makes the best cakes, but watch out, it is packed with sugar. I have a sweet tooth, but sometimes even the frostings she makes are too sweet for me!! Which one wouldn't think was possible lol. Link to post Share on other sites

XYZ96 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 It all depends on the cake. Cakes, like people, all have their strengths and weaknesses (except maybe bienenstich, that cake is the overachiever of the cake world), some cakes have a fantastic crust, others have great toppings, sometimes they have magnificent frosting, and some other ones, the cake bit is the best part.. Some cakes, are like savant cakes, the whole part of them is kinda just ok.. except this one part, were you would get the whole cake just for that one tiny bit of it, for example, dairy queen vanilla ice cream cake. Vanilla ice cream is ok, but the real amazing bit of that cake, that makes the cake worth eating, is that chocolate bit in the middle, it is spectacular... so it's underachieving in everything except that brown amazingness in the center, it could get into Harvard with just that bit.. Spoiler But with the best cakes, it's all about how everything together complements each other, where taking one thing out or replacing it, just make the whole cake worse examples: Spoiler Zwetschkendatschi with streusel (plum cake with crumble) it's got to be thin crust though, several mess it up, by making the crust to fluffy and thick.. banana chocolate cake Bienenstich or bee sting cake Donauwelle (exact translation: Danube wave) there are also some cakes that do everything well, except one thing, those include cakes like most cakes with meringue/baiser (messing up the whole cake with that weird white egg foam) and also often chocolate cream cake (crust and non-cream parts often aren't done all to well..) Spoiler Baiser/meringue: look at that poor cake, it's been ruined Link to post Share on other sites
timewarp Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 The part that's on my plate of course. Silly question. Link to post Share on other sites
Myssterry Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I prefer cakes that are not iced. Lemon drizzle is good, orange and almond drizzle, fruit cake without icing, a sponge cake with just a jam filling, etc. I do like coffee walnut cake with a buttercream topping though.
