Is it OK to make a birthday cake for yourself?

Posted by efreehling, October 13, 2008

Hmm, OK, I'm not trying to imply that I don't have wonderful people around me who love me, but I love to bake. The thing is, whenever I go to the trouble of baking and icing a cake from scratch, it's always for someone else's birthday, so I am usually making their favorite. My birthday is this week and I am considering making my own birthday cake, just to get to make something I chose for once. It feels kind of strange, though. So, my question: Would you bake your own birthday cake, and what cake would you make? Please be specific on details like icing, number of layers, etc ;)
