I cant believe it - 6 posts and no one has mentioned Cake Man Raven on Fulton Street! He is known for Red Velvet Cake but I like the pineapple too. He only sells slices out of the store so that would work out well for your cake quest.
708 Fulton St. in Brooklyn (Very easy to get to - C to Lafayette gets you right there)

i adore the layer cakes at formerly yura, now the corner bakery on 3rd ave and 93rd st.. the yellow cake is my favorite but they don't have it all the time. their cupcakes are lovely, too.
amy's is another good place to get a delicious slice of cake.
Happy happy B-days!!! And what a fun idea. You are so lucky to have so many choices. I've been to NYC several times and the only one of the bakeries I'm familar with is Magnolia which I wasn't impressed with at all. These are such great suggestions for my next visit. Does Chick-a-Licious or Blue Ribbon Bakery do cakes?
Baked in Red Hook is awesome... But you need to go to Sugar Sweet Sunshine Bakery (Get the Bob cake and a big cup of banana pudding)
I love the Busy Bee Cake at Blackhound. It's on 2nd between 10th and 11th.
I do love the Cake Man, although the 35 people always crowded around the door on Fulton Street bring back terrible memories of when my roommate tried to make me wait for a Magnolia cupcake in February.
The applesauce-carrot cake at The Little Pie Company is amazing! moist and dense. 407 W. 14th St (near 9th ave.) I wasn't a big fan of cake (in general) until I tried this.
Thank you so much everybody! I am sorting through your suggestions now, but keep 'em rolling!

Baked in Red Hook! This is probably out of your 30-minutes-from-Manhattan range, but it is so worth it!!! And there are plenty of great places to eat and drink in the area to make the trek extra worth it: Good Fork, 360, Hope and Anchor, Boca Lupo, Lucali's, Alma Viva, Frankie's Spuntino, Brooklyn Social. I hope you give it a try!
I really disliked Cake Man Raven..
And have to agree with Rebecca about Make My Cake.. Best Red Velvet I have ever had. I have made Red Velvet Cake from several sources and still can't find anything better then theirs.. Its beyond..
