OT - what cake should I choose!!!
Hi all
I have a party with family in two weeks time for hubby's 30th! Its very early as his actual birthday is the day before baby Angus is due!!!
I want your opinions on which birthday cake to get him!
I've already decided on one of these as he LOVES cheesecake & profiteroles... but its more desserty, so I do want to get him another one.

My 3 options are these: (as hubby loves golf, loves gardening and loves dogs!)

Mum suggested a cake from Costco as they are cheap and huge! But have never tasted one... anyone know if the big costco birthday cakes taste good?!?!?!
Thanks all!

Personally I like the golf one best. Which is odd as I love gardening and dogs but hate golf!!
The gardening one is really brown and as spring is on the way (hopefully!) the green of the golf one looks nice and colourful. And I couldn't bring myself to take a sharp knife and slice off that poor puppies head!!
They are all great though so good luck deciding!! I made my dh a butterscotch caramel cake the other week for his birthday. It didn't rise very much and was horrendously sweet but he loved it!!!

I really wanted to hear if anyone has had the Costco cakes... they do look YUMM and HUGE but its all about the taste isn't it!
Was it recent her birthday? Also, which Costco was it? We're closest to Reading. Just wondering if the same branches would do the same cakes?
Probably?!!

Personally i dont think the costco ones look any where near as nice as the ones you have chosen and you knw these cakes are not just any cakes there marks and spencers cakes lol
ooohhh you have made me sooo hungry lol

Out of the other cakes though the gardening one is my favouirte, how cute are those little carrots and radishes!
The golf cake comes second!

and i agree with babyblue we had a costco one a while back and the sponge was nice but the icing was just too sickeningly sweet.
have fun!

But I would say, I had marks and spencers cake for my wedding cake and got so many compliments on how nice it was, if that helps!

I am not really a cakey person but love flapjacks and cookies and things, am hoping to fill my maternity leave days with baking (before baby arrives obviously!)
I like the gardening cake.
