Birthday is in five days - Which cake do I choose?

I seriously can’t decide. They all look amazing!

Pie is always the answer, but of those, the cheese cake.

Cheesecake is a pie

A peach pie. A nice cobbler.

Of these options, cheesecake!

I let my cat, Cheddar, sniff the picture. He checked all the cakes but he seemed more focused on the top row. Do with his fuzzy knowledge what you will... A fuzzy orange kitty, close up

So cute!

Mmm cheesecake.

😋

Cheesecake!

I mean that cheesecake appears to have fresh strawberries.

Cheesecake. Baked.

The cheesecake.

Cheesecake, obv

Ya, obv

The custard pie. (cheesecake)

Cheesecake.

but the first one looks best

This is actually true lol

Yes!

Way too much frosting on most of those cakes. Gotta go with cheesecake.

I consider sprinkles the herpes of pastry, but even if the other 5 cakes weren't disgusting, I'd still take the cheesecake.

And don't get me started on fondant.

Those fancy textured clumps of frosting that make up the "trim" of a cake are usually dried out by the time you get to eating the cake. Just not good.

But the question is whether you want to choose based on flavor, texture, or appearance. If you want a pink princess cake from the bottom right. Get that. If you want cheesecake because that's your favorite, get that. Like sprinkles? Do that. Dislike sprinkles because texture? Skip them!

Pick what makes you happy.

I personally would go with the cheesecake or the top middle cake, I think. But I'd skip the clumps on top of the middle cake.

The frosting clumps you mentioned is a really good point. However, for whatever reason I’ve always enjoyed them more when they’re a little dry lol. But I’m definitely thinking either that cake or the cheesecake.

That's tough. You could roll a dice.

Here's a method. When facing a choice where all options seem to be good, pick a random one. As an extension, if, after picking, you don't like the selection, eliminate it and pick another random.

Repeat until good enough, otherwise again pick a random one, but this time final.

Since they all are ok, there no wrong choice, thus a random is still ok and better than no choice.

That is a good idea! I used to do the process of elimination a lot lol

I vote for the strawberry cream cheese cake.

Personally I'd want the top right or bottom left, but I love sprinkles and dislike cheesecake.

I like the green if only because it's interesting looking, but I'm not a fan of thick fondant.

Six is too many, first narrow to two.

I agree 100%, I’ve narrowed it down to three lol

To everyone saying cheesecake. Eww. Cheesecake has the worst texture, how can anyone even.

None! I can't stand the texture of any cream in my mouth. So whipped cream and other frequent creams on cakes are an absolute no-go for me.

I also don't have a sweet tooth at all so I'll be fine with a birthday pizza :D

At my sister's 3rd birthday party my mom made whipped cream, only the cream was spoiled. I was the only one who could taste it. I was unable to eat whipped cream for the next 30 years.

I get that, I hate the spray can whipped creams lol

In 5 days, 5 days....

Lol yes

Autistic cake thread. Reminds me of the show about an autistic doctor. He wanted all the different cakes in one as far as I can remember. Maybe try to combine them all?

I don’t know if that’s possible, but it’d be pretty cool if it was
