Let's bake some Cake...

What is your favorite kind of cake? I will always vote for Carrot Cake first, then probably a Hummingbird or Coconut Cake. But since I can really only eat a few bites, I'll stick with the fabric-kind of Layer Cake. You know, those 10" x 10" stacks of fabric squares that are just as yummy, just as...
