Re: Birthday Cake or Pie?
at eric's urging, i'm more pictures of some truly good cakes (he is also of the mind that anyone who thinks cake is glorified bread is not well-educated... gastronomically). pomai, i suggest you try these whenever you get the chance, because you've clearly never had what i would call a good cake. and expanding your food knowledge is always a joyful thing.
note: all these pics were from reid's onokinegrindz blog.
raspberry chocolate pyramid from jj's.
chocolate cake from grand cafe.
warm lilikoi pudding cake from mariposa.
i've heard that roy's does a really great molten chocolate cake. i intend to try it and see how it compares to the one at 12th avenue grill (which i like) or the one at morton's (which i love).
for a less gourmand cake experience that is still relatively good, try dobash or chantilly at liliha bakery. or you can go to mary catherine's. i've had her cakes at several weddings, and i remember them being pretty good.
oh, and for the record? the question specifically asks, "birthday cake or pie?" i'm the one with the "you're thinking too hard about this" vote. if it's your birthday, you get to choose whether to have cake, pie, cannoli, froyo, a bar of xocolatl dagoba organic chocolate, a variety of kankanen, or even zenzai.
