Let them eat cake ...
... but which one?
My office buys a cake for each employee on his or her birthday, and with mine coming up Monday, I have some decisions to make. I'm not strictly limited to cakes; coworkers have chosen donuts, ice cream cakes, and various pies. Yesterday, we had bagels and flavored cream cheeses from a restaurant across town.
All that said, the woman who orders the birthday confections has requested (and I have veto power) that I order a cake; lately, everyone's picked ice cream cakes (which she can't eat) or bagels (which are becoming passe).
This will be my fourth birthday while at the company. I don't remember every year's picks, but I'm pretty sure last year I chose a chocolate-frosted Neapolitan cake, which as I recall was good but not spectacular.
At this point, most people would elicit suggestions from coworkers -- who actually will be affected by the choice -- but instead, I'm going to ask you guys. What kind of cake (or not-cake) should I order for my birthday?

Get something from La Baguette. They have really good cakes, but don't get a regular "American" cake, get something exotic like Strawberry Chantilly or Chocolate Mousse Cake.
The more important question is: What kind of cake will we be having Saturday night? ;)
I always go for a cheesecake.
Man, we all have birthdays coming. Are we really getting that old?!?
no - i refuse to get old and stand in the face of conventional wisdom. Old is totally a mindset. Young is at heart.
I like coconut cake, or possibly a red velvet cake with a cream cheese frosting.
Or you could just get an ice cream cake and tell the coworker to suck it.
Hey! Wait. Get a coconut cream pie. Totally.
Stargazer Girl ~ creative minds think alike.
Kate ~ if a caked was only so-so last year, i strongly suggest u find a way to wrinkle out of buying one from this person this year.
come up w/an excuse like
"Paul's surprising me w/one, even tho i know he thinks i dont know"
that should work [:
me fuzzy on the date, btw..
I just wanted to leave lucky number 10.
No, really, I wanted to ask about the rice. Weren't you supposed to get rice pudding from Against the Grain or something? (Can't remember the name of the place -- didn't you and Paul visit it when you were in NYC?)
