Cake Ideas for a non Chocolate lover

Any recommendations for your favorite Choclate lovers birthday cake? I'm trying to decide what to make for Mom's cake. Not to difficult and something that can travel. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

  1. If we are talking Chocolate. The recipe Katie made for Jude's 10th birthday. It is not simple but nor is it difficult. And it is based on a book, Mom will love that, http://inhomecooking.blogspot.com/2008/09/back-by-request.html In fact thatnks for the reminder I might make it for book club here next week.

    Thanks always for being so good to her.

  2. I did this in cake form (as a sorting hat) for Brendan's birthday. Delish! Haven't tried the cupcakes yet, but am dying to. Are you going to see her this weekend?

  4. Mom also appreciates a yellow cake with chocolate frosting. I mentioned I made that for Evan's birthday and she said, "Oh, my favorite!"

    I used two mixes and made a 3-layer cake, it looked impressive.

  6. I would presume she will not be eating the ENTIRE thing and that there are not 12 T butter in ONE serving...
