Which do you prefer on a birthday cake?

The cake without the frosting.

The frosting on the cake.

Or the filling in the cake?

I choose the sugary good stuff that blankets the cake.

I wish the whole cake were made of nothing but frosting.
Thanks for this!

Depends on what flavors. Probably chocolate icing, strawberry cake and butter cream filling. Now im going to eat cake.

Cake is nothing more than a vehicle for eating frosting, IMHO. Preferably buttercream or cream cheese frosting, and lots of it. The Cool Whip (or whatever) frosting is nasty.

Some person in history said "Let them eat cake", but that poor wretch had never discovered the joys of frosting.

The cake itself, I'm not even sure what counts as frosting.

Strawberry and cream on top and strawberry and vanilla as layers.

The cake, the frosting, or the filling?

Princess would enjoy to taste jimi's lovely strawberry cream cake, above, and in agreement with George_H ... the whole experience that is "cake".

I don't like fillings or frosting but I love cake. Everybody used to gripe on my birthday because my granny would make me a plain chocolate cake without frosting. She'd always get a tub of frosting and put it next to the cake so other people could frost their own pieces but people still complained about it.

I loved frosting when I was little, but now I just like some moderately sweet, moist chocolate cake.
Thanks for this!

I can eat frosting by itself and be perfectly happy.
But a cake without frosting would just be freakin' disappointing. So, frosting wins!
Thanks for this!

The cake with light frosting, though I think it's prettier with heavy frosting - I usually scrape most of it off to have only a little. Not a fan of filling inside of cake unless its the frosting in between layers.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned ice cream as a filling they'd love in the cake.

The best birthday cake I ever had was an Angel Cake with a strawberry glaze. My mother is partial to spice cake no frosting, one of my sisters prefers chocolate with chocolate filling and chocolate icing the other sister prefers lemon cake with lemon frosting. My father liked them all!

Mmmm, spice cake. I could really go for some coffee cake from Village Inn now.

The more frosting, the merrier. Cake is good ,too. I make homemade buttercream. It's on there thick enough, there's enough frosting for each slice of cake.

Haven't made a round cake, in eons, to place anything in the middle, but it's all about the frosting.

There are thousands of cakes out there and heaps of different fillings and frostings.

My answer has to be depends on the what the cake is or what the filling is or what the frosting is. No fork fits all....... But great question though.

Frosting. Definitely the frosting.
With a nice moist cake. Best is when the cupcake to frosting ratio is practically equal.
