why has no one told me how delicious this is? I've never had it before, but it's amazing.

What are you favorite cake flavors?

That's just a big ass cookie. Nothing wrong with it, but it isn't cake.

Carrot cake, red velvet cake, and Italian Cream cake are my favorites, mainly because both have cream cheese frosting.

Is hummingbird cake like 4 and 20 blackbirds baked in a pie?

Too much work to catch the hummingbirds.

and cookie cake usually results in a crappy cookie. so bad cake, bad cookie, double fail.

I have a pretty good recipe for cookie cake. I haven't made it more than a handful of times though. My husband really likes cookie cakes, but I just found a chocolate cake he really likes.

Based on the other pics you've posted, I suspect that you're starting with a much higher quality cookie than we usually see in cookie cakes.

I much prefer pie over cake, but my favorite cake is probably coconut. I also enjoy a good tres leches cake.

I thought this was going to be a picture of your latest creation. Had never heard of hummingbird cake before.

It doesn't look that fancy, but it's delicious. Also, not sure why it's sideways.

There are a lot of County shows that have been won by the hummingbird cake. My oldest son is a foodie and he made one from scratch for the County show and placed in the youth division. We were adamant that he do the entire thing start to finish. The only help he had was putting the cake in the oven and then taking it out. Everything else was his responsibility and he honestly did really well.

When we arrived to the turn in, it was laughable what kids turned in as their own work. So much so the ladies working the turn in mentioned "wow, a kid that actually did his own project".

not sideways for me. Your not fancy looks better than anything I've ever made.

Here's the latest one. I like to think of it as an adult super hero birthday cake.

My favorite and the one my kids and nephews always ask me to make is chocolate cake with cream cheese icing.

I've never heard of humming bird cake, I'll need to look into that.

I used to make fun of the flourless chocolate cake eaters and then my oldest (who loves to bake) made one to test a recipe prior to making one for a friend. Wow, I was wrong and ate crow and cake as it was delicious!

Never had a hummingbird cake, will have to try it. Personal favorite is chocolate cake or mandarin orange cake.

My first thought was how would you ever clean enough hummingbirds to make a cake.

My wife made this cake this weekend and it was probably the best cake I've ever had.

It would be like making crab cakes.

Thats why its really important to make your nectar really strong and let it ferment. That way the hummers get drunk and fall to the ground. Makes them easy to collect and improves the flavor.
