A perennial favorite is carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. The freshly grated carrots add so much moisture to the mix and are also healthy. It is so worth the time to make this cake from scratch. It is also important to use only the freshest ingredients. Farm fresh eggs and butter will make a difference to the taste.

Pound cake is another old fashioned favorite that is still very popular. It is a great way to create a filling and tasty dessert. Thick slices of butter rich cake are placed in the bottom of a bowl. Generous helpings of seasonal fruit such as raspberries, blueberries or strawberries are layered over the top. Finally a scoop of vanilla ice cream and some whipped cream are added to make a simple but crowd pleasing finish to any meal.

Citrus make a great addition to many cakes. Both orange and lemon can be used and are equally popular. Using the freshly squeezed zest of the fruit is crucial to getting a great taste. It is important to remember to wash the outside of the fruit before grating off the zest. An light but tangy frosting makes the perfect accompaniment.

Special occasions throughout the year such as birthdays, Halloween, fourth of July and Easter are all great times to order a beautiful cake. Both family and guests will be talking about it for months to come.
