Which is your favourite cake? and do you have a favorite picture book featuring cakey delights?

ooooh... *thinks* I love ALL cake... Especially a Prim N Proper Victoria Sponge or a chocolate fudge cake..(I don't really mind any sort of cake as long as it doesn't have walnuts in and is terrifically )

As for cakey books: both Shifty McGifty and Don't Dip Your Chips in your Drink, Kate do good cake
