We will take a break from synonyms and antonyms today. Instead, create a sentence in Spanish (with the English translation) describing either your favorite type of cake or your least favorite cake. It could also be a description of a wedding or birthday cake

Please describe the type of cake by name like: strawberry short cake, chocolate cake, pineapple upside down cake, etc. Pictures would be great! smile

Please remember to check for corrections and to vote for your favorites.

Cuando tuve cuatro años, mi papá me horneó un pastel en forma de mariposa. El pastel fue tan hermoso que no permití cortarlo. Poco después se puso mohoso así que tuvimos que tirarlo. ¡Qué tragedia!

When I was four, my dad baked me a cake in the shape of a butterfly. The cake was so beautiful I did not allow it to be cut. Soon it became moldy and we had to throw it away. What a tragedy!

It's a little known fact but "Wedding Cake" is the best contraceptive ever invented.

Eso es la razón por la que no me gusta.

El pastel que me gusta más es el que contiene mazapán.

I like cake that contains marzipan.

Tortilla de patatas. Pues, no es un pastel exactamente, pero tiene la forma de un pastel. A really thin cake, anyway. I know it's not really a cake, but it's so delicious. And, I am suffering from what you might call a 'hankering.' I am stuck at college with only cafeteria food and cannot get tortilla de patatas out of my head. Seriously, I had a dream about buying eggs and potatoes last night.

Also, I wanted to share this picture. For the record, they don't normally look like this. This one is actually rather cake-shaped. This thing is a beast. Imagine the skillet you'd need to cook it!

I don't know. I'm not sure it's cooked in the middle. A normal-sized one, though--now, THAT's delicious. - MacFadden, Sep 17, 2010

OK I know that I'll look like a fool when I say that but I've never tasted the cheese cake before and I don't think that it's going to be delicious I mean cheese should be salt right ?

can any one be very kind and nice to me and tell me how to make a cheese cake , please ?


And wow I think that I and Amy share the same taste I searched for over an hour for a '' chocolate cake '' pics on the internet and the only one I like is Amy's one alt text

Lovely, I have no ideal how to make a cheescake, but I guarantee you that they are VERY good!! Especially with cherries on top!! - 001a2987, Sep 17, 2010
You use a lot of cream cheese, eggs and sugar. You need a spring-form pan, too. - JoyceM, Sep 17, 2010
It really doesn't taste like cheese. It doesn't even contain cheese in the 'chedder' or 'monterey jack' sense. - MacFadden, Sep 17, 2010
