Something Delicious

I was just wondering what your birthday traditions were food wise? Does food play a huge role (family meals, going out with friends) or is it just something that happens at somepoint during the day?
Oddly, food plays a huge role in every holiday and special occasion OTHER than birthdays. If I'm dating someone, a nice quiet dinner somewhere. If not, there is an obligatory dinner with the parents unless they are out of town. Otherwise I sit at home with the kiddo like any other day, so just regular meals.

Do any of you have any favorite birthday or special occasion recipes, restaurants or desserts???
If I do go out, it's usually for steak (my fav).

Birthday cake? Icecream cake? Cupcakes?

I have been thinking about this over the course of the last week. I haven't focused much on it, but the idea of picking out a cake is always a serious task. There is so much to choose from! Do you go with your all time favorite or to mark a special milestone or change in your life, do you go with something completely different?

Homemade? Locally made/purchased? Store bought?

I'm one of those folks who's never had a birthday party, so things about that stick in my head...especially the store-bought cake. For some reason it has been important over the years. (You know, childhood wishes of wanting the pretty store-bought-decorated cake, etc etc.) Soooo....once I got older, I started buying myself one of those tiny store bought cakes that only serves 1-2. At this point, it has become my own tradition. I'm more than happy with that. lol
