This is my favorite birthday cake—one that my mom has made for me many times over the years. It's a chocolate layer cake split into 4 layers, with mint chocolate chip ice cream between the layers, and Cool Whip on top. It's divine.
And this is my second favorite birthday cake—the red velvet cake from the Buttercup Bake Shop in NYC—973 2nd Avenue, betw. 51st-52nd Streets (they also have an Upper West Side location on 72nd St. betw. Amsterdam & Columbus)
As you can see from the plate, the cake was consumed at Veselka, a wonderful Ukrainian diner in the East Village (2nd Ave & 9th St.)
(The brunch which preceded the cake, a hearty pre-pub-crawl meal):
And it wouldn't be St. Paddy's without Guinness, now would it?
