My birthday is coming up and my gf will bake a birthday cake of my choice. Thing is, I'm not super creative and can't come up with anything that is more special than a regular cake. I was thinking maybe a chocolate & hazelnut or pistachio one, or maybe even a carrot cake-esque one.
Any birthday cake ideas, inspos, etc?
Also general cake thread
Rum cakes are god-tier. 2nd choice of mine is banana cheesecake with rum sauce. I just love rum in desserts.

crepes and pastry cream cost next to nothing in ingredients and are as easy as fuck to make. wouldn't even take that long either. you got an hour and $4-5 worth of ingredients from your pantry then you can make one of these yourself
German chocolate cake is the shit

Ube (purple yam) cake, Op. It's relatively simple to make and tastes delicious. Something more exotic to try if you're tired of the standard fare.
