Acceptable ‘birthday’ cake?

I offered to bake my husband a birthday cake. He asked for no icing and something a bit different. So I went for a pineapple upside down cake.

I’m 50% happy with it and 50% thinking it doesn’t look like a ‘celebration’ cake. I’ll probably pop to the store and grab a decorated one to go with it. We’re off to lunch with family today to celebrate.

Do you think it’s ok? Or wild you keep it for a at home dessert and just get a bigger cake at the store? DH hasn’t seen it yet; he’ll tell me it’s great…anything to avoid having to stop at the shop.

It’s not a huge deal, but some unbiased advice would be appreciated. I completely understand if you don’t feel it says ‘birthday’.

My word you are so clever! That looks amazing and a perfect celebration cake!

My two have Colin the caterpillar cakes! No one wants to see my attempts at baking!

If your dh likes pineapple cake, then that’s all that matters.

Sorry OP I don’t think it’s birthday suitable at all. In fact the only kind thing to do after making this cake would be drop it directly to my house.

Obviously kidding it looks lush.

Thanks all. Having a lovely time and I’m afraid it doesn’t look like they’ll be any leftovers sorry! 💕
