Need great recipe for birthday cake for my boyfriend

[RaineH]

I love to cook, but am not an experienced baker. My boyfriend likes all kinds of cream cakes... anyone have any ideas?

What do you mean by "cream cakes?"

[RaineH]

Like layer cakes and such, creampuffs..

[Wyogal]

does he like coffee? how about a mocha torte? Chocolate/coffee sponge cake layers with a chocolate buttercream, garnished with chocolate covered coffee beans.
as for cream puffs, well they are good, but not sure why you include those in your description of "cream cakes."

I've made this many times, using Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate for the filling. It's fantastic.
