I, myself, demanded (demanded) a Beef Wellington with three sparklers and a large diameter Apple Spice scented candle stuck into it. I was a difficult child.
(not really.)
Even thpugh you're being facetious, you might not be far off the mark. In this era of sugar saturation, I think people big and little will start yearning for foods that don't have sugar, or have less sugar than what they're used to. Beef Wellington w/out the candle sounds good. I wish I could afford some now.
I think it was a yellow cake w/ vanilla pudding inside the layers and chocolate icing around the cake. I don't ever remember a cake mix in the house, all homemade. The pudding, too, by scratch, all of it. Looking back, that was something.
My birthday is close to (or sometime on) US Thanksgiving and we always had friends and family over for Thanksgiving when I was growing up so my mother always made me a carrot cake for my birthday because "it goes with Thanksgiving". All I ever wanted was a Baskin Robbins Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Cake (or better yet, those little ice cream clowns), but because that wasn't Thanksgivingy enough, I got carrot cake.
I'm a fully grown person now and I make my own cake. And sometimes I even buy a Baskin Robbins mint chocolate chip ice cream cake. And I always invite my parents over and we laugh about the carrot cakes that I hated!
I always felt kind of sorry for my 3 brothers, because they always wanted chocolate frosting at least, and maybe chocolate cake itself, on their birthdays, but I always wanted a white cake mix with cherry frosting. Don't get me wrong, I loved chocolate and still do -- what red-blooded American girl doesn't -- but the white/yellow cake with cherry frosting was always a special, pretty, girly thing for me.
A chocolate layer cake with chocolate buttercream frosting with candles on the top, always made from scratch by my mother.
