shopping for birthday cakes

my brother adam turns 50 next week so i decided to send him a surprise birthday cake. sounded easy...that is until i actually looked at the various cake sites. oh my gosh, if someone rang the doorbell right now and had a cake in their hands...well let's just say it would be devoured. i have never wanted cake so badly in my life. note to self...step away from the pictures of cakes. that is some dangerous stuff.
