I am a pie/pastry kind of person..
don't know much about cakes outside of chocolate (which of course I love) but I want some ideas..
p.s yes pix are important and I'd like ethnic things too so I can learn something.. so if you're Russian or Malaysian put your favorite regional sweet/pastry/cake type item

I am cake fan too and bake them quite often (maybe too often and risk my family to become overweighted). One my favourite is Swedish strawberry-white chocolate cheesecake:
Here is recipe too:
Bottom:
170 g unsalted butter
75 g pecans
170 g flour
1 tbsp powdered sugar
Melt the butter. Chop the nuts finely. Combine everything and spread into a buttered springform pan, lined with a round of parchment paper or cut out teflon sheet. (You can attempt to do this without lining, but I wouldn't dare.)
Bake at 175° for 22-25 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove and let cool completely in the pan.
Filling:
200 g cream cheese
300 g white chocolate
25 g sugar
500 ml (2 cups) heavy cream (35-40% fat)
Melt the chocolate. Mix sugar and cream cheese and add the chocolate to this. Beat the cream until it holds soft peaks - don't overbeat it. Fold in with the rest. Pour into the pan, and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least three hours.
Topping:
500 g strawberries
Trim the strawberries to a fairly even size, and decorate the top of the cake.
I'm not a fan of chocolate. The only cake that I really like is carrot cake:
I was looking at myself talking to myself and I realized this conversation...I was having with myself looking at myself was a conversation with myself that I needed to have with myself.

Poor sis...

We have suffered too much for too long. We will not accept apartheid masked as peace. We will settle for no less than our freedom.
I love those buttery soft rolls but I am waiting for the chocolaty things.. so much about cakes I don't know.. yesterday they were making a red velvet, I can't believe I have lived this long never having heard of it..
