Birthday Cake(s)

So, my birthday is tomorrow, and it falls to me (now that I'm away from my mother cum birthday-cake-baker in college) to bake my birthday cake. Not that I'm excited or anything, but I've recently been scouring marthastewart.com and my cookbooks for inspiration. I think I've settled on two frontrunners:

Flourless Carrot Cake

and

London Cheesecake

Surprisingly, no death by chocolate this year - maybe.

Which one looks better to you?
