I love baking (and sharing) cake and have used all the methods you described in your post. Do I have a favorite to make? Wow, that's a hard question; but I would guess my favorite must be foam cakes - as I LOVE ANGEL FOOD! However, in reality I mostly make cakes using the creaming and/or paste methods - they seem to be a bit easier to decorate and made to look fancy/special. I appreciate the effort you put into this post helping us understand the various techniques and the differences each one brings to the table. Thanks Gwen (and King Arthur) for all your baking guidance!
