History behind cutting cake on birthday

It is believed that actual and first birthday cake was made in the Middle age in the country Germany, they started cutting the cakes on their child’s birthday and started calling it Kinderfest. Cakes originally were a round and flat thing made from flour, sugar, milk and chocolate but later as we moved further towards modernization now there are endless flavours, designs and variety of cakes available. Further, in the 17th Century, they started adding icing, layers and decorations to it to make the cakes look more special for the special occasion. During this time, there were just a couple of bakeries who had the expert chefs to make cakes and even the cake making utensils were not easily available, but later with the rise in the demand for cakes, most of the bakeries started making cakes and the utensils were even made easily available. Now, the theory behind adding candles to the cake before cutting it came from the period of ancient Greece, the round cakes were made to depict the moon and candles were added to impress the goddess of moon, the lighted candles represented the shine of the moon and the smoke carried the prayers and wishes to the God who lived in skies. The number of candles represents the age of the person and the candles are placed to supposedly add light to the life.

At present, many of the western countries start any occasion with a cake cutting ceremony as they believe this is a good start. Also, if talks to be believed, while blowing the candles if one makes a wish and never tells anyone, the wish gets granted by God. There are a lot more fun facts about cutting cakes and blowing candles, but what makes it fun the wonderful cakes that we receive on our birthdays.
