The birthday cake has been an integral part of the birthday tradition in Western cultures. The cake is served to a person on his or her birthday, and is often decorated with small novelty candles, with the person’s name and/or a message of congratulations inscribed with icing. The phrase “Happy Birthday” did not appear on birthday cakes until the song Happy Birthday to You was popularized in the early 1900s.

Tradition holds that the person with the birthday may make a wish, which will come true if all the candles can be blown out in one breath. US patent 6319530 relates to a “method of photocopying an image onto an edible web for decorating iced baked goods.” This invention enables one to ink jet print a food-grade color photograph on the cake surface.

History of Birthday Cake can be traced back to the ancient Greeks who made round or moon shaped honey cakes or bread and took it to the temple of Artemis -the Goddess of Moon. Some scholars, however, believe that the tradition of Birthday cake started in Germany in middle Ages. This special birthday cake later reemerged in Germany as a Kinderfest or the birthday celebrations of a young child. Germans also baked another special kind of a cake called Geburtstagorten as it was baked in layers. This was sweeter that the coarse and bread like cake that were usually made at that time.

In earlier times, Birthday cakes were mostly round in shape. Scholars associate religious beliefs and technical compulsions for the same. Greeks offered round shape cake to the Goddess of Moon - Artemis as it signified moon. They even placed candles on the cake to make the cake glow like the moon.

Technical reason given for the roundness of the cake is that most cakes we know off advanced from the bread. In ancient times breads and cakes were made by hand. Typically, these were fashioned into round balls and baked on hearthstones or in low, shallow pans. Hence, these naturally relaxed into round shapes. With the progress of times baking pans of various shapes were developed and today we see cakes in imaginative shapes and sizes.

In medieval times people of England used to place symbolic objects like coins, rings and thimbles in the batter of the cake. It was believed that those who found coin in the cake would be wealthy while the unlucky finder of the thimble would never marry. If the cake fell while baking it was considered to be a bad omen and signified bad luck for the person in the coming year.
Thus in the midst of many superstitions and beliefs, merged the tradition of Birthday cakes which is so popular all over the world today.

It’s nice that people remember the day you were born. After all, it is a very special day. For most of us, there is always someone ready to throw a birthday party. Whether it be Mom and Dad, or darling husband or wife, or anyone else, one of the best treats on anyone’s birthday is a birthday cake with candles. Because what would a birthday be without a cake and candles for making a birthday wish?

Birthday cakes come in all shapes and sizes – round, square, layered, tiered, upside-down, and many, many more. They also come in some very unique shapes like trucks, babies, guitars, shoes, and so on. Birthday cakes can be just fun and simple or quite elegant and complex. They can be chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, mocha, a mix of all of the above, or other flavors.

Theme cakes are very popular for children’s birthdays. Harry Potter’s, Hogwarts Castle, Barbie’s, Pegasus, and Sponge Bob and Patrick are in high demand at most parties these days. Chocolate cake seems to be the favorite, followed by the classic chiffon cake. Of course, any good host will top off the birthday cake with a heaping spoon of ice cream and sprinkles and lots of love and best wishes.

Even with all the streamers, the balloons, the presents, and so on, birthday cakes remain the centerpiece. More than anything else, the birthday cake with delightfully burning candles all round it and your name in icing on the top, remains the most enduring symbol of a birthday celebration.

We cannot imagine a birthday celebration without a cake. No matter how small or big the celebration, there has to be a cake to mark the completion of another glorious year on earth. A cake is also cut to welcome many fruitful years ahead.

Today, people are preferring birthday cakes with a theme over simple, ordinary ones. Theme cakes are specially designed cakes that are made to portray something related to the theme of the birthday party. Even if you do not have any particular theme for the birthday party, you can still go for birthday cakes with themes and set the right mood.

A birthday cake with a theme also makes the birthday girl/ boy feel special. You can opt for a cake designed in a particular shape that looks like some object or something that the person likes or loves. For instance, if the birthday girl is a music aficionado, you can get a guitar shaped birthday cake. Or if he follows a certain sports passionately, you can gift him the whole field along with the right equipments designed in the cake.

With the help of the Internet and web based suppliers, now you can also get cakes of your choice ordered online.

A birthday just isn’t a birthday if the ceremony doesn’t include the most sumptuous ingredient of cakes. It doesn’t take much to figure out the reason behind the popularity of cakes as the demand for these baked delights maintain an all time high at bakeries all over the world. The scope of applying varied ingredients like fruits and chocolate make them all the more desirable, as even bigger ceremonies like weddings take the occasion to a higher level with cakes.

However, the classic ceremony that rests specifically on the wonders of cakes to add more pizazz is a birthday. Perhaps that is the reason why bakeries come up with specialised delicacies for the purpose in the form of birthday cakes. Smearing the top of a cake with wishes for the birthday person takes up a favourite part of the activity besides planting stylised candles on it.

This tradition is more often than not, observed on birthday parties of children who seem to recline in a sheer abandonment of joy and laughter along with the smudging of cake over the face of the birthday kid. The magic of cakes just doesn’t seem to wear off, and with the participation of many delicacy specialists into the league of cake making, the tempo takes on an even greater run. Lots of icing on the cake with creams of all sorts can give them an even more desirable presentation to the helplessness of the drooling onlookers.

The latest in the birthday cake bandwagon is the inclusion of the element of innovation, which sooner or later was bound to happen. With children unmistakably falling prey to the innocent gimmicks of their favourite characters, birthday cakes have started coming in various designs and shapes of cartoon characters. The resultant factor is a gleeful gathering of a frenzied group of animation lovers taking a bite of these popular cakes.

A birthday, it must be said loses all its charm in the absense of birthday cakes. There is something about cakes that one just can’t have enough of it. Especially for kids it is nothing less than a treasure. Indeed nicely decorated birthday cakes with fair sprinkling of fruits and cherries are the life and soul of birthday parties and it would not be an overstatement to say that absense of a good birthday cake actually robs the birthday of a lot of its charm.

Today, birthdays and birthday cakes have become so synonymous with each other that neither has an independent identity. The popularity of birthday cakes have forced bakeries around the world to come up with special preparation for the purpose. One common decoration that can be seen on almost all sort of birthday cakes is to get the best wishes for the birthday boy written stylishly. With candles decorated tastefully.

A little bit of innovativeness in preparation of the birthday cakes would go a long way in making the occasion memorable. For example if the child is a violin fan then it would be a very good idea to get the cake prepared in the form of a violin. This would not only bring joys to the kid but also would enliven the atmosphere. Similarly one can get the cake made in the shape of favourite characters like superman, batman, mickey mouse etc. Such types of cakes are a source of great amusement for kids and they invariably bring life to the party.

The value of birthday cakes, therefore, simply cannot be ruled out. Not only are they source of great joy for kids but also for adults. They enliven the event and bring life to birthday parties. Needless, therefore, to say that birthday parties without birthday cakes looses all their meaning.
