Oh well, i can't quite figure it out why there seems to be a need for a cake to commemorate a birthday ...
So i googled up history of birthday cakes - whalla http://www.tokenz.com/history-of-birthday-cake.html Apparently, it was believed that the tradition of Birthday cake started in Germany in Middle Ages where sweetened bread dough was given the shape of baby Jesus in swaddling cloth and was used to commemorate his birthday. Very interesting.
The website also comments about birthday candles, here you go - read more about it http://www.tokenz.com/birthday-candles.html
Well, its really another 12 Days to Christmas (from today) ... mummy, are we getting a cake for Jesus ?
