APRIL BIRTHDAYS AND CAKE

Birthdays are fun because there is always cake and goodies. A time to celebrate the life of the person- big and small! Even if not a big event as long as there is cake, well then it is a festive time. Children love gathering around their cake with the lit candles to be able to blow them out. The Happy Birthday song! And how old are you? The favourites. So what is the history of the birthday cake! Perhaps I will do some sleuthing to find out!

LIFE IS LIKE A BIRTHDAY CAKE

Life is like a birthday cake. Comes in various flavours like chocolate, vanilla or lemon. It can be decorative with lots of icing. Even some superheroes can be on top! People sing to you! You get to blow out the candles! The biggest piece can be yours! In life you can not only have your own cake and eat it too but you can share in other people's cakes! Most of us like to share our cakes with other people-less calories and more fun! How is your cake of life going today?

NANA SAYS BIRTHDAY CAKE IS FOR CHILDREN OF ALL AGES

The one celebration that is universal is the birthday! Everyone has one. It is a time where the individual has a special day and is honoured. At a recent reunion lunch, one of the teachers in the group was commenting how one of her students did not remember ever having a birthday cake. She makes an effort to try to celebrate her students' birthdays and felt she was becoming broke buying cakes for them.
Imagine not being able to celebrate with a simple cake! Of course, there are many places in the world where one meal a day is the norm. Children everywhere need and deserve the opportunity to celebrate and eat! For the adults-celebrating the milestone birthdays in a special way has become customary!
Birthdays need to be celebrated as a reflection of the blessing that we reached another age. Another year has occurred! For the little ones it will create family memories! Lots of photos with the child blowing out the candles is something in everyone's collection of pictures!

Cake- chocolate or vanilla, cupcake or slab style, lots of icing is always enjoyable! Of course today, I have a little grandson celebrating #4! Number four, you're a sweetheart we adore! Number 84, here's to lots more! Are you going to be celebrating someone's birthday today? Do you love the birthday cake and all the hoopla?
