bday and no Gifts !!poor me.
FYI: My second Bday comes in March.. all please come with

Nevertheless I had a good time with the cake and hope to
celebrate many more such birthday with my loved ones !!
Why do people cut cake
on Birthday .?
Some
historians think that the custom of the birthday cake was observed in ancient
Greece, and they report that the birthday cake began with the Greeks who used
to make honey cakes or bread. Ancient Romans celebrated three different types
of birthdays: Private celebrations among family and friends, the birthdays of
cities and temples, and the birthdays of past and present emperors or members
of the imperial family. The 50th year was celebrated with a honey cake made of
wheat flour, grated cheese, honey, and olive oil.
Others contend that the Birthday Cake tradition was started in Germany in the Middle Ages where a sweetened bread dough was made in the shape of the baby Jesus in swaddling clothes and were used to commemorate his birthday. The Birthday Cake later re-emerged in Germany as a kinderfest, or a birthday celebration for a young child.
In England, birthday cakes are baked with symbolic objects inside. In medieval times, objects such as coins and thimbles were mixed into the batter. People believed that the person who got the coin would be wealthy, while the unlucky finder of the thimble would never marry. Today, small figures, fake coins and small candies are more common.
Birthday candles originally were placed on cakes to bring birthday wishes up to God. In ancient times, people prayed over the flames of an open fire. They believed that the smoke carried their thoughts up to the gods. Today, we believe, that if you blow out all your candles in one breath, your wish will come true.
