Happy Birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you! Happy Birthday to (insert name)! Happy birthday to you!
I love celebrating birthdays especially mine. It’s such an exciting celebration
to have with friends and families. Every year on my birthday, it’s a tradition
that we spend a night in a hotel with the relatives just to hang out and have
fun. It’s just perfect timing because it’s held over Christmas break and all
the family is around to celebrate. We have been doing this tradition for about
10 years now. And every year it gets better and better.
It’s not
a party without a birthday cake! Whenever we have a family gathering and a
birthday is included, either my grandma or my mom will make an angel food cake
to help celebrate. I’ve lost count of the number of cakes my mom has made just
for family celebrations. When we’re all together for Christmas, we take time to
celebrate all the December birthdays by having all of the 14 December birthdays
sit around a cake while the others sing happy birthday to us.
Not only
do we celebrate our birthdays with family, but we also celebrate with friends.
Throughout the past years of my friend birthday parties, we would try different
styles of cakes to find the perfect one. It first started with my mom making a
cake herself, then to an ice cream cake, next would be a regular store bought
cake, then back to my mom’s baking, and now it’s at a cookie cake. Cookie cake
is my absolute favorite kind of cake especially when the cookie is doughy on
the inside. I finally found a type of cake that I can’t get enough of.
Another
thing that makes a cake special is the icing or design on it especially when it
comes to younger kids. Children have a bigger creativity and imagination which
includes princesses, cartoons, etc. Kids tend to remember birthdays with a
little extra design to the cake. For an example, I remember some of the designs
I’ve had on my cake before including a Hannah Montana, Chicken Little, a soccer
ball, flowers, and a SpongeBob. Themes make it 10 times better!
And
finally, what’s a cake with no candles! With no candles, that means the
birthday girl/boy doesn’t have anything to blow out and make a wish with. The
most common ones you could use are the original candles, the ones that are
numbers, or even the tricksters’ one that takes forever to blow out. No matter
what the age is, you always need at least one candle to top it all off so you
have a chance of your wish coming true.
From an
ice cream cake, to a cookie cake, or even to your mom’s own homemade cake, the
cake is one of the best parts of a celebration. So next time you’re at a big
party or celebration, make sure you get a piece of that delicious cake!
