I wonder why does children always have a cake every time when they celebrating their birthday's. I really don't have any idea about this because when i was young i haven't experience having a birthday cake, does anyone can answer me?

It's because tradition dictates that children get to blow their birthday cake. For those who want variety on celebrating birthdays here is good site http://www.gifti.us

Thanks a good question. I dont know either why there's always a cake on birthdays. Maybe it's just the right place to put a candle and make a wish on your birthday. I experienced having a cake on my birthday when I was very young. But when I got highschool I dont remember having a cake it on my birthday.
