Do you have cake on your birthday?

The only way I get a birthday cake is if I make my own, of course I'm 30, so people probably assume I've grown out of it. Sometimes, I'll get myself an ice cream cake, but usually not for my birthday.

Birthday cake is a tradition around here too. I always buy hubby and the kids one (they are grown) on their birthday. And they always get me one too. I have alreay requested a Strawberry cheesquake cake from Dairy Queen thisyear. We'll see if I get it!

offcourse i dont spare a cake on my birtghday no mater even a small cake but i definetly cut a cake without that my birthday is not at all complete!!and motly i prefer chocolate cakes on my birthdays with loads of icing on the top like it a bit big or atleast height wise so that a lot of number of people can have it and me too can relish it for days in the sweet memories of my birthday!!!

Last birthday I did not have a cake and never get to have a birthday party. Two years ago same thing LOL. A few years back I had a cake but not the one with the trimmings just a simple chocolate cake. I don't believe that when one grows older birthday cakes are not important or otherwise but the celebrant really is thrilled and thankful when a birthday cake is made and most of all when it's free LOL. My birthday is coming and I wish for a birthday cake with all the trimmings and candles. Cookie monster would be nice.

hi kel1483, my dear friend, i know these birthday cakes are really a tradition now a days. in our mom and pops days we use to hear as told by them, obviously, they never use to cut cakes and all that stuff on there birthdays. rather they use to enjoy being together as a big family and go out for a dinner or lunch like something, if i remember it correctly. bit now a days thiscake is a fad. everyone wanna have it, gift it, take it, cakes and cakes and cakes. i lovecake so love to eat them and bake the too. yes if someboidy gifts me i take it also, lol,:-)
i love them. i never had bought a birthday cake for my own self, ever, i dont remember. but i have bouht for everyone at my place, be it my pops, my mom, my sis, and after marriage my hubby, my in laws and now my baby, everyone. but i dont buy for me. after pregnancy, i have stopped eating also, my baby is of one and from two years when she was in womb, i have stopped eating cakes and pastries. i have gained weight . this year one of my friend sent a cake with a big bouquet of roses and a birthday card. i didnt bought and i requested my hbby also not to buy anything for me.

I used to have cakes for my birthday. Every birthday we always have my favorite chocolate cake. Now that I'm older we just go out and celebrate my birthday in restaurants.

i dont typically eat a lot of cake (i am a pie person) but i do like the cake that my mom makes for my birthday (yes she still makes me cake!) it is a double decker chocolate cake with thick icing.
when my oldest had birthday parties, we had make your own sundaes because she doesnt like cake either.

A cake is a must have for me. It's kinda a tradition. On my recent birthday, my friends bought me a cake as a present, with candle-blowing and all.
