Do you put birthday candles in your Cake?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 89/100. dgraphicrookie (203) 2 years ago

When once celebrates birthday, typically, he/she definitely has cake... its been a custom to put the number of candles corresponding to one's age...

But after that, candles are just left behind as the cake is sliced and eaten.

Just out of curiosity, do you ever put candles on your birthday cake?

Growing up my parents would do that, but now that I'm older I don't typically get birthday cake. I may get a sweet treet once and a while, but I don't typically put candles on it. Last one I had I couldn't if I wanted to, it was too soft for that.

But, I remember I used to do that.

Not now I dont. When I was little yes but I dont think its as important unless you are having a party because it looks nice to have all the candles lit and the lights out. For the past couple of years I havent had a birthday cake at all.

It happened when I was young. The last time I celebrated my birthday with cake (and candles) were when I was six. After that I don't have cakes, or candles. So when I grew older, I didn't put candles anymore. But it will be fun if I can do it once again, right? Ah, I miss that time...

Yes I do!But at my age even 1 candle would do as long as I can wish before blowing it.

I always put candles on my birthday cakes, I think it is what makes the cake itself attractive and they are fun to make a wish and try to blow them out so your wish will come true hopefully!!!happy

When I was a kid and I had birthday parties, my parents would put candles on my cake and light them. I'm 19 now, and I haven't put candles on my birthday cake for a couple years- I haven't even had an actual "cake" per se every year since. I've just had more of birthday "treats."
