A cake isn't necessary but is a nice way of saying "thinking about you on your birthday." To take the time to bake and decorate a cake for your loved ones on their birthday is a nice gesture of love and appreciation. Besides, you get to share it with them.

In search for answer, I got this. lol It originated in Europe, Germany or Greece. They have many stories. But a cake make the birthday more meaningful and make the celebrant feel more important.

No clue either. Well, I don't mind if the cream on the cake does taste good (some was so awful!).

That cake in the picture looks yummy! I suppose it isn't necessary but it is nice to get a cake for a person as a way of celebrating and it can be shared with friends too.

It is up to us to use cake or not. This tradition is believed to be the mixture of Ancient Egyptians and Romans with medieval times Germans.

A cake may not be necessary but if I don't get a cake on my birthday I am very disappointed!
