Birthday Cake

As a matter of fact ,I have never received a cake on my birthday even when I was a kid.I hardly had memories about the cake or the birthday . It's a blank in my mind. Of course,This's not a fault of my parents.They don't attach importance to the birthday ,includint their own birthdays.What's more, our family was needy then. I had no right to enjoy cakes. However,This is lack of something to a person's life.I am eager to but or make a cake for my own childen when they are at their birthday. Maybe it's a compensation to myself

I give cakes when it is someones birthday. We usually buy one as a family and then it is shared amongst everyone. I also receive a cake/s on my birthday, usually a Pavlova (lol) so it has kind of become a tradition. But it is definitely nice to give out cakes and then perhaps receive one in return when it s your birthday:)

I totally agree with you, I used to get cakes till I was 15 years and after that no body bothered to celebrate my b'day till I got married. Now my wife makes it a point to get a cake for me every year and I feel like a kid blowing off candles. And to top it all I get good gifts from her as well!!!

My mother always shows up with a cake on my birthday. I think I'll never escape that tradition in my family.

I guess someone didn't make a birthday cake for me.. But my loved ones bought a cake for me.. The last time was my 17th birthday.. that was last summer. Cakes are not for kids only but for adults also. i know any adult would love to have a cake on their birthday! It's nice to blow candles and eat the delicious cake haha!

the last cake i had for me was when i was 5 when my mom made me a cookie monster cake with a big car on it with oreo's as wheels.... it was freakin awesome. But if were to pick if had a cake for my birthday i would choose to have one on every birthday i had. no matter how old i was, If i was you i would get a cake for everyone of those relatives even if its small it still shows thought. Good Discussion...

I had cake my last birthday and soon it will be that time again and I will probably have cake this year too. That is about the only way that the day is any different for me than usual. Sometimes people in this country (Nicaragua) get serenaded on their birthdays, early in the morning. So far, I have not been serenaded, but my husband has.

Just about 5 weeks ago! My hubby and children did a semi-surprise party for my 50th birthday! They had told me we would go out to eat and that a few couples would be joining us. Wow...lots of previous students etc were there. There was a sheet cake that had 'the grim reaper' on it and other cute gags about aging! My teen son dressed up like the grim reaper (excused himself to restroom and returned as the grim reaper!) It was a great night!!

The last time someone bought me a cake was my 18th birthday. IM 22 now. its been that long but i cant forget the cake that time because its custom-made for me from my family! I loved it!

i want to say that you re lucky,i havent have any brithday cake in the old days.but i have bught birthday cake s for the other one ,i hav bought it 's for my friends 's mother.

Usually every year my family gives me a cake. I'm very appreciative of that and never take it for granted.

Usually I'm the one who gets or makes a cake for everyone else in the family. Last year my mother-in-law supprised me and had a cake, plates and the whole thing last year when we got to their house. It was really thoughtful. My parents have passed away, so usually it falls on my husband to remember my birthday. He does a good job about this, but it was nice for someone else to go to a lot of trouble for me. I think it great to have cake. It doesn't matter what age you are. Of course any reason to have cake is good for me. lol

Every birthday, I get to have one from my family and also from my officemates. So basically, that's like 2 birthday cakes in a year for me. LOL! I think no matter how old or young you are, you are not too old to have a birthday cake. Blowing candles is just one of the blessings of having a cake, sharing it with your loved ones is the best part! =)

I'm not a very sentimental or emotional person, not really big on birthdays either, but for some reason I've always thought a homemade birthday cake was even more important than a special card. I've made a point of baking a cake for every birthday of every member of my immediate family. I also remember once in highschool, a couple of us girls baked a cake for a guy on his 18th (probably just because he was cute) anyway, he really appreciated it and said "this is the first cake anyone ever baked me" - you could see it really did mean something to him.

I can't even remember the last time someone gave me a birthday cake. I guess your right about the kid thing. We're just too old. lol

I don't think you're ever too old for birthday cake! :) I just had my 20th birthday and my mom made me a cheesecake! :) I think it's absolutely fine to give your nephew a cake. :D I'm sure (if he likes cake that is) he'll appreciate it! :D

I'm going to be 26 on the 30th of this month, and I'd still love to have a cake, however simple it may be. I think that for some people it's more the thought behind it. As for your question, I haven't had a cake in years....I can't give you exact numbers because I really don't remember the last time I had a cake.

I had a birthday cake bought for me last year. my birthday was just me and my partner but he bought me a huge slab of my favorite cake and stuck a candle in there for me to blow out. He told me I should make a very special wish, because it was a very special candle for a very special person LOL. It was so sweet I almost cried! Prior to that though I hadn't had cake in YEARS, and I'd almost forgotten the excitement of cutting into it and then eating it. There's something just so delicious about eating cake when you known it's been bought especially for you.

I think it's been ten or twelve years since I had a birthday cake but since my birthday is so very close to Thanksgiving I just make an extra dessert and consider it my birthday treat. You are NEVER too old to celebrate your birthday with a little treat.

i last had cake 15 years ago, i would love to have one. it was my hubbys birthday today and as a surprise i bought him a birthday cake, when i took it in to him, along to us all singing happy birthday and candles ablaze, he welled up. afterwards he admitted he hadnt had a cake since he was 7, to see him so touched was priceless, i say bring on the cakes for the adults.
