Let's celebrate. Cake is a traditional food for feeding hungry attendees at very special events like weddings, birthdays, etc. They become edible bulletin boards praising, admiring or teasing the honoree.

Whether they have frosting, candles, and decorations will not matter...... let's just ENJOY!!!
