Cake holds a deep symbolic meaning in birthday celebrations. It represents the joy and sweetness of life, and blowing out the candles is seen as a way to make a wish for the upcoming year. The act of cutting and sharing the cake with loved ones also symbolizes sharing happiness and good fortune.
Cake, like all good things, should be enjoyed in moderation. But research has shown that eating cake can actually be beneficial for our health, as it provides certain nutrients and can boost our mood.
Lots of sugar, butter, processed, bleached white flour. Empty calories, no nutrition. Use cake only for a dessert—a treat, not everyday.
