Birthday cakes are a huge part of our lives as each and every one of us celebrates a birthday once a year, it has become tradition , ‘our universal tradition’, that we must all celebrate our annual birthdays with a cake specially to celebrate our lives. However, people do not necessarily need a cake to celebrate their birthdays in the presence of their friends and family because they can do just that even if they don’t have cake but are simply there to celebrate one’s life. People will throw parties and celebrate by eating cake but they don’t do this because they just want to have cake, they do this because they want to spend their special day with their family and friends, so an invite to a birthday party is not an invite to have cake but mostly means that person wants you to be with them on their day to celebrate their life with them.

As a vestige of the agrarian economy, mothers made birthdays cakes from scratch, mixing farm commodities (flour, sugar, butter, and eggs) that together cost mere dimes. Nowadays parents both spend money on buying a cake or buying ingredients, either way they spend money and contribute to the economy because after the cake is taken care of they will spend even more money in the party the cake will served at.
