🎂 Let’s Talk Cake! 🎂
Did you know that the tradition of putting candles on birthday cakes started a super long time ago? It’s believed that ancient Greeks put candles on cakes to wish for good luck! They would put candles on the cake to represent the moon, and the flames were like wishes reaching the gods! 🌙✨
And what about the number of candles? Often, people put one candle for each year of their life! So, if you’re turning 5, you get 5 candles! But sometimes, people add an extra candle for good luck or to make a special wish for the future! 🌟
Cakes have been around for thousands of years, but the idea of a frosted birthday cake with candles as we know it really became popular in the 18th century. That’s when people started using ovens to bake cakes more easily, and decorations became a thing!
What’s your favorite cake flavor? Chocolate? Vanilla? Strawberry? Or maybe something totally new like bubblegum or cotton candy? The possibilities are endless when you’re coloring this cake! You can even add sprinkles in every color of the rainbow! 🌈 Don’t be afraid to get creative with this color panel and make it the most amazing birthday cake ever!
Remember to be careful with real candles, and always have a grown-up help you if you’re ever around a lit cake! Happy coloring!
