The first cakes are believed to have been prepared by the Ancient Greeks who baked round or moon shaped cakes or bread sweetened with honey to symbolize the moon. They topped the cakes with candles to please Artemis, the Moon Goddess.

However, it was not until the 15th century that the Germans celebrated the first modern day birthday celebration of kids with a cake. Cakes during this time were still coarse, bread-like and not as sweet as the present day cakes.

Blowing Out Birthday Candles on a Cake

Candles on a birthday cake is an age-old tradition. The Ancient Greeks burnt candles as offerings to their Gods and Goddesses. They placed lit candles on top of cakes to represent the reflected moonlight and also with the belief that smoke from the candles would carry their prayers up to the Gods.

The Germans topped their children’s birthday cake with one candle for each year of the child’s life plus one more in the hope of the child living another year. They also involved blowing out the candles after making a wish, a tradition that still carries on till date.

Although with today’s concern about health & hygiene, a better option would be to avoid blowing the candles on a cake. Research suggests that when we blow out candles on a cake, the bacteria on the surface of the cake multiply an average of 14 times, which is quite avoidable if we simply use other ways to spread the warmth on our birthdays like rubbing our palms, a new ritual kickstarted by WarmOven in the pandemic year 2020.

I have had 2 instances of completely rude and disrespectful behaviour from the staff at the Bandra branch of Dessert Therapy.

We were not able to sit comfortably which is why we decided to wait near the door for a table to get free. When a 4 seater table got free, we asked the waiter to let us sit there but he said since it is a 4 seater table and we were just 2 he won’t allow us to sit there. So our options were either to sit on the uncomfortable tiny table or just leave the place. I also requested him to let us sit on the 4 seater table for the time being, in case a larger party arrives we will move to the swing by the door but he refused very rudely
2. I was at the counter asking if a certain cheesecake or pancake was available at that time, and the person at the counter rolled his eyes and asked me “ Do you even know the difference between a cheesecake and a pancake?!” I have no clue where that question came from but I was so taken aback by the rudeness that it took me some seconds to decide if I should go ahead with the order or just leave They might have some great desserts but there is no way I would recommend this place to anyone because of their...
