Festive Cake with a Single Candle

The Origin of Birthday Cake Candles
Blowing out candles on baked goods dates back to ancient Greece, where people placed lighted candles on round cakes to represent the glowing moon. In eighteenth-century Germany, single candles were lit on children's birthday cakes to symbolize the light of life. Today, candles remain a universal symbol of milestone celebrations and wishes.
