Did you know these six sweet facts about modern-day birthday cakes.
1. The first slice of your birthday cake in Mexico must be given to the person you love the most.
2. Koreans have a different version of birthday cake called tteok, it is a steamed rice cake with various stuffing and is usually served with Korean seaweed soup.
3. Traditional Danish birthday cakes are in the shape of the person having the birthday and are called “Kagemand” for a cake man and “Kagekone” for a cake woman.
4. Mawa cake is a traditional birthday cake in India made out of milk and nuts and is considered to make the birthday celebrant extra special because it takes a long time and effort to make.
5. A Revani is a gooey birthday cake famous in Greece and Turkey, which is made of lemon and semolina with a thin layer of orange syrup on top that gives it a sweet flavour.
6. The iconic Jewish birthday cake is known as ugat yomledet, a chocolatey, moist sponge cake with lots of frosting or whipped cream on top, and it must be eaten with milk or dunked in it like an Oreo.
Celebrating a birthday may vary from country to country; however, there comes a similarity – cakes on birthdays.

Gracias por la receta . Te mando un beso.
I would like to have a slice of this cake.
The chocolate cake looks incredible!
It is lovely that birthdays in so many cultures are celebrated with cake.
It was something I haven't thought about, however, it's interesting.
Down here many people have mud cakes which I don't care for...a fruit cake is what I prefer.
The cake looks delicious, I love chocolate.
Take care, enjoy your day!
Chocolate cake is always welcome here! :-)
That cake has to be tasty, chocolate is my weak point although when I have been eating regularly for a while I regret it.
Best regards.
Deve de ser delicioso.
Um abraço e boa semana.

Interesting birthday traditions around the world.
My son, my husband and my nephew all celebrate birthdays in September. We celebrated my husband's birthday with a dinner with friends, but I didn't bake a cake.
This chocolate cake looks delicious, will save the recipe :) Thanks Jan
Nice to read about the birthday cake facts.
Chocolate is my favorite!!!
Isn't that interesting all the different ways people celebrate, I would hate to have to pick who gets the first slice if I have a roomful of people I love!
so neat that the cake is one thing in common!
Love chocolate cake, it's the best.
You had me at chocolate! Gorgeous, too.
