Birthday cake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A birthday cake in Western culture is a pastry or dessert served to a person on his or her birthday, sometimes decorated with the person's name and/or a message of congratulations. Tradition holds that the person with the birthday can make a wish, which will come true if all the candles can be blown out in one breath. Birthday cakes are usually sponge cakes, although many other designs can be used. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Birthday_cake   (251 words)

Birthday - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Birthday celebrations were rare during the Middle Ages, but saw a resurgence with the advent of the Reformation. Except in the case of young children, it is also very common for the "birthday boy" or "birthday girl" to cut the initial piece of the cake like the couple does with a wedding cake. The birthdays of historically significant people, like Jesus Christ, the Prophet Muhammad, or the father of the fatherland, are often commemorated by an official holiday, some saints are remembered by a liturgical feast (sometimes on a presumed birthday). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Birthday   (2064 words)

Can a "Real" Birthday Cake be Vegan? -- The Vegetarian Resource Group That is, until the day that little Janey comes home and announces that she wants a "real" cake for her birthday party with her fourth-grade friends. Birthday or not, when we buy eggs and dairy products we are supporting the slaughter and suffering which inevitably accompany these animal industries. If, however, you are dealing with a reluctant child (or grow-up child) to whom "birthday" means cake and "cake" means only one thing upholding your pristine principles may lead to resentment and anger. www.vrg.org /recipes/vegancakes.htm   (1128 words)

Berkeley Parents Network: Birthday Cakes I made a lion cake for my daughter's birthday and it turned out well -- in fact, if you mention the word 'birthday' in her presence, she announces with great excitement, ''I had a lion cake!'' It was a round layer cake with yellow frosting. Or, stack the bowl-shaped cake on top of a regular round cake layer, frost, and then decorate with icing (with the tentacles drawn down the sides, as if the octopus were sitting on top of a rock or something). A friend of mine usually makes a basic (cake mix/canned icing) sheet cake and tops it with a toy related to the party theme; i.e., for her son's pirate party, she bought a little pirate toy set with plastic people, pirate ship, and treasure chest. parents.berkeley.edu /advice/birthdays/cake.html   (8163 words)

The birthday cake was only one layer, was a basic rectangle, and only had the one corner 'slice' was removable (to show the yellow cake beneath). The top was decorated with a few colored 1x1 plates, the 'Happy Birthday' was spelled with dark red plates, while the woman's name was spelled with medium/light blue plates. www.ericharshbarger.org /lego/birthday_cake.html   (226 words)

Birthday Castle Cake - Desserts This chocolate cake recipe is terrific as a snacking cake or the perfect end to a great meal. Birthday cakes are especially fun to make when you know it will delight a young child.

The Cake Birthday This year, it's cake: appetizer cake, sushi cake, cake cake, and ice cream cake was my plan, and when Jef, Debbie, and Valentina joined us the Saturday after my actual birthday, that's exactly what they received. We moved on to dessert cakes: Jef brought a jello cake, I made a Coca-cola chocolate cake with Coke in the cake and the frosting, marshmallows (organic!) in the cake, and walnuts on the top, and I made an ice cream cake served with whipped cream and raspberry sauce. Jef explains his jello cake to an impressed Valentina: he used "all the blue jello in the store," a total of the twelve packs, and oranges, cherries, pears, peaches, and pineapple rings. homepage.mac.com /crmichaud/04bdycakes/04bdycakes.html   (468 words)

Dog Bone Birthday Cake something to set the cake on -- we made our own cake board by duct taping sheets of thick cardboard together (we used box lids for this) -- this was daddy's part of the process. If your cake has a bulging center, trim it a bit so it's flat on top (this shouldn't be a huge problem in the 9x13 rectangular pans...

Homemade cake is icing on birthday festivities Food historians are split on who deserves credit for inventing the birthday cake. Festively decorated cakes are mandatory for birthday celebrations for babies to centenarians and, at times, pets. Buying a birthday cake is perfectly acceptable, but making one from scratch "says just how important the birthday person is to you," Sullivan said. www.azcentral.com /arizonarepublic/food/articles/0810cake0810.html   (414 words)

Halfbakery: Bonsai Birthday Cake So I propose the Bonsai Birthday Cake as an alternative: just as attractive, but no maintenance beyond a cycle through the dishwasher for the plates and forks afterwards. Suffice it to say that the soil is rich chocolate cake with a crumbled top and candy pebbles, the tree marzipan and sugar, and optionally the pot made out of icing. By the way, a "Banzai" birthday cake would have to be delivered by a Ninja who leaps through the window, throws the cake in the air, and slices it into neat segments with a whirling Katana, each piece landing neatly on a guest's plate, candles still burning. www.halfbakery.com /idea/Bonsai_20Birthday_20Cake   (798 words)

theyrecoming - Pumpkinfest 2003   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) The plan was for each organ to be made out of a different kind of cake and to secrete a different color of fluid when it was cut into. Sadly, the organs didn't bleed as well as I had hoped when I cut the cake, as each organ was relatively small and couldn't hold much sauce. The fondant is easy to roll out and wrap around the cake and very easy to paint but it doesn't hold sculptural detail as well as modelling chocolate. www.theyrecoming.com /extras/pumpkinfest03   (427 words)

Hello Kitty Birthday Cake This is actually an easy cake to do freehand (without the template) It's just a big oval with a couple of ears. Arrange the cake on a covered board (we used our cutting board and just covered it with tinfoil). Spread white icing on the cake (I've read that you're supposed to do the sides first, but I always start with the top). www.dltk-kids.com /crafts/cartoons/hellokitty/cake.htm   (609 words)

The Food Timeline: cake history notes How this chocolate cake came to be called devil's food no one knows alothough it may have been a play on opposites: it was as dark and rich as angel food was light an airy...In the early 1900s there were a number of bizarre variations on Devils Food Cake. Cakes were eaten to celebrate birthdays long before they were called "birthday cakes." Food historians confirm ancient bakers made cakes (and specially shaped breads) to mark births, weddings, funerals, harvest celebrations, religious observances, and other significant events. For desserts, women generally baked cake in square pans or "in sheets" and served it in cut squares on cake plates or in pierced-silver cake baskets...Much grander party cakes were required for this new age, and they promptly materialized. www.foodtimeline.org /foodcakes.html   (17192 words)

Yoshiro: Shiba Inu: Happy 1st Birthday, Tsuki! Mom got the recipe from the internet, had a veterinarian review it, and then made some changes based on what the doctor said (basically, she removed some dairy products and honey that might have upset our stomachs). If you're using a cake pan, you may want to use one that's on the small side, as the cake does not rise significantly.
