What is so appealing about cakes, that almost all kids eat them at their birthday? Is it because creams and breads have their own merit, or it is just an advertising tactic that eventually becomes a tradition?

What we think of as "birthday cake" today is descended from the sweatbread dishes eaten at feasts and holiday celebrations in medieval Europe. Celebrating birthdays with a cake is a modern invention, however.

Kids love sweet stuff
Cakes are sweet
And you can write sutff on them, like "Happy birthday sydney" for example
