The unique originality of birthday cupcakes

Birthday parties have traditionally been celebrated with nothing less than a birthday cake and a candle to top it off. This has been the ideal birthday setting – the birth day setting whenever the cake used to be offered to the moon goddess in ancient Greece. Since advances in technology and time are dynamic, people themselves tend to change in the process. People lose control of the old tradition and tend to incorporate their own twists on holiday choices.
