Birthday Cake

 


Today – just like every other day – there are at least 15 million people celebrating their birthdays.

More people have birthdays in August than in any other month.

"Happy Birthday to You" is the most popular song in the English language (followed by Auld Lang Syne and For He's a Jolly Good Fellow).

Once upon a time, only royalty had birthday parties. No one else was considered important enough to be celebrated.

Germans invented the birthday cake about 200 years ago. Originally, these cakes were sweetened bread dough topped with sugar.

The biggest birthday cake in the world was created in 1989 for the 100th birthday of Fort Payne Alabama. It weighed 128,238 pounds, 8 ounces and carried 16,000 pounds of frosting.

The world's most expensive birthday party cost more than 27 million dollars. It was on July 13, 1996 for the 50th birthday of the Sultan of Brunei.
