DID YOU KNOW?
The tradition of putting candles on a cake is believed to have begun with the ancient Greeks. They would offer moon-shaped cakes to Artemis, the goddess of the moon. And to symbolize the moon’s glowing light, the Greeks lit candles and placed them on the cake. As for why we blow out birthday candles and make a wish, this likely got its start in ancient times. Many cultures believed that smoke carried your thoughts and prayers to the heavens. Today, if you’re able to blow out all of the candles on your cake in one breath, it’s said the wish you make will come true. Well, it’s worth a try!
