what do the candles on a birthday cake represent
Birthday cake The birthday cake is often decorated with small candles, secured with special holders or simply pressed down into the cake. The cake can also be served with other sweets such as ice cream. In the UK, North America and Australia, the number of candles is equal to the age of the individual whose birthday it is, sometimes with one extra for luck. Traditionally, the person whose birthday it is makes a wish, which is thought to come true if all the candles are extinguished in a single breath.
New Orleans Baby Cakes The Zephyrs announced a plan to rebrand for the 2017 season. A "name the team" contest was held in search of a new team name to be accompanied by new logos and a color scheme by Brandiose.[7] The seven finalist monikers were Baby Cakes, Crawfish, King Cakes, Night Owls, Poâ€™boys, Red Eyes, and Tailgators.[8] On November 15, the team unveiled Baby Cakes as the new team name and purple, green, and gold as the new team colors, as well as a unique promotion to promote the name: any child born in the state of Louisiana during 2017 is eligible for a lifetime pass to Baby Cakes games, and will be entered into a raffle wherein the winner will receive a full four-year tuition to a state college in Louisiana upon their 18th birthday in 2035.[9][10]
