Birthday cake is a right for a boy turning one. And he thinks it is "Yum". First Mommy put his birthday number 1 shirt on him, then his birthday crown. He didn't appreciate the crown much, but when she set a cupcake in front of him with a burning candle, it got his attention. His serious look became one of hunger when the fire was gone and the cake took center stage. He started with one finger. Stuck it in the icing and then his mouth. "Yum" and then more yum, yum, yum and soon he dove into it with his whole hand. That is the tradition. Baby gets to enjoy his birthday cake without any inhibitions. He sure looked happy.
Someday he will learn you can't have your cake and eat it too. Although it seems many of us have still to learn. We think we can spend, spend, spend and still have plenty. Sorry to say it doesn't work that way.
