| The birthday cake is only 200 years old. Cakes made from sweetened bread dough and coated with sugar were the first birthday cakes and they originated in Germany. It has been said that if the cake falls while baking it is a sign of bad luck in the coming year. Coins, buttons, and rings were baked into cakes - the guest who received the slice with the coin was guaranteed riches in the future, the ring signified marriage. In ancient times people prayed over the flames of an open fire. They believed that the smoke carried their thoughts up to the gods. Today we believe that if you blow out all your candles in one breath your wish will come true. The largest cake ever created weighed 128,238 pounds and 8 ounces and had 16,209 pounds of frosting. It was created in celebration of the 100th birthday of Fort Payne, Alabama and was made in the shape of Alabama.
