I was just thinking the other day that the first week of March will be full of birthday celebrations if everyone I knew threw a party for themselves. My grandfather would have his on the 1st, my cousin's daughter on the 2nd, Airol on the 4th, Ai Li would have her's today. Thank goodness that birthday parties aren't really a big thing once we're done with our 21st. Most of us tend to leave the country now to get away from any birthday surprises and having the birthday song sung by everyone in the village.
The one thing that could possibly be good for anyone celebrating their birthday these days might be the cupcake trend. One could choose a birthday cake big enough for one, therefore not having to force everyone else to from the same big cake, with the same flavor that might not be to everyone's liking. Another way is to choose a few different flavours, blow out a candle on our favourite flavour, and let everyone else decide what they would like to eat. With most cupcakes being about 4 mouthfuls, these go down without making one feel full of buttercream.
Now I feel like trying to make my own cupcakes, but first, I'll just eat a few on behalf of the birthdays these week. Oom Nom Nom!
