International Women’s Day is a worldwide celebration spotlighting the vast spectrum of women’s contributions across cultural, political, and socioeconomic realms. It not only honors the strides made by women, but serves as a crucial platform for addressing pressing social issues. While International Women’s Day carries a profound significance, it also presents a wonderful opportunity to express gratitude towards the women in our lives.

*Channels my inner 50 Cent*

Go, go, go, go, go, go

Go, shorty

It’s your birthday

We gon’ party like it’s your birthday

We gon’ eat cake like it’s your birthday

And if there’s no cake, it’s really not a birthday!

…Yes, you just bore witness to the beginning and end of my rap career. And no, the name of this blog is not misleading; I am here to talk about how to celebrate birthdays in the USA (and maybe provide an ad lib along the way). As a country made up of different people from all over the world, it’s not unusual to assume that a vast amount of birthday traditions exist here. But, birthday celebrations in America are actually as universal as 50 Cent’s ‘In da Club.’ And this is a good thing! 

With certain birthday traditions being common practice in the USA, it only allows for bigger and better celebrations. Read below to learn more about how they celebrate and how you can make it even greater by sending cake and other gifts to your special someone in America.

Alex is a hopeless romantic who was supposed to be born in Italy (her dream destination), but proud to be South African nonetheless. She lives by her heart, and, consequentially, leaves a little bit of herself in everything she writes. She wholeheartedly believes that mermaids (and fairies) exist and is deadly afraid of the age ’30’.

Surprises have a unique power to bring joy and happiness to our lives. Whether it’s a birthday cake or a random act of kindness, surprises have the ability to make lasting memories. One of the best ways to elevate an unexpected gift and add an air of mystery is by anonymous delivery. It’s safe to say that anonymous cake delivery is a great way to make your gift even more thrilling and exciting. 

In this short guide, we will walk you through the art of sending cakes anonymously. We’re here to provide you with the knowledge and strategies to surprise your recipients and loved ones, both near and far.

Ah, a mouth-watering question that has divided dessert lovers for decades: why do we give birthday cake instead of birthday pie? It’s a mystery that has puzzled many pastry chefs and sugar fanatics alike. After all, pies come in all flavors and sizes, just like cakes do. And, they’re just as delicious. (Some would argue even more so.) So, why is it when it comes to birthday parties, cake always seems to…well.. take the cake? 

In this blog post, we’ll explore the history behind birthday cake and maybe even settle the debate between birthday cake and birthday pie once and for all.
