My past week was populated with not just one candle-topped birthday cake, but two (or three, if you count the candled pumpkin squash that was a joke).
In the first instance, the adoring crowd around my Itty-bitty Actor sang Happy Birthday to You! and his mama offered him a piece of cake. But, this being his very first experience with the culinary requirement for parties of this sort, he only fingered it with curiosity. He didn't take a lot of interest, knowing nothing of that thing called Sugar Buzz! My other three small actors, on the other hand, having learned what to expect out of life (er, well, birthday parties, at any rate) were jumping with excitement! They gladly and gleefully helped with the unwrapping of presents, and campaigned for all the cake they could get!

Several days later, we celebrated the birthday of my Little Actor (who is getting pretty big, but will continue as my "Little Actor" until such a time as he turns down movie deals with me!) Now, this young celebrity knew the birthday protocol! Presents! Cake! We moved rapidly through the action, the Little Actor calling the shots! Of course, he was not expecting that first presentation of birthday "cake" (A birthday squash?! What crestfallen faces! All the tiny actors were appalled; was there to be no sugar-laden treat?!) Reader Dear, it was only a trick, of course! There were speedy reassurances, and, while the adults were still laughing, the candles in the yummy ice-cream cake were being lit!
