What do you do when you’ve forgotten the cake? Well, if you realise it early enough and recognise that you’ve got no time or resources to do something about it, you can make a great comeback by providing a substitute if you’ve got a candle handy. Even though it’s not sweet, the principal of blowing out the candle remains the same, especially if you provide all the trimmings as well. The swap may even be favourable to the traditional cake and could start a new tradition for years to come. But if you’re out of candles, you’re buggered. And it might not work the same if it’s something that can’t be shared; unless it’s an older person that recognises that the company is all the better for sharing. The fact that the celebrant gets something above everyone else makes it extra special. Be sure that the wax doesn’t spill though, and that you’ve got clean cutlery to hand.
