Cutting the birthday cake

[Anonymous]

Since pandemic, i've become skeptic of birthday cakes. Obviously, lots of sugar and lots of waste but someone blowing on cake and on top of it dozen+ mouths and noses singing, breathing, showering saliva droplets around it, makes it super unhygienic.

I think I know what you mean. Yes, there are some things my mom friends and I seem to be the ones to do: ordering kids shoes, doing the birthday party invites, serving as class moms, signing up for camps. I think yes, I have always cut the birthday cake.
(Before you chime in to say your DD always does the camp sign-up, great. But in most every conversation I've had with a mom, they are things moms usually do).

Well, when the KID becomes old enough and responsible enough, they can cut their own cake.

I get a cupcake cake from my local grocery store. The cupcakes are frosted together and the top decorated like a regular cake. After the candle blowing, you just separate the cupcakes. So easy and this allows the cake to be personalized.
