Birthday cake

A birthday cake is a cake served to a person on his or her birthday. A birthday cake is often decorated with small candles. Human tradition holds that the person with the birthday may make a wish, which will come true if all the candles can be blown out in one breath.

On September 1, 2151, the crew of the Enterprise threw Malcolm Reed a birthday party complete with a pineapple birthday cake. 

For Kes' second birthday in 2371, the USS Voyager crew threw a surprise party for her. Neelix made a seven layer Jimbalian fudge birthday cake with l'maki nut icing and punch. 

In 2373, Miles O'Brien's birthday celebration included a birthday cake which was actually made by a Pah-wraith which was possessing his wife, Keiko, at the time. 

In 2376, Janeway had to search the databanks for hours on end, but eventually found Lieutenant Commander Tuvok's birthday, and replicated him a cake with a candle on it. He claimed that this was a Human tradition, and Vulcans do not "blow out candles." In the end, he blew it out, claiming that "it was a fire hazard."
