‘Happy Birthday’ is one of the most commonly used terms in the world, given that birthdays are celebrated around the globe every day. Every birthday, you hear people say, ‘Happy birthday to you’ or ‘Many more happy returns of the day.’ Cliché, most of us would say, but when we buy a cake for our loved ones on their birthday, we resort to the same birthday message on the cake- ‘Happy Birthday, dear ……’ Sigh!
With everything changing and cliché becoming passe, birthday cakes have also taken a modern turn. You can choose from a range of options when it comes to customising your cake, beginning with flavours, shapes and the appearance of the cake, you can say just about anything that you want to say. From personal messages for your loved ones to custom messages that your cake designer could suggest, the choice is endless.
There are many silly or amazing messages that you can write for people based on your relationship with them.
Parents or older relations
Parents and older relations love the fact that you have remembered their birthday and have been considerate enough to celebrate it with cake. While the sentiment holds more significance for them than the cake or the celebrations themselves, adding a heartfelt message could make their day extra memorable. Depending on the type of person you are buying the cake for, here are some silly, quirky or sentimental messages.

Siblings
You love to hate them and they have always been your closest confidantes and worst enemies. Siblings are those people that we cannot live without. Who would create and sustain all the family drama, keep your secrets, lend you money, and quarrel over the most trivial things, if not for your siblings? Old or young, your brothers and sisters have always been the ones you love the most, yet hate at times. A birthday is the best time of the year to enhance that bittersweet bond that you share with your siblings.
When you were young/little, all you wanted was a cake…now it is all you are getting!

There is always a special spark of creativity for the special man or woman in your life.

So keep the romance alive and surprise them with a cake that signifies peculiar aspects of the bond that you share, along with one of the messages given below.

Boyfriend / Girlfriend
Being in love is blissful, and birthdays are the times when you can have stolen moments together to celebrate your togetherness and create memories that you can hold on to forever. While you can find a variety of gifts to pamper the one celebrating the birthday, cakes can also go a long way towards making them smile or laugh. Although many people prefer to use romantic, sweet messages, this is also a great time to pull your boyfriend/girlfriend’s leg and create a funny moment that you will cherish for many years to come.

Friends
Friends are the family we choose to keep close to our hearts. For most people, friends come before many family members and are the ones we turn to in our times of need. We have had the most fun with our friends, and have the most memories. There is no adventure that we have not shared with our friends, and they are the ones that hold our secrets close to their hearts. Some friendships stand the test of time. Friends are those who share our sorrows, our happy moments, and the ones who tease us the most with their treasure trove of memories about our craziest deeds. So, how can a friend’s birthday cake be simple? You can spruce it up with some quirky designs with the help of cake designers like the ones at CakeBuzz, and add one of the following messages, for that extra zing.
You’re special…not just on your birthday, but every day
Human stupidity is infinite…I would never have known it if I hadn’t met you

The candles would cause global warming. So, we avoided them.,
Children
Children look forward to their birthdays and count down the months, weeks, and days. They are curious about the gifts they will receive, the theme of their party, the guests who will lavish attention on them, the games they will play, the list goes on. A cake that would be true to the theme of the party- in the shape of their favorite superheroes or cartoon characters, accompanied by cupcakes that are less messy and easier to handle, would be ideal. Nowadays, a smash cake is the most sought-after addition to birthday cake orders. A smash cake is simple- it is the one that has the candles blown out so that the bigger cake does not carry the germs and residual spit from when the kid blows out candles, and true to its name, can be smashed on the face of the birthday boy or girl.
(age) is great! Enjoy!
