AN ANCIENT GREEK TRADITION IS TO PLACE CANDLES ON CAKES.
True. The Greeks of old would bring a cake with candles on it. To the temple of Artemis, the Goddess of the Hunt and the Moon stood in for the glistening moon.
As each candle stood for a year that had passed, it wasn't until the 1700s that it started to become a birthday custom.
