Elderly people's birthday cake with cranes on top is good.

If there is a crane on the cake, the main symbolism is to prolong life, and often there will be a pine tree on top, so it means that the pine and crane will prolong life, which is a very good symbolism.

The biggest difficulty in making a crane cake is to create a crane shape on the cake, but with some care, you can still make a crane cake.

Origin of the cake

Europeans in the Middle Ages believed that birthdays were the easiest time for the soul to be invaded by demons, so on birthdays, family and friends would gather around to give their blessings and send cakes to bring good luck and expel demons. The ancient Greeks celebrated birthdays by placing small, lighted candles on top of the cakes and adding a new activity - blowing out the lighted candles.

They believed that lit candles had mystical powers, and that if you made a wish in your heart and blew out all the candles in one breath, the wish would come true.
