Pie can't compete with cake. put candles in a cake, it's a birthday cake. put candles in a pie, someone's drunk in the kitchen.

The first memory i have, anyway, i guess - i think it was my second birthday and the cake came out with the candles and i was very excited and i was, like, "oh! a cake!" and then my cousin blew out the candles. i was so disappointed. it just broke my heart. and so that's stamped in my brain.

There was a table laid with jellies and trifles, with a party hat beside each place, and a birthday cake with seven candles on it in the center of the table. the cake had a book drawn on it, in icing. my mother, who had organized the party, told me that the lady at the bakery said that they had never put a book on a birthday cake before, and that mostly for boys it was footballs or spaceships. i was their first book.

People associate long hair with drug use. i wish people associated long hair with something other than drug use, like an extreme longing for cake. and then strangers would see a long haired guy and say, "that guy eats cake!" "he is on bundt cake!" mothers saying to their daughters, "don't bring the cake eater over here anymore. he smells like flour. did you see how excited he got when he found out your birthday was fast approaching?"

Uriah drops his tray next to me. it is loaded with beef stew and chocolate cake. i stare at the cake pile. “there was cake?” i say, looking at my own plate, which is more sensibly stocked than uriah’s. “yeah, someone just brought it out. found a couple boxes of the mix in the back and baked it,” he says. “you can have a few bites of mine.” “a few bites? so you’re planning on eating that mountain of cake by yourself?” “yes.” he looks confused. “why?” “never mind.

I don't like the whole blowing the candles out ritual... blowing their germs all over the cake. if i want to catch something on my birthday. i don't want it to be from the cake. if you know what i'm saying.
