Why do you blow out candles on a birthday cake?

Updated: 9/27/2023

You blow out candles on a birthday cake because, before you blow them out, you make a wish, and if you blow them all out in one try, your wish comes true. I've had experience!

That, plus it is easier to cut the cake if the candles are not burning.
