The cake in question (mostly I just want a chance for everyone to admire my beautiful cakes)

So, I thought it was extremely commonly understood etiquette that if you are at a birthday party and there is a cake, that it is a Birthday Cake and should not be cut into until Candles Are Lit and Happy Birthday Is Sung, and yet…

So here’s a hot tip that is good most times- don’t be the first to cut into something at a party unless you are told that it is okay.
