The Birth of Birthday Cake

Hannah Nichols-Chia + Maddie Carpenter Season 1 Episode 5

In this episode, we look at the history behind one of the cakes that makes life worth it. 

As Maddie turns 22, we examine why birthday cakes became a popular tradition. From fencing away dark spirits to being consumed in the name of Artemis, Goddess of the moon and hunt. 

Join us for our celebration.
