Talking about sweets. I have 3 boys, now college aged men but when they were younger and had birthday parties or went to birthday parties they and I hated eating the cake after someone blew out the candles so I always made seperate cup cakes for the candle blowing so we were not eating someone elses sliva. Maby this is wierd but we all felt the same way so at lease at my house we could cut down on the sliva by having the candles on seperate cup cakes and left the birthday cake for everyone to share sliva free.
