JudismphD: Thread like this diminishes one's intellectual nourishments rather than add nutrients to it. The laxity and laziness to make scientific research, post findings for all to swallow and add value become extremely difficult rather than asking jamb questions over and over again, and the mod who share such shambolic cyncism keep posting them! Why is car moving on the road? Why are women with two breast? football played in a stadium? water in the river? Blah blah blah, Catholicity of theories are associated with lighting candles on the cake. This could be traced to the ancient Romans WHERE CANDLE WERE LIT TO MAKE THE CELEBRANT GLOW LIKE THE MOON, a popular symbol associated with artemis. Secondly, some school of thought vehemently believe SMOKES EMANATING FROM CANDLE CARRY THEIR PRAYERS AND WISHES TO HEAVEN, while other theoriest attributed it to LUDWIG VON ZINZINDORF of Germany philosophical disposition in 1746, too numerous a reason.
since threads like this 'diminishes one's intellectual nourishments rather than add nutrients to it' why did you comment? Your brain could get malnourished o. I however think you just want to show off with your 'cut and paste' explanation.

iwonbaoko: Even more annoying is the Nigerian expression "what's the essence?" people should open a dictionary and check the meaning of the word; "ESSENCE" . Please stop saying " What's the essence?" if you don't know what it means. It is NOT a synonym for "purpose" or "reason"
All these karosin people sef ! anyway wetin conzyn OP with cake and candle ? People who say things like "what's the essence?" seldom eat cake and certainly NEVER have candles on cakes

And yet you didn't state what synonym the word essence has bro.
