Betty the Birthday Cake

6 min 52 sec

Betty was no ordinary cake.
She was a towering vanilla cloud with strawberry swirls that shimmered like dawn.

Ten candles crowned her top, each one glowing with tiny sparks that hummed like happy bees.
Every child who visited the bakery window pressed their noses against the glass and whispered, “She’s magical.”

Betty heard them, and she smiled in her own sweet way, for she knew that when the right moment arrived her candles would grant wishes brighter than any star.
Tonight the bakery felt different.

The moon painted silver stripes across the flour dusted floor, and the air smelled of warm sugar and dreams.
Mr.

Pip, the baker with floury eyebrows, carried Betty to a table set with paper hats and balloons shaped like rabbits.
“You are the guest of honor tonight,” he said, though he did not know why.

Betty quivered with anticipation.
She felt the wishes inside her candles begin to dance.

Outside, the town clock chimed eight times.
A shy girl named Lily peeked through the doorway, clutching a crumpled invitation that she had found tucked beneath her pillow that morning.

The ink on the invitation smelled like vanilla.
Lily stepped inside, eyes wide.

Betty’s candles flickered in greeting.
Lily did not know that this party was meant only for her, a gift from the cake who believed every lonely heart deserved song.

Mr.
Pip began to hum, and the balloons bobbed in rhythm.

Betty glowed brighter, waiting for the first wish to rise.
Lily approached the cake, cheeks pink with wonder.

She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and blew gently across the candles.
The flames twisted into tiny silver birds that fluttered above Betty, singing notes of hope.

The first wish drifted upward, a shimmering bubble carrying Lily’s secret desire to have a friend who understood her quiet ways.
The bubble popped, releasing sparkles that settled on Lily’s shoulders like soft snow.

Instantly, the room filled with the scent of summer peaches, and a gentle voice whispered, “Wish granted.”
Betty felt joy rise within her layers.

The second wish soared next, a swirl of lavender light that carried Lily’s hope to find courage to speak her stories aloud.
The candles dimmed, then brightened, casting shadows shaped like open books across the walls.

Lily felt her heart grow lighter, as if words inside her were lining up politely, ready to be spoken.
Betty’s frosting shimmered, reflecting the girl’s growing smile.

Mr.
Pip placed a paper crown on Lily’s head, and the balloons clapped their strings together in applause.

The third wish emerged as a tiny comet, golden and swift.
It carried Lily’s longing to see her grandmother again, even though Grandma lived far beyond the hills.

The comet zipped through the ceiling, returning seconds later with a silver thread that tied itself around Lily’s wrist.
At the other end, Grandma’s gentle tug could be felt, promising that love stretched farther than any map.

Betty’s candles blazed with triumph.
The fourth wish was a gentle breeze that smelled of pine forests.

Lily wished for the courage to climb the old oak in her yard and build a secret treehouse.
The breeze curled around her shoes, tying invisible laces of strength.

Betty felt her layers tingle as the magic worked.
The fifth wish sparkled like seafoam, carrying Lily’s dream to sing without fear.

The foam burst into tiny shells that landed on her lips, humming lullabies her mother once sang.
Lily sang softly, and the bakery mirrors reflected a rainbow of sound.

Betty’s candles wept happy tears of wax that smelled like caramel.
The sixth wish twirled like a ballerina, pink and graceful.

Lily wished for her drawings to leap off pages and dance around her room.
The candles sent out ribbons that lifted her sketches into the air, and paper butterflies fluttered near the ceiling lights.

Betty’s heart swelled, for she loved seeing dreams take flight.
The seventh wish glowed emerald, carrying Lily’s hope to grow a garden that never wilted.

Tiny seeds drifted from Betty’s base, landing in Lily’s pockets, promising blooms that would greet her every morning.
The eighth wish rang like a bell, silver and clear.

Lily wished for the stars to rearrange themselves into the shape of her initials on her next birthday.
The candles nodded, and outside the window a constellation winked in agreement.

Betty felt proud to host such wonder.
The ninth wish shimmered like moonlit water, carrying Lily’s desire to understand the language of cats.

A gentle purr vibrated from Betty’s layers, and suddenly every neighborhood tabby gathered at the bakery door, meowing tales of rooftops and fish markets.
Lily laughed, and Betty’s candles flickered in rhythm.

The tenth wish rose last, a gentle white dove carrying Lily’s biggest secret: she wished to believe in her own magic.
The dove circled Betty three times, then nestled into Lily’s hair, becoming a tiny silver clip shaped like a star.

Betty’s candles burned low, satisfied.
The magic complete, the cake shimmered once more, then settled into a humble dessert waiting to be shared.

Lily opened her eyes, cheeks flushed with joy.
She hugged Mr.

Pip, thanked Betty with a whisper, and promised to return every year.
Betty’s candles dimmed to soft nightlights, guiding Lily home.

The next morning, the bakery opened as usual, but Betty was gone, leaving only a faint scent of vanilla and a note written in caramel: “Every wish you need already lives inside you.
Love, Betty.”

Lily carried that truth like a lantern, and every birthday after, she baked a small cupcake, placed ten candles, and granted wishes for others, because Betty had taught her that magic grows when shared.
Years later, when Lily was tall and her laughter bright, she opened a bakery of her own.

She baked cakes shaped like clouds, and every child who visited pressed their noses to the window and whispered, “They’re magical.”
Lily smiled, knowing Betty’s secret still sparkled in every sweet breath of wonder.
