Having a birthday cake as part of Mawlid celebrations

i don't think it's the cake itself thats a problem moresdo the cake-cutting ceremony which causes needless finger-pointing.

 

"Let them eat cake!"

 

I hope they allow cake as long as they share some with me. I love cake, lol.

 

I saw it being done at a big Mawlid Procession in New York. Shaykh Chakswari of Birmingham was in it. The video is on youtube.

 

It seems a bit much to me to have birthday cake as part of the mawlid celebrations. True that i did partkae in said cake and enjoyed eating it, but i was wondering about the concept until someone mentioned that they saw it on noor tv as well.
