Greeks and Romans baked sweet honey cakes, wheat flour, honey and sweet oils- for birthdays and as sacrifices at temples.
Germans in the Middle Ages used a sweetened bread dough in the shape of the baby Jesus in swaddling clothes. English people like to bake treasures into their cakes, where the person who gets the piece with the doll, coin, thimble, is lucky.
Birthday candles originally were placed on cakes to bring birthday wishes up to God. In ancient times, people prayed over the flames of an open fire. They believed that the smoke carried their thoughts up to the gods. Today, we believe, that if you blow out all your candles in one breath, your wish will come true.

this tradition isn't that old, actually. mostly western culture practices it. The "Happy birthday to you" song wasn't even popular until early 1990's.
But practically, when it is someone's birthday, we like to celebrate. What do we do when we celebrate? we eat. What tastes really good? sweets. What kind of sweet can feed alot of people? cake.
mmmmmmm cake...

why not? cake is muy bueno, you can share it and take it with you. freeze it re-gift it. eat it for breakfast. save it until you have more ice cream. the question is not "why at birthdays" but "why not at more holidays"!
