This was discussed recently but I'm on mobile so cannot find the thread.
I'll leave this open until the morning...or until the aceboy comments become tiresome!

Whats with the “I want a cake on a plane” thing? I don’t get it, really I don’t. Mind you aceboy's inputs are always highly amusing

I really don't get it either, especially if you request this yourself. If they would do this on their effort if would be a nice and attentive gesture though.

Birthday cake - I think not. this is just a still picture from a video. Look at the situation on the video and I think that the situation is much more unique than just a birthday.
This could be a new J offering or it could also be one of ABBs usual say one thing and then do almost the opposite.
This is a marketing video after all!

Forget the damn cake! If I am travelling business class I don't want to feel like someone else is getting preferential treatment.
As a customer, I want to feel like I am being treated as number one, or at least the same as my fellow business class passengers. If you want a flipping cake, go to some tacky place like Chillies or TGIF, they will also smack some pans and sing you a silly song for your personal amusement too

On my last flight from DOH to AMS the couple in front of me got a cake because the flight was delayed by 1 hour and they had a tight connection in AMS on a separate ticket.
So no need to waste your birthday in a plane and just cry a bit around :-)
