Does anyone have recent experience with SQ's birthday cake handling? By coincidence, I'll be flying in J on the day before my birthday with an arrival on my actual birthday. I wonder, if SQ still gives complementary birthday cakes? If yes, do you have to be a KF member or can anyone ask for it? And do you have to ask/request for it or is there any chance, that SQ will be notified automatically from the personal data they have? As it's only me flying on that day, it feels a bit awkward to call in and request it for myself, but it would be a nice touch to come home with a cake

Cakes have always been free, so go ahead and request it. Reports suggest that you have to be elite frequent flyer (PPS) for this to be delivered automatically on your birthday.
I actually have never called in, I just email.

Birthday cake? Gosh never knew about this!
We flew two F sectors on my birthday in 2015, SYD-SIN then SIN-NRT.
Nothing on the SYD-SIN sector but on the second sector, received a birthday card signed by entire crew including the flight deck, small cake, and teddy bear.
Me or my then fiancee did not give the crew or anyone the heads up, so not sure how they found it.

Well, of course the cake is not that important, I'm sure I won't starve if I don't get one. But I really like the gesture and it's a nice add-on perk, so why not go for it, just for the fun 
I'm flying AKL - SIN - FRA, so customs or biosecurity or whatever should not be a problem.
