in china, noodles are the traditional "birthday cake" because of what they represent. (a symbol of longevity because of their length). they are called 长寿面。（changshoumian) In Mexico, there isn't a special food that is made on birthdays that i'm aware of, however, for your 15th birthday you have a quincenera. this is a huge party in which you're celebrated because of your new stage in life, the beginning stage of womanhood. In australia, they have fairy bread. India has Payesh. South Korea has seaweed soup.

Instead of a birthday cake, many families in China will have birthday noodles because they represent longevity.

In South Korea they eat Seaweed soup, Russia - Personalized pie, Australia - Fairy Bread, Netherlands - Taarties and pancakes, Sweden - Princess cake, and in Ghana - Oto.

Here is princess cake, I was curious:

Foreign Birthday Traditions

nrivas241 — 2021-03-11 20:00:24 UTC

Canada: Nose Grease

On the Atlantic side of Canada, birthday boys and girls are sometimes “ambushed” and their noses are greased, usually with butter, to ward off bad luck.

Germany: Sweeping the Streets of City Hall

When single men in Germany turn 30, an old tradition is for them to sweep the steps of their local city hall as their friends toss rubble onto them. The ordeal, meant to embarrass, is supposed to carry on until the birthday boy is able to plant one on a passing woman. Also, as this author personally found out recently, you buy the drinks for your friends on your birthday, unlike in the States where it is the other way around.

Ireland: Hit the Deck

Think the Irish had a few when coming up with this one? Tradition maintains that a child is held upside down and is “bumped” on the floor, once for every year of their age plus one for good luck.

Jamaica: Modern Day Antiquing

Just like that one friend you had in college, Jamaicans think dousing their friends with flour is fun. Regardless of age, tradition calls for the birthday boy or girl to be “antiqued,” or coated with flour, by friends and family, either at an organized party or as part of an ambush.

Mexico: The Birthday Piñata

Vietnam: Happy… New Year?

Everyone celebrates their birthday on New Year’s Day in Vietnam, a day they refer to as “tet.” Vietnamese tradition is that the actual day of birth is not to be acknowledged.

China
Chinese birthdays must be celebrated before or on the actual birth date. Belatedly celebrating a birthday is considered taboo.

I was also curious what fairy bread was:
