A favorite Mexican birthday tradition is “la mordida,” when the birthday girl or boy’s hands are tied behind their back and their face is shoved into the cake for them to take the first bite, while everyone around them shouts “Mordida! Mordida! Mordida!” Note that Mexican cakes, typically tres leches, are pretty creamy. “Mordida” is the Spanish word for a bribe, but this colloquial term is widely used in birthday celebrations with the connotation, “taking a bite.”
