Birthday Sweets have a rather marvellous ability to make people happy. A birthday cake may be the centrepiece and presents may occupy the dining table, but somewhere nearby there is usually a colourful collection of sweets quietly stealing the show. Children dart towards them with unrestrained enthusiasm, adults insist they are "only having one" and everyone somehow ends up reaching for another handful.
