Did you get it right?
The birthday table has cake, candles, plates, forks, napkins, cups, gifts, and matches, but one expected serving item is missing.

The Answer
The correct answer is: a cake knife.
Here is why
- The cake is ready and the candles are lit.
- There are plates, forks, cups, napkins, gifts, matches, and cookies.
- There is no cake knife or cutting utensil visible for slicing the cake.
Why people miss it
The forks and plates make the table look complete, but a cake still needs a knife before it can be served.
