La Mordida literally means ‘bite’ and this refers to the Mexican tradition of shoving the face of the person who is celebrating their birthday into the cake to take their first bite whilst everyone around them chants "¡Mordida!" Usually, the cake is a very creamy one called a Pastel de Tres Leches or Three Milk Cake, which makes it perfect for a good mordida.
Las Mañanitas is a Mexican birthday song that’s traditionally sung in the early morning to wake up the person who’s celebrating their birthday. Some people hire mariachi bands (like the one in the picture) to do this. It is also often sung just before cutting the cake during a birthday party.

The quinceañera is a celebration of a girl’s 15th birthday, which is a special event in Mexico and all over Latin America as it traditionally marks the change from childhood to young adulthood.
The piñata is a container, usually made of papier-mâché or cardboard, that is brightly decorated and filled with sweets or other treats. Children take turns to be blindfolded and whack the piñata with a stick in the hope of breaking it open and releasing the treats.
