The meeting begins with a guest speaker who shares for approximately 20 minutes. We then celebrate sobriety milestones, recognizing individuals at the six-month mark and at each annual anniversary. Each celebrant is introduced by someone who presents them with a cake, after which the recipient has an opportunity to share. Both the presenter and the recipient are encouraged to keep their remarks to just a few minutes. Once all presentations are complete, the group joins together to sing the Cake Night Song.

“I Wanna Fly” by Errol Ranville, album cover.

We sing this song on Cake Day by candle light and it is very moving. It was selected and affirmed as the Cake Daysong at the first group conscience meeting of the How It Works group on October 10, 1991. It is nondenominational, in keeping with the nature of AA. The song was recorded at Maddock Studios in Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1988. The lyrics are here and you can listen to it here.

Errol was born August 1, 1953 in Ste. Rose du Lac, a small Metis community in rural Manitoba, Canada. His brother Wally also sang and played guitar on the album.
