The cake Google Doodle has been completed with a candle, which is the alphabet "L" in the name "Google". Painting of the cake for celebrating Google's birthday has been done by the 89-year-old American artist, Wayne Thiebaud, who is very famous in the Pop Art movement for his pictures of cakes, pastries, boots, toilets, toys, lipsticks and other mass culture objects.
