Wedding cakes as bday cakes?

No, unfortunately, they cannot. Someone may make a mod for that eventually, but unmodded, they can't.

Oh, no. Why would they do that? :(

That's disappointing...

Ah that's a shame some of them are so cute there are so many plenty to choose from too, ah well maybe the pack will get a reboot too and they might be convinced to add that.

They should add the option for them. I'd love to use some of them as birthday cakes.

I'm wondering if the reason is because the cake is too tall and so it doesn't make sense with the current animation

I suspect that is at least part of the reason. But, not all the wedding cakes are too tall. The pillow cakes and heart cakes, for example, have a low enough profile that the animation for blowing out candles would look fine with them.

Maybe the candles are set on a fixed height matching with bday cakes, but not with taller cakes. I assume the same goes for the wedding cake toppers, they are set too high for a bday cake, so they can probably not be used with bday cakes. That said, wedding cakes seem to come in various heights, so this should not be impossible to fix in the future.

I was wondering the same thing just this morning, and I think it's a shame that it's not an option.

Would have been nice if they made single layer versions of the cakes too, to use as birthday cakes. Or for smaller weddings/vow renewals.
