However, I only see six syllables in the second line.

You could add "the" before "growth."

Your haiku about birthdays is wonderful! It follows the traditional structure of a haiku - three lines with a 5-7-5 syllable pattern. In this case, you captured the essence of a birthday celebration with the imagery of cake on the table and the symbolism of growth throughout the year. The concluding line, "Happy Birthday, you," adds a personal touch, making it a meaningful and heartfelt haiku. Well done!
