The doodle isn't something that would turn heads at first -- it just has Google font coated in chocolate with rainbow sprinkles where the 'L' has now been replaced by a burning candle atop a two-tier cake with 23 written on it.However, soon after, the cake smiles and lifts its top tier as if it's tipping its hat.

What's fascinating is that in 1997, Sergei Brin showed Larry Page around Stanford who at the time was considering the institution for his graduation. A year later they ended up teaming together in developing their first Google search engine prototype.?
Google was actually founded by Sergei and Larry on September 4, 1998.
