Today is my sister's birthday, she'll be 11 Inshallah and I was curious about the celebration of birthdays.....

For the past 10 years we haven't celebrated birthdays and today my Mum wants to hold a household celebration to make her happy (She's Special needs). I've told my mother I'm not sure if we should be doing this, but she says it's only having a cake which says happy birthday on it and maybe going out to eat.

I just want to know the Islamic stance on this, I've heard opinions saying celebrating birthdays is Haraam and others say it doesn't matter. Can someone clarify this?
