Brain Teasers
Low Profile Hero
Born in nature, shaped by man
Getting just shorter in a life span
Almost no one all of the way
But when needed "I'm hero of the day"
Always giving but never will take
And in some days I top the "bake"
Getting just shorter in a life span
Almost no one all of the way
But when needed "I'm hero of the day"
Always giving but never will take
And in some days I top the "bake"
Answer
A Candle.(born in nature = bee wax, getting just shorter = as I burn out, almost no one = not important, hero of the day = when there is a power cut, always giving = light, top the bake = in birthdays placed on top of cake)

Good one! But you didn't take into count that some people burn them for their scent (like me). I had one going last evening, they are fragrant and calming.
Clever riddle!
Second line gave it away. Easy.
I guessed it right after reading the second line because there are so many riddles about candles and they almost always use the "getting shorter" clue. Well-written poem, though--fun to do!
Clever, but a little to easy. Good riddle though.
Nice teaser. I for one didn't get it, but I enjoyed thinking about it. Thanks for posting.
Very fun! I actually got one of these for once
I didn't get it.
Very good. I liked it.
I was thinking a pencil. It worked, too, until the 'bake' part.
Cleverly written - I liked that riddle. And any occasion is always better when you light candles. Have a wonderful day, my PA and CT friends!
Another burnt out teaser. A big good morning hug to my ladies.
Very nice.
I needed the last line, but at least I got it!
AROB, Howdy to my good friends on here.
I was thinking ICE:
"Born in nature, shaped by man" - naturally occurring, but we mold it in ice cube trays and ice sculpture.
"Getting just shorter in a life span" - Melting
"Almost no one all of the way" - (ambiguous) anything oft overlooked
"But when needed 'I'm hero of the day'" - on a hot day, cooling your drinks, or for injuries
"Always giving but never will take" - will only melt when used - won't freeze the contents of your glass
"And in some days I top the 'bake'" - "icing!" (this one was a bit of a stretch, but since "bake" was in quotations, it's kind of asking for it, and dropping the suffix makes sense for both answers)

I liked the teaser
It made me smile,
But figuring it out
Took me a while.
Do another one,
If you please
I will work it out
I am sure with ease.
Thank you!

Only shorter if burned.
