Interesting facts about cakes


    
  • In the middle ages, the word "cake" was not used to describe the tasty and sweet cake that we used to know: bread was considered to be a "cake".

  • By the way, in France, the cake was also not originally a sweet served for dessert. A round meat pie with a salty taste is what was originally called a cake in this romantic country.

  • Small cupcakes, which are so popular today, appeared in England when they were prepared in cups. Hence its name came from the word "cup".

  • The first birthday cake was served in 1785. It had little to do with the present birthday cakes decorated with candles.

  • It’s not without reason that wedding cakes are made precisely with white, covered with snow-white mastic or covered with light cream. Just as a wedding dress symbolizes innocence, a white wedding cake is a symbol of purity.
