“Qu’ils manger de la brioche!” is the famous French quote. This quote is usually attributed to Marie Antoinette, who was informed by Louis XVI that the French peasants had no bread during one of their famines.

Needless to mention, Marie Antoinette and her husband didn’t win any sympathy or respect from their people for that ignorant and arrogant statement. They then proceeded with the French Revolution to behead them both!

This does not change the fact that cake remains one of the most delicious baked goods humans have ever eaten. Its many varieties continue to amaze cake lovers. It is evident that cake deserves its own holiday.

The history of cake goes back to antiquity. It is believed that the first cakes were made in Ancient Greece or Egypt. These were heavy, flat cakes that were served at the end of a meal containing nuts and honey.

This type of cake is now known as baklava. Baklava is a traditional Greek dessert that’s a must-try for anyone who loves sweet stickiness. Later, the Romans created their own sweet treat that was rich and creamy. This cake, as in many other cultures, was reserved for the gods, and was presented to them at their temples, as a sign that they were respected, loved, and revered.

The Oxford English Dictionary dates the English word cake back as far as the 13th century. The boxed cake mix was created because of the Great Depression. This idea proved to be a success, with millions of American housewives taking advantage of it to make their lives easier.

In 19th-century Western Europe, cakes were first used to celebrate birthdays. Cakes can be a wonderful addition to many other meals and functions. They can be used as a simple dessert or as a centerpiece at a large catered event. Everyone loves a slice of cake, whether it’s black or chocolate, angel food, or the upside-down pineapple version.
