We all know that there are innumerable recipes and flavours of cakes available these days. But what we eat today as a cake was not the same in ancient world. It was just a sweet bread formation with added honey. Since then cake has come a long way. As history evolved to modern times, cake has also evolved from just bread and honey.

History speaks

Most of the people say that a proper cake was first baked in Europe in the early 17^th century. Due to advancement of technology, invention of oven had happened and we got our first baked cake. But the extra components that were added to the recipe were sugar, dry fruits and flours. Much later toppings over a cake were introduced. At that time, it was made with hot melted egg white.

Cake means…

Have you ever thought what really the word cake means? Well, the answer is here. It is said that cakes were mandatory in all religious ceremonies, which were performed in Italy. People out there used to think that this preparation should be round and circle because it symbolizes the cyclic pattern of nature like sun and moon. As it was round, they named it cake. Some other people say that cakes are round and it has nothing to do with nature. The type of yeast bread, which was previously used to make cakes, was round in shape. That is the cause that we are still following it.

Serves all purpose

In modern times, we do not need a reason to bake or buy a cake and enjoy it. Be it a birthday or a wedding or an anniversary or just a gathering, it is simply incomplete without a cake. Nowadays, there are no ends in varieties that are available. Flavours are also too many to choose from. We can choose from different flavours like vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, blueberry, raspberry, mango, coffee or anything else. In fact, we also have a plethora of choices when we look at the type of cakes that are made today. One can choose a plain cake or a plum cake or a Dundee cake or a fruit cake or a pastry— anything. But what may be the occasion, we follow the ancient rituals. That is why we cut the cake before serving to the guests. This is the only thing that has remained permanent from history.
