A party isn’t a party without a cake. We cut cakes for almost all celebrations like anniversaries, engagement parties, birthdays, promotions, marriages, etc. Yet when and how did we start, the culture of cutting cakes is still unknown for many people. The first real birthday cake is thought to have been made in Middle age Germany. The Germans will celebrate with a cake, the birthdays of babies. Cakes have initially been a bread-like product, and later it evolved into a much sweeter version.
Nevertheless, due to the high-priced ingredients, these kinds of cakes were only affordable by the wealthy, upper class. Food and kitchen utensils were made more available in the 18th century, and thus accessible. With that, the price of cakes fell significantly, and the number of cakes created increased considerably. These days there are a lot of varieties of cake for all occasions like three-layered wedding cakes with white icing, personalized birthday cakes with messages on it, etc.
