The moment you hear it is the moment you want it. We are talking about cakes here. Nothing lewd goes on at hints of life. And yes we keep all that under the sheets. (Strict policies you see). Nonetheless, it’s cake time and you will be glad to add these reasons to your list of why to have cake more often. Not that you need any reasons in the first place. But keep some handy just in case the moral diet police catch you off guard.
A Bit of Cake History
All my Readers please give a round of applause to the Egyptians! This genius civilization was the first to show proof of baking. Some here craved a cake in their imagination and brought it to life. Our very beloved ‘cake’ hails from the old Norse term Kaka. When in its developing phase in the Middle Ages, the cake was something that looked like a baked round flat bread with hard sides.
And please cut Mary Antoinette some slack (not that she deserves any). But apparently, historians believe that it wasn’t her who uttered the infamous phrase “Let them eat cake!” in 1789 during the French Revolution, but Maria Theresa, wife of Louis XIV.
Moving on, birthday cakes became a thing in 1785. The fancy term ‘Royal icing’ that pure white icing gets is, comes from Queen Victoria. She asked to put white icing on her wedding cake.
