An integral and most anticipated part of any holiday is a cake. In addition to taste, now the cakes are also very beautiful - with a complex composition, themed. The Vanilla blog is dedicated to them. We have collected 6 fun and interesting facts about our favorite topic.
1. The earliest versions of the cake were flat, small disks of grain that were dried and put together. The modern cakes that we enjoy today only appeared in the early 18th century, because before that they were made with yeast, much closer to bread than cake.
2․ Christmas cake is a very modern addition to the holiday dessert table in a number of Western countries. Commonly eaten at Christmas, the popsicle cake actually replaced the traditional "Twelfth Cake" eaten at Epiphany as Christmas approached.
3․ The older the fruit cake, the richer the flavor. In fact, Roman crusaders ate fruit cakes to keep themselves full and energized. They were later adapted by being filled with fruit soaked in rum or brandy to keep the freshness longer. This is one of the reasons fruit cake is on of the traditional wedding cakes, as it stays fresh for a long time when there is no possibility of freezing.
4 . The first layered wedding cake was made in 1858 for Queen Victoria's eldest daughter (also called Victoria). Queen Victoria's own wedding cake was surprisingly large, but it only had one floor. Victoria was also the first to use pure white icing on her wedding cake, which is why it is now known as "royal icing".
5 . Every day, people around the world eat between 50 and 100 million birthday cakes.
6․ Chocolate is considered the best flavor for most people when it comes to holiday cakes, followed by vanilla. The German chocolate cake is one of the most famous desserts in the world, but it didn't originate in Germany. In fact, it is associated with an American Samuel German, who used the recipe published under the name "German's Chocolate Cake", which made him famous.
