The origin of birthday cake:
Europeans in the Middle Ages believed that birthdays were the day when the soul was most easily invaded by demons, so on birthdays, relatives and friends would gather around to give blessings and send cakes to bring good luck to drive away demons. Up to now, both adults and children can buy a beautiful cake on their birthdays and enjoy the blessings given by everyone.
When the ancient Greeks celebrated their children's birthdays, they put many small lighted candles on the cakes and added a new activity-blowing out these lighted candles. They believe that lighted candles have mysterious power. If the birthday child makes a wish in his heart at this moment and then blows out all the candles in one breath, then the child's good wish will surely come true.
The early economic and trade routes imported exotic spices from the Far East to the north, nuts, toilet water, citrus fruits, dates and figs from the Middle East, and sugar cane from eastern and southern countries.
In the dark ages of Europe, these rare raw materials were only available to monks and nobles, and their pastry creations were honey gingerbread and flat hard biscuits. Slowly, with the frequent trade, the eating habits of western countries have changed completely.
