The origin of cake

The earliest cakes were made of several simple materials.

These cakes are symbols of ancient religious myths and miraculous superstitions. 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.
