has a long story to share.
The
word ‘cake ‘etymologically has a Viking origin and the original word from which
this word comes from is ‘kaka’. As per history, the very first people who
conceived the concept of cakes were the Egyptians. They were the first and
famous bakers in the entire world. In ancient times, they used to bake cakes on
the hot stones and the major ingredient that they used to bake a cake where the
unused breads. That is why; they always ended up looking round and fluffy. In
fact, many years ago some Celtic people also used to celebrate a festival which
was known as the Beltane Festival. In this festival, they used to light a
bonfire on the top of the hill and then rolled down those baked and round
shaped cakes from the top of the hill. They used to believe that if the cake
reaches down without breaking then it can bring good luck and fortune.
But
post 18th century this cake became a very common thing to bake and
people from all the corners of the world got to know about it. That is why; at
present there are a lot of varieties and recipes of it. So, when one thinks of cake delivery then they can easily
order from the endless varieties of cakes that are available these days.
As
it is said above that at present, there are varieties of cakes available in
many flavours and shapes and designs. There are also cakes that are
specifically made for a particular occasion. Like when it comes to birthdays
the cakes that are baked are completely different from cakes that are baked for
wedding purposes. Also cutting of cakes in both birthdays and wedding days have
slowly become a popular tradition and a regular thing. Birthday cakes are cut
for happiness and longer lives and on the other hand wedding cakes are cut for
blessings for the new couple so that they can have a happy married life.

wants to start baking at home, then they can start with some easy recipes and
the basic cake making process. One can to keep all the right ingredients in the
