Many people know that in the past people did not know what a cake was. More precisely, they did not know what a cake was in the modern sense. In the Romans and Greeks in ancient times, a cake was an ordinary sponge decorated with a beautiful ornament of fruit juice.
Cake creams appeared later and made a sensation in the confectionery craft. After the preparation of custard became commonplace, the counters of bakeries were filled with different buns and cakes with this cream.
In the XX century, cakes and
pies
ceased to be something elitist
.
Housewives began to prepare cakes literally from simple cream and uncomplicated sponge cake.
