Cakes have always been relevant in history. Think, for example, of Marie Antoinette, who loved various French desserts. In addition to this empress, cakes were also loved by other statesmen – Catherine the Great, Elizabeth Petrovna. The
history of cakes begins about 2000 years ago
.
Then there were the first recipes for the preparation of sweet products. Of course, because of the lack of sugar, it is impossible to call the ancient cakes a full-fledged dessert. However, those recipes laid the foundation for modern pastry
. There is a version according to which the first pastry chef was the son of the Vietnamese emperor Tran Von V. According to other versions, pastries were invented in ancient Rome and Greece.
