History+of+the+Cake

*In the 1700s, women started using cake pans.

*Romans began experimenting with bread and soon it became cake.

*Greeks took credit for the now modern round shape bread that was soon sweetened with fruits and honey, into cake. They made it to look like the Temple of Artemis- the moon  goddess or to look like a moon.

*People believe that birthday cakes started in Greece also.

*Birthday candles were started because Greeks wanted to make the cake light up like the moon! They believed the smoke carried the wishes to G-d.

*In mid-evil times in England, people would place items in the batter of the cake. The person who found the slice with an object, i.e., a ring, would be said to marry soon, thimble would never marry, and coin would be wealthy. Cakes
