Celebration Cakes – Their Look, Taste, and Legacy

Cakes: Anytime Celebration
Cakes and celebrations – we cannot have one without the other today! But that’s not quite how it always used to be. Over time, cakes have become synonymous with joy, celebration, togetherness, and indulgence. That’s also because cakes have evolved significantly over the years and become more irresistible with time!

Let’s take a look at all there is to know and learn about the legacy of cakes.

Cake and its Humble Beginnings
Although we imagine cakes to be the brainchild of the British (what with their obsession with high-tea and tea cakes!) or even the French (remember how Marie Antoinette proclaimed that if you couldn’t afford bread, you should just eat cake instead?), here is a little surprise. It was the Germans who made the first birthday cake for a celebration called Kinderfest (the birthday of a child). If that seems like a strange fact, stranger still is that cake then wasn’t even close to being as sweet as it is today and had a much more bready texture.

With more innovation and advancements, the world of baking and cakes evolved significantly. Layers, decorations, and details soon became a part of special cakes.  More importantly, cakes started becoming more affordable and accessible to everyone.

Let’s take a look at cakes today, especially celebration cakes. We’ve come a long way from the plain vanilla and chocolate and learned to experiment with many more flavours and textures in sponges and fillings. Celebration cakes are a raging favourite today, and no design is beyond the scope of a good pâtissier.

The Changing Climate of Cake Gifting
Turn back a decade or more, and you would only notice celebration cakes during weddings and birthdays. Now you can see them at baby showers, anniversaries, engagements, and even casual parties. What’s more, the most enjoyable occasion to enjoy a cake is when there is none at all! The no-reason cake seems to bring out the greatest elements of surprise and joy. That’s probably why there is so much more scope to customize and personalize celebration cakes today. With the option of ordering celebration cakes online, you can send them to anyone, anywhere, and make your presence felt.

Cakes and Personalities
All celebration cakes have their own personality. Well, they also match certain personality types. So, if you are planning to send celebration cakes online, consider this information carefully before picking a flavour:

• Vanilla: Don’t ever be fooled into believing that vanilla is plain or boring. In fact, this is for impulsive, fun-loving souls who never shy away from a dare.
• Chocolate: For the star of the show, the heart of the party, and everyone’s 3 am friend! SMOOR shows you how chocolates can have many forms and shades. With a variety, including the Madagascar chocolate cake, Belgian dark chocolate hazelnut truffle, and Intense chocolate cake, you will never feel short-changed.
