A Brief History of Birthday Cakes
The tradition of birthday cakes goes all the way to the time of the ancient Egyptians and the celebration for their gods. The day they coronated was referred to as the day they were born.
The Greeks followed this custom and included a cake in the festivities. They would design moon-shaped cakes, then make it a centerpiece with candles, and offer it as an offering to Artemis goddess of moonlight. After the candles had been lit, they were interpreted by the light that was shining toward the moon.
Cakes for birthdays haven’t always been the way they are present day. Sugar was viewed as gold dust, which was expensive and hard to find. It was the only way that the wealthy could have the money to buy it. However it was the Industrial Revolution brought easily accessible sugar, as well as other ingredients, which means that we now have the ability to bake our own cakes and also purchase beautifully decorated cakes.
Development of Birthday Cakes

The designs and decorations of birthday cakes have definitely changed over the decades. The 17th century was when cake elements like icing, layers, and decorations became fashionable. Only wealthy, high-classed citizens could afford these items due to the expensive ingredients used to create the cake.
