WHAT DID THE FIRST CAKE LOOK LIKE?
1 – The earliest versions of cake were actually flat, compact discs of grain which were dried and compacted together. The closest resemblance to the cakes we enjoy today actually didn’t appear until the early 18th century, as before this time, they were raised with yeast and closer to bread than cakes.

WHEN DID CHRISTMAS CAKE ORIGINATE?
2 – Christmas cake is a fairly modern addition to the festive dessert table. The fruity, iced cake that we eat around Christmas time now actually replaced the more traditional ‘Twelfth Cake’ from the late 19th century, which was eaten at the feast of Epiphany when the Christmas season drew to a close.
