Cake is often served as a celebratory dish
on ceremonial occasions, such as weddings,
anniversaries, and
birthdays. There are countless cake
recipes; some are bread-like, some are rich and elaborate, and many are
centuries old. Cake making is no longer a complicated procedure; while
at one time considerable labor went into cake making (particularly the whisking of egg foams), baking equipment and directions have been simplified so that even
the most amateur of cooks may bake a cake.
