History, tradition and origin

Cakes mark celebrations in most cultures: birthdays, weddings and holidays. Light sponge layers became possible with refined flour, beaten eggs and, later, baking powder in the 1800s. Chocolate cake, red cocoa cake with white frosting and spiced carrot cake are American and British favourites. Layered honey cake is a Russian classic, and sponge soaked in sweet milk is loved across Latin America.

Food economy and industry

Home baking, neighbourhood bakeries and custom cake makers together form a large and steady trade, with wedding cakes at the top end. Sugar, flour, butter, eggs and cocoa are the main costs. Cocoa comes mostly from West Africa, and its price has risen sharply in years of poor harvests.
