Yes, that\u2019s a thing, and it\u2019s fantastic. If we\u2019re honest, we don\u2019t know why this isn\u2019t a monthly occasion. To celebrate, the Sandton Central team is (of course) going to indulge in a slice of deliciousness, but we\u2019re also going to take a closer look at this classic dessert, some of the history behind the iconic confectionary, and cake trends to look out for as we head into 2023. Much like any good cake, this article has layers.<strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;\"><strong><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #0e101a;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<h1 style=\"margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;\"><strong><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #0e101a;\">What is cake?<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #0e101a;\">Listen, we know this seems obvious. You\u2019re an adult, you\u2019ve had birthdays, and you know what a cake is. Or do you? Is a pancake a cake? A vetkoek? Do cupcakes count as cake, or are they their own thing?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #0e101a;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #0e101a;\">According to the ultimate informational authority (Wikipedia), a cake is \u201ca flour confection made from flour, sugar, and other ingredients, and is usually baked.\u201d The platform elaborates, \u201cThe most common ingredients include flour, sugar, eggs, fat (such as butter, oil or margarine), a liquid, and a leavening agent, such as baking soda or baking powder.\u201d Pretty standard stuff, right? What you might not have known is that professional bakers have defined two main types of cake, \u201cshortened\u201d and \u201cunshortened.\u201d The differentiation comes in whether they contain fat or not. Unshortened or \u201cfoam\u201d cakes don\u2019t contain oil or butter, while shortened cakes do. So yes, a vetkoek IS a cake &#8211; a shortened one, at that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #0e101a;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;\"><strong><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #0e101a;\">The history of cake.<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #0e101a;\">Though it\u2019s now a birthday party staple, the humble cake wasn\u2019t always so regularly available in the bakery section of your local grocery store. The word \u201ccake\u201d is of Viking origin, from the Old Norse word \u201ckaka.\u201d The first cakes, as we know them now, came from Ancient Greece and were called \u201cplakous\u201d, which was derived from the word for \u201cflat.\u201d These plakous were baked using flour mixed with eggs, milk, nuts, and honey. Just a short distance away, the Romans were also investigating cakey goodness. As a fun experiment, one clever Roman baker decided to enhance their basic bread dough with butter, eggs, and honey, which produced a sweet and cake-like baked good. In England, predictably, early cakes were pretty much the same recipe as the bread they were making but differentiated by their circular shape. Sponge cakes, which most closely resemble the cakes we enjoy today, only popped up in the Renaissance in Spain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #0e101a;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #0e101a;\">Half the fun of a good cake is how it looks, so the history of cake decoration is also worth considering. During the Great Depression of the early 20th century, there was a surplus of molasses in the USA. There were also very many hungry people that needed feeding. One company put two and two together and developed an easy, cheap cake mix in a box. This took cake from a \u201cspeciality and bakery\u201d place to a \u201cmake your own\u201d place. Now that making a cake was so easy, home cooks had time to pour effort into making their cakes beautiful. And that, pretty much, is the reason Pinterest exists.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #0e101a;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;\"><strong><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #0e101a;\">Cake trends for 2023<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;\"><strong><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #0e101a;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;\"><strong><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #0e101a;\">Funky Flavours<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #0e101a;\">Chocolate and vanilla? That\u2019s so 2003. As we move into the new year, the cake world\u2019s focus has shifted to exciting flavour combos and unexpected icing twists. There\u2019s been a trend towards American flavours, so s\u2019mores, salted caramel, pumpkin spice and cookies &amp; cream are showing up in a big way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #0e101a;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;\"><strong><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #0e101a;\">Maximalist decorating<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #0e101a;\">Understated elegance? No thanks. It\u2019s literally a cake; why would you want less of it? Decorators are moving away from minimal, sparse decorations and stacking cakes with bright colours, garnishes, tasty treats and mountains of icing. Instagram is filled with \u201cshowstopper cakes\u201d decorated with a mixture of stencils, metallics, piping, drips, flowers, and edible and non-edible decorations such as sprinkles, macarons, fans, and personalised toppers. Just in time for summer, social media cake gurus are leaning into lavish florals and botanical themes, which are perfect for garden parties. Or eating on your own over the sink at 3AM. We don\u2019t judge here.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #0e101a;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;\"><strong><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #0e101a;\">Everyday indulgences<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #0e101a;\">The best thing about being an adult is that you can actually just buy a cake. You don\u2019t need permission or a party or anything. People are realising this, and smaller, everyday cakes are becoming more popular. Cakes have moved from special occasion deserts into the territory of everyday snacking, which seems like the right call. \u201cPeople are finding fun moments where they can, and food is always front and centre,\u201d says Asda senior director of culinary innovation Jonathan Moore. \u201cThis means there are no rules, so we can shake off any traditions when it comes to different formats, flavours and pairings and just go for it.\u201d Now you can have your cake, eat it, AND not have to invite anyone to your house. It\u2019s a win for all involved.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #0e101a;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;\"><strong><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #0e101a;\">Where can I get cake?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #0e101a;\">If you\u2019ve made it to the end of this article and you DON\u2019T want a slice of cake, we\u2019re going to assume it\u2019s because you\u2019ve just finished your previous one.
