Hello again! I'm down with a cold today, but don't worry that won't stop me from continuing with the fifth steps. Today's entry is about cakes. The history of cake dates back to ancient times. The first cakes were very different from what we eat today. They were more bread-like and sweetened with honey. Nuts and dried fruits were often added.

There are thousands varieties of cakes found all around the world for example sponge cake, butter cake, pound cake, strawberry cake, chocolate cake, vanilla cake, black forest cake, banana cake and so much more.
