Birthday Cake - Wedding Cake

Cake is a type of baked food that is usually sweet. Cake is often the dessert of choice for meals at ceremonial occasions like weddings, anniversaries and birthdays. Cakes normally combine some kind of flour +Cream+ sugar +egg though gluten or starch are often used by vegetarians and vegans), fats (usually butter, shortening, or margarine, although a fruit purée such as applesauce is sometimes substituted to avoid using fat), a liquid (milk, water or fruit juice), flavors and some form of leavening agent (such as yeast or baking powder), though many cakes lack these ingredients and instead rely on air bubbles in the dough to expand and cause the cake to rise. Cake is often frosted with butter cream or marzipan, and finished with piped borders and crystallized fruit. There are literally millions of cake recipes (some are bread-like and some 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 so perfected and simplified that even the amateur cook may easily become an expert baker.
