Have you ever wondered about the history of cake in general, and glazed cake in particular? Cake is a short word with a very long history. The English word cake originally comes from the Norse word kaka, and refers to a dessert baked with flour and eggs, and sweetened with honey or sugar. Cake can also be made with milk, although there are lots of cake recipes that do not call for it. Cake has a fluffy, bubbly, airy texture that's created when it rises during the baking process. While the first cakes were probably baked as bread and then sweetened with sugar or honey afterward, today's cakes are cooked as sweet desserts from beginning to end. There's a wide variety of cake recipes available these days, suiting every dietary preference, craving, and need, and that wide variety seems to be growing on a weekly basis. The best cake recipes, it seems, are the ones for birthday cakes. Whether you're looking for kids birthday cakes, kids birthday cake ideas, or novelty cake recipe ideas, Olga's mirror cakes are well worth studying for their originality and beauty. The history of cake icing, or glaze, goes back to the 17th century, as far as we can currently tell. At that time, the glaze, or icing, was poured over the cake and then the cake was returned to the oven where the glaze could set. This was called �icing� the cake because it created a smooth, translucent topping over the cake that clearly resembled ice.
