History

The art of cake decorating has existed for centuries, but it wasn’t until the 17th century that it started to become popular. By the late 19th century, cake decorating had developed into a true art form, bringing people together from different cultures and backgrounds. The techniques used by professional decorators continue to evolve and expand every year.

While the exact origins of cake are unknown, the earliest versions were flat and very different from the cakes we enjoy today. Early cakes were made from flour, eggs, nuts, and honey, resulting in a mild but pleasant flavor.
