History

The history of the holiday is not reliably known. However, we do know the origin of the dessert itself! It all started in the late 1920s. A man named Harry Baker supplied food to one of Los Angeles’ finest restaurants, which was famous for its celebrity customers (mostly Hollywood actors).

Harry kept the recipe a secret for a long time until he sold it to Betty Crocker in 1947. Since then, the chiffon cake has gained great popularity around the world. Confectioners were constantly coming up with its varieties. Thus, the lemon dessert that this holiday honors was created!

Interesting facts
