History

Baking originated in Ancient Greece, Rome and Egypt. It is impossible to establish the exact place of origin. There is evidence that local housewives spoiled their families with berry and fruit pies. How I would like to try the products of that time! It is noteworthy that around 2500 BC. people baked bread. Often he resembled images of animals, intended for sacrifices.

More familiar and relatively modern pastries have existed in Europe since the 18th century. Flour was the main ingredient, so the tormentors did their best to improve its performance. On the ceremonial tables one could find cakes, primitive cakes, biscuits and more. In the 19th century, sugar became widely available – it used to have a very high price tag. A culinary era has begun, full of experiments and amazing events!
