| The origin of birthday cakes can be traced back to ancient times.
However, they were not the cakes that we have today. The word 'cake' is
a derivation of the Old Norse word 'kaka' and is believed to be coined
as early as the 13th century...
According
to some historians, the custom of the birthday cake was observed in
ancient Greece who made round or moon shaped honey cakes or bread and
took it to the temple of Artemis -the Goddess of Moon...
Angel cake:
Whites 5 eggs,
3/4 cup sugar,
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar,
1/2 cup bread flour,
1 teaspoon vanilla.

| Hello and welcome back! I
partied almost the whole of last night and woke up quite late today!
Had a gala time with my friends...lots of booze, lots of my fave

would be to start my own blog. In
all these years, I have seen my pals making their virtual personality
by way of expressing themselves in their blogs. And I really feel that
it is a nice idea of making yourself known to thousands of people. When
I was born, I befriended my acquaintances, and now when my blog is
born, I can befriend thousands of souls!!!! It's a gift I give myself
today... read more
