The History of Cake: A Sweet Journey Through the Centuries

The story of cake goes all the way back to Ancient Rome, where simple honeyed breads were served on special occasions. Over time, these evolved into more sophisticated versions with layers, creams, and fruit toppings. In the 17th century, with sugar becoming more accessible in Europe, cake-making became an art form. Today, cakes are more than just desserts—they are a symbol of joy, celebration, and creativity. At Mehap Café & Patisserie, we continue this sweet tradition with fresh, handmade cakes crafted daily for your special moments.
