Which Countries or Cultures Make the Best Cakes? Would love to hear your thoughts on this foodie topic. My husband says when it comes to baking, nobody beats out the Greeks and the Jews. Not that I'm a cake connoisseur, but I am tempted to agree with him; especially about the Greeks. Did you know the Greeks invented cheesecake and that we have them to thank for the tradition of the birthday cake?
Sorry to say cake baking is not my forte. But I do love a great cake. It would be right to say that cake loving IS my forte. 💗
Honestly! If Queen Marie Antoinette had really said “Let them eat cake!” and I had been in earshot distance, I would have been “Where?!! Where??!! Where's the cake??!!”

Recently, I've been coming across recipes shared by my online friends from different countries and also from food newsletters that I subscribe to and it's got me dreaming and wishing I could enjoy all of these wonderful baked delights without having to concern myself with the possible ill effects of consuming too much sugar. Alas! There is diabetes in my family line and I just don't want to take any chances.
Most of the time, I enjoy cakes by just looking at them or maybe taste a teeny weeny sample. ☺
But some cakes are far too pretty and unusual to eat. Don't you think? Like these incredible jelly cakes.

These gorgeous jelly cakes came from 'La Floraison' in Sydney Australia. Like a Japanese rainbow cake these confections are almost too pretty to eat.
Some cakes are not even cakes. They're masterpieces. Works of art!
- Like the cakes created by celebrated sugar artist Michelle Wibowo Seeing is believing!.
And then some cakes are dummy cakes. Dummy cakes? Yeah. Also called Fake Cakes. New term I learned. Apparently they have become popular at weddings as the wedding cake. Check out this article in the New York Times about NY Cake. Not edible but the artwork is incredible! 😆
But we all have our preferences and there is not one person in the world who can say that their specific food taste is “the right food taste”.
What about you? Do you 💗 cake?
If you were going to sing praises about a country or a culture that makes the best cakes what would your choice be?
I'd love to hear your picks.
Do you agree or disagree with my husband? ☺
