Ancient Origins:

Imagine Mesopotamia (think Iraq and Kuwait) over 4,000 years ago. What's for dessert? The early versions of cake – flatbreads sweetened with honey! A far cry from modern pastries, but hey, they started somewhere, right?

Birthday Bonanza:

Blowing out candles is a birthday tradition everywhere in Nepal. But did you know it might be from ancient Greece? Back then, Greeks offered honey cakes to the moon goddess Artemis, lighting candles to symbolize her moonlight. A luminous way to celebrate another year!

Royal Icing:

Queen Victoria gets the crown for popularizing white icing in the 19th century. Before that, icing came in all colors! But Queen Victoria fancied white, and suddenly it became a symbol of royalty. Who knew icing could have such a big impact?

Stacked for Success:

Ever wonder why wedding cakes are so tall? It's all thanks to ancient Rome! Guests brought their own cakes, stacking them for good luck. The higher the cake, the more blessed the couple! So next time you see a towering cake in Kathmandu, remember, it's not just about looks – it's a symbol of fortune!

Cakewalk Capers:

The cakewalk dance originated from competitions held by enslaved people in the Southern United States. The winner? The one who could strut their stuff most elegantly while balancing a cake on their head! Talk about multitasking!

Lucky Fruitcake Folklore:

In some cultures, fruitcake is more than dessert – it's good luck! Parts of Europe had a tradition of keeping fruitcake under your pillow on Christmas Eve for dreams of your future spouse! So next Christmas, consider an online fruitcake delivery in Kathmandu from SCN – it might just be your lucky charm!
