The holiday pushes the boundaries between people, teaches them to love, understand and appreciate relationships The holiday call “I will come to you with a cake” symbolizes a warm, friendly visit with a sincere, deep message
From Italian, everyone’s favorite dessert called “torte” is translated as “intricate, twisty” When, and even more so who made it for the first time, is not known for certain According to various sources, the history of the cake goes back about 2,000 years There are still disputes between Greek and Italian confectioners (tortaio) for the right to primacy in creating a culinary masterpiece
The idea of creating Cake Day belongs to the non-profit community “Milan Club” of the Kingdom of Love This is a global international project that brings together artists, musicians, poets, writers, cooks and other creative personalities Its mission is to create large-scale cultural events and peace initiatives
The open club began its work in 2009 That’s when the idea of making special musical cakes came up The first international cake was baked by Milena Gornstein in Israel The elegant Sweet Dream dessert was a 2-tier design with black and white piano keys at the base, and sheet music and a saxophone on top A win-win color scheme was used - white, black and gold The cake was dedicated to Anton Vuim's musical overture
For the first international day of celebration, many cakes were baked - a kaleidoscope of desserts from different countries was posted on the official website of the Kingdom of Love The organizing committee summed up all the parameters of the cakes and came up with one giant dessert Confectioners from 9 different countries took part in its production - Israel, America, Russia, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Moldova, Belarus and Ukraine
Every year more and more participants join the sweet flash mob They include both famous confectioners and ordinary people who love to bake and more A birthday cake can be drawn, molded, knitted, mosaiced, embroidered, made from balloons and any other materials
