Cake: A Global History (Edible) by Nicola Humble

Be it a birthday or a wedding—let them eat cake. Encased in icing, crowned with candles,

emblazoned with congratulatory words—cake is the ultimate food of celebration in many cultures

around the world. But how did cake come to be the essential food marker of a significant occasion?

In Cake: A Global History, Nicola Humble explores the meanings, legends, rituals, and symbolism

attached to cake through the ages.

Humble describes the many national differences in cake-making techniques, customs, and

regional histories—from the French gâteau Paris-Brest, named for a cycle race and designed to

imitate the form of a bicycle wheel, to the American Lady Baltimore cake, likely named for a

fictional cake in a 1906 novel by Owen Wister. She also details the role of cake in literature, art,

and film—including Miss Havisham’s imperishable wedding cake in Great Expectations and Marcel

Proust’s madeleine of memory—as well as the art and architecture of cake making itself.

Featuring a large selection of mouthwatering images, as well as many examples and recipes for

some particularly unusual cakes, Cake will provide many sweet reasons for celebration.
