Cake decorating is fun, the sugars are used so that you can frost boring cakes, making them be more pleasing to the eye.
I don't know the first thing about cake decorating!  How does a person even learn how to do that?
Well, there are many classes, but it was first said to be created by a French bakery back in the 1840s. The bakery wanted to get more money for their cakes so they decided to decorate to make the price increase seem worthwhile.
Interesting!  Leave it to the French to make food look and taste better!  What is your favorite kind of cake?
I enjoy yellow cake with a homemade caramel frosting the best. I like to decorate my cakes for special occasions, like my kids birthday.
What is the flavor of yellow cake?  Is it vanilla?
I believe it might be just butter flavor. Cake decorating has actually been around for a very long time, back in the 17th Century of Europe.
Wow!  17th century!  Is it pretty much the same flavors and processes used to bake cakes today as back in the 17th century?
As the shape of cakes started getting more decorative, the patterns changed and adding food coloring became more popular over time.
