Birthday Cake!!

Cake is more commonly known as a sweet food, usually served for a desert. Cake most usually takes on a form similar to bread. The common ingredients include:

• Flour
• Milk
• Eggs
• Oil 
• Sugar
• Butter

This will vary depending on the type of cake the individual is aiming for. A cake is usually supplied at special events such as birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas's and so on, used as a celebrating mechanism. 

The flavour of a cake can be changed by the inclusion of different agents such as cocoa for a chocolate cake, coloured dye for a rainbow cake or even adding elements such as nuts and fruit. The cake can also be covered with frosting, to give a completed, smooth look. Cake decorating is a popular task today and can be enhanced with such items as sprinkles and chocolate pieces and shavings. 

The shape of a cake can also be altered varying on the occasion or personal preference. The common round tin is not the only one available for purchase. Today we have the wide options of tins such as square, rectangle, cupcake shapes and so on.
