On this day, we celebrate one of the world's favorite desserts... the cake. The cake we know and love today evolved from early leavened breads, which were sweetened with honey, fruits, and nuts. Did you know that the word "cake" comes from the Old Norse word, "kaka," meaning a baked flour confection?

3. My all-time favorite cake memory is the one made by my Momma that had caramel icing.
