Introduction

Greetings, my name is Cian and I on this blog I will share with you the geography of cake. One can be forgiven for thinking that geography might not stem out as far as the exciting subject of cake, but I am here to show you how it does.

To start, what exactly is cake (other than the extremely delicious food commodity eaten mainly on special occasions and sometimes for breakfast)? Well, on a very basic level, cake is made up of eggs, milk, sugar, flour, baking powder and butter. This fact can be studied from a geographical perspective because of where all of these ingredients come from, who makes them, other ways they are used etc. Other ways that the subject of cake can be looked at geographically is where cake is popular, where cake is made and shipped to, etc.
The next post will go more in-depth into the interesting world of the geography of cake.
