Nowadays, there are a variety of recipes for all kinds of baking, without which no holiday can do, and we are so used to it that it seems as if it always existed. But this is not so. For example, the first mention of a Christmas muffin dates back to the fourteenth century, and the shortcake recipe appeared in the monastery bakeries only in the sixteenth century. With the production of refined sugar, baking began to be produced on an industrial scale. The Easter cake recipe appeared in Italy, where Christmas and Easter are considered home holidays.
