It seems like, I bet the Chinese were doing it too, didn't say in here. Right. But it seems like anytime you're talking about who did stuff first. It's like Egyptians, Chinese, Greeks, and Romans. Pretty much. I mean, you know, ancient civilization. But maybe not China because it doesn't seem like a very cakey culture.

I bet you someone knows, though. And I bet you there's like one of the best things in the world. It's probably a Chinese cake.

That's right. I mean, clearly, like in Germany, like you talked about in the 15th century, they were making cakes. They were actually even serving cakes at birthdays. And by all accounts, that's probably the first people to start the birthday cake tradition. But and I think they even put candles on top. Well, none of the Greeks put candles on top, but it wasn't like a happy birthday cake.

No, it was more like, hey, this cake is round like the moon. And we're going to put candles on it to make them glow. And they're probably huge candles now that I think about it.

That's right. And then the Germans in the 1400s started doing birthday cakes. And in the 1700s were... full-on, like, it's a kid's birthday party, it's got candles, it's a cake, and we'll sing some depressing German song.

All right. So we're back. And we promised talk of chemistry. And I think we talked about this briefly on one show. I have tried to bake. I did a birthday cake for Emily a couple of years ago, red velvet, Waldorf Astoria cake. And it was okay. It wasn't pretty though.

It just, you know, it didn't look like a cake you would buy in a store or, But it tasted really good. I'll bet it was made with a lot of love, too. Oh, of course. But my deal is I'm not a great baker because baking requires you to be very precise with your ingredients because it is chemistry.

I'm a much better cook because I'm going to fly by the seat of my pants and throw a little of this in there, throw a little of that in there. You can't do that with baking. No, there's much more forgiveness in general cooking than baking.
