Lemon cakes would have been served at parties or small get togethers during the 1920's.

Chef Jean-Georges was considered to be the Unites States answer to nouvelle cuisine and can still be found in kitchens around the country today.

The donning of “throws” began when Rex, the king of Mardi Gras threw sugar covered almonds into the crowds; a custom he learned in which was similar to the English Renaissance (punchbowl.com). Still to this day, it is a tradition, and common to see, people being rewarded with beads or trinkets (throws). The music of Mardi Gras is also a unique and special commodity. This special music was composed of rhythmic carnival beats with rhythm and blues. The music included brass bands that played selections with a mix of jazz, jukebox, and Afro-Caribbean chants. Louisiana is responsible for some of the most delicious, in particular gumbo or jambalaya. But, one of the most popular, foods of Mardi Gras is the King Cake.

First we have “Venus and Cupid” by the Venetian artist Lorenzo Lotto, who has created a marriage painting which is the visual equivalent of a marriage poem. These romantic, ancient poems or songs were performed at weddings and often began with verses in which Venus was awakened to bless the bride and groom. Through these blessings, their love and dedication to their partner was celebrated. During the renaissance there was a widespread revival of the form.

Lotto's genius was to wed contemporary symbols like the Venetian bridal tiara and a cupid who urinates to symbolize fertility.

Wedding cakes have grown and developed from two main ethnical traditions. One of the traditions can be traced back to the Ancient Roman Empire. “Around 1900 years ago, the Romans began baking wheat and salt into small cakes to be eaten” (Clee-Cadman, Mary). One of the rituals

And that is exactly what the cake was. It was a very flat cake normally made up of nuts and honey. They also made another cake called Satura. Another flat cake made from nuts but mostly honey. The Romans also made a cake called placenta. They also called the cake Libum. The placenta was more of a cheesecake then an actual cake.

Many historians believe that Marie Antoinette never utter the famous French quote “Qu'ils mangent de la brioche”, commonly known as “Let them eat cake”, but this does not mean everything from the Rococo period that is known is a lie.
