Some rich people also donate money as a fund to reward those who are innovative in developing varieties. According to statistics, in the ancient Egyptian Empire, there were 16 kinds of bread and cakes. It is said that ancient Greece was the first country in the world to use sweeteners in food, including baked goods made of flour. Honey was the first sweetener used in food in ancient Greece, and honey cakes were once popular in Europe, especially in honey producing areas. The ancient Greeks made a fried cake with flour, oil and honey, and made a tower filled with grapes and almonds, which may be the earliest food tower.

Aristotle mentioned all kinds of baked goods many times in his works. The earliest cake in Britain is a kind of fruit cake called "Siml". It is said that it originated in ancient Greece, and its surface is decorated with 12 almond balls, representing the gods in Roman mythology.
