National Tic Tac Day and National Angel Food Cake Day or Cake Decorating Day in USA

Tic Tac is a brand of small, hard mint manufactured by the Italian company Ferrero. They were first produced in 1969 and are now available in a variety of flavours in over 100 countries. Tic Tacs are usually sold in small transparent plastic boxes with a flip-action living hinge lid. Originally, Tic Tacs were dyed specific colours for different flavours, although in many countries the transparent plastic boxes are now coloured and the actual Tic Tacs are white.

Some historians think that the first angel food cakes were probably baked by African-American slaves from the South because making this cake required a strong beating arm and lots of labor to whip the air into the whites. Angel food cakes are also a traditional African-American favorite for post-funeral feasting.

Cake decorating was rumoured to start by a French bakery in the 1840's where a French baker wanted to increase the prices of the cakes and hence thought to decorate it. It was the French who, during the 19th century, popularized the concept of dessert and brought decorated cakes to people's dining tables.
