Grandma's Easter cake, more than 100 years old: How they used to decorate holiday baked goods
Since ancient times, the preparation of the Easter cake has been treated with special reverence. While the dough was being kneaded, it was forbidden to speak loudly, especially to quarrel. The hostess kneaded the dough with her hands. The decorations were made of unleavened dough, not icing. Recipes were handed down from generation to generation, from grandmother to daughter.
