Dessert originated from Egypt and Greece.

As far back as 5,000 years ago in ancient Egypt, snacks used as offerings appeared. Commonly used raw materials include flour, milk, butter, sugar, cream, chocolate, fruits, nuts, etc., which are mainly baked at high temperature in an oven.

Europe began to use sugar around the 10th century. During the Crusades, cities in Italy began to use sugar to make snacks, such as Macchi bread cooked with peanuts and sugar, or sprinkles. Sweet desserts topped with spices and sugar. In addition, in France in the 13th century, pie shops invented creamy fruit tarts baked with almonds. From then on, pastry shops were called pastry shops.
