Brownies are a form of chocolate cake that tastes deliciously fudgy. Although many people debate the best aspects of the chocolate treat, whether it's the corner or the middle, its chewy texture or the stiff edges.
Brownie's original purpose was to be a small desert woman could easily carry around with them while attending expositions. The chefs at the Palmer House Hotel-- located in Chicago, Illinois-- in turn took this task in stride, which ended up with the creation of the first recorded brownie in history.

Cake has been one of the most well known desserts for a while, as an extension of bread, just in a sweetened form. Today it is a necessity for so many celebrations, from birthdays, to Christmas, or in this case Valentine's Day!
Cake can be traced back to ancient times, such as the Greeks and Romans. The sweetened bread topped with fruits, honey, etc. to make it cake. However, now, cake is much more well known and identified, with trends such as “Cake or Fake” used to show off the delicate craft of cake making.
