Some societies - and above all Arab ones - prefer to give the names of women to types of sweets, so we find: Umm Ali, Zainab's fingers, six grooves, and girls' spin; whereas a man is rarely called any type of sweets.
And the matter does not stop there, for there are sweets that were inspired by women and created specifically for them. In the following list, we show some of the western sweets that were the woman behind the innovation.
1- Pavlova
This "Maring" candy is named after the famous Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova, which is a cake with ripples on the outside but light and gentle on the inside.
Several reports indicate that the dessert was first invented in New Zealand in 1926 during a world tour of Pavlova, but there is an ongoing conflict until the moment between New Zealand and Australia over the location of this dessert, which is frequently presented in celebrations and holidays.
Although the oldest recipe for preparing Pavlova sweets was found in the book "Cooking New Zealand" issued in 1927, Australia is trying to prove that it is the home of these sweets, and that it was also prepared for the famous dancer.
2- Beautiful Helen pear
A dessert created by French chef Auguste Escovier to honor Ortens Schneid, the heroine of the opera "Beautiful Helen", which was being exhibited in 1896.
The dessert depends on the fruit of a pear dipped in diameter (mixture of sugar, water and sour juice), cooked over low heat for no more than 15 minutes, and finally covered with chocolate liquid.
3- Peach Milpa
This dessert was also invented by French chef Auguste Escovier in 1892, in honor of Australian Soprano Nellie Melba, at a ceremony called by Prince Duke of Orleans (Prince of France), to celebrate the success of Melba, who was rumored to have an affair between them at the time.
For this occasion, held in the British capital, London, Escovié designed the swan shape that appears in opera performances using peach fruits, and decorated it with vanilla ice cream and girls' spinning.
4- Victoria Cake
The Queen of the United Kingdom Victoria (1819-1901) was fond of cakes and drank them alongside private English tea, and this traditional spongy type of cake was her favorite, so it was called Victoria Cake after her.
This cake was allegedly invented by Anna, the Duchess of Bedford (1788-1861) as a kind of courtship to the queen.
Victoria cake consists of two layers of sponge cake with a layer of jam, so it is sometimes called "Victoria sandwich".
5- Elizabeth cake
Since there is a cake invented by Queen Victoria, known as "Mother of Europe" because her descendants belong to most of the royal and princely families in Europe today, there is also the cake of Queen Elizabeth.
British novels indicate that there is a difference about the beginning of the creation of Elizabeth cake, as there are those who say that it was first made in 1952 when Crowning Elizabeth II was crowned Queen of Britain, while others believe that the beginning of making it was in 1937 when crowning King George II and Queen Elizabeth I (1558-1603) .
Supporters of the first account say that the cake was made at the request of Queen Elizabeth II, in order for its return to go in favor of the British Church, and the method of preparation was distributed with each cake sold, to be spread the recipe throughout the country.
Elizabeth cake is made from sugar, flour, dates, butter and eggs, and it is decorated with grated sugar and coconut.
6- Russian Charlotte cake
This dessert was invented by French chef Marie-Antoine Karimi, while working for the Russian Tsar Alexander I (1777-1825), in honor of Queen Charlotte, wife of the King of Great Britain, George III (1738-1820).
This dessert is served cold, and it consists of Bavarian cream in the middle of a layer of Savoy biscuit (called Lady Wenger biscuit).
7- Caesar Pies (Kaiser Shammarn)
These are Austrian pastries, which are small pieces of dough known as "Kaiser Shammarn", meaning Caesar pies, which have turned into a legend, and since 2014 they have been allocated an annual festival in the city of Elma to celebrate it.
According to historical accounts, the czar pies appeared in the nineteenth century, when the country was ruled by Emperor Franz Joseph and his wife Empress Cisse.

The novels say that Empress Cisse was passionate about sport and wanted from the palace kitchen to prepare a light calorie dessert, and when the pancakes came she was upset and pushed her to her husband for being creamy, but the emperor admired her, and from here she carried the name "Caesar pies" because it was Caesar who ate it.
And pancakes are a mixture of eggs, milk and flour, some of which are soft and the other thin, in the form of "pancake" candy, and sugar and butter are added to them as they are adorned with fresh strawberries and cooked plum, or served salty with venison, and this is a new approach now introduced by Austrian restaurants.
