The cakes were the anniversaries of the battle of Kulikovo, the feat of Ivan Susanin, the coronation of Nicholas II. There were "illiterate" gingerbread is misspelled. Convex figure, the inscription with meaning around the design make the carrot attractive.

Good sweet words on carrots — "sincerely", "anniversary", "love, give" — make the treat sweeter. So for centuries people recognized each other in love, courted and congratulated them on the holidays. Sweet words are honey for the test — nice looks mixed gingerbread work.
