It was during the 17th century that travel cakes such as madeleines and financiers sprouted their roots, where the more privileged craved for something that could ease their discomfort during their prolonged periods of traveling. In that manner, the gâteau de voyage was created. A dessert, or a cake that could withstand many days of travel (8 to 30 days) without refrigeration.
