You want it or not, you feel tempted to enjoy a delicious dessert. The atmosphere is relaxing, all you want is to rest, drink hot tea or coffee and savour a slice of sweet-smelling pastry.
Or enjoy it after lunch or dinner. Generally a tradition to eat sweet food originates from Europe since the 19th century, and it happened due to increase in sugar production. Till that time only the rich class had a privilege to enjoy sweet food.
At poorer peoples’ tables pastries and other desserts were as festive meal, that resulted in the custom to decorate sweet dishes as bright and rich as possible.
