Is the arm of a gypsy cake racist? Well no. It was invented in Barcelona and is precisely a sign of identity. It turns out that, in the nineteenth century, Barcelona Boilermakers were mostly gypsies. They passed by the bakeries offering their services. Following payment arrangements for boilers and pans, confectioners gave away the remains of the days cakes wrapped in a sheet of rolled cake. Gypsies went with the gift and confectioners said, "What a good cake in the gypsy's arm!". The phrase and the rolled cake triumphed, and marketed, became a very popular pastry. So racist, nothing!
