Also, Marie Antoinette evidently did not say “Let them eat cake” when told that the people had no bread. She may have said something like: “Qu'ils mangent de la brioche” or “Laissez-les manger la brioche” or even “Donnez-alors leur la brioche” but she wasn't talking about cake. Brioche is a soft, light-textured bread made from eggs, butter, flour, and yeast and formed into a roll or a bun.
