He is the patron Saint of lost things as his name in greek means: Fanourios from fanerwnw=find or reveal something. The maker of the cake needs to make it 3 times & offer it to church to be blessed by the priest. It should then be shared with the congregation and other people-family, neighbours and friends. That's if the cake maker wants to have any hope that his "lost object or person" may be found. Through the years "lost objects" have taken on a metaphorical meaning: luck, destiny, good health, happiness, marriage, anything you look for!! For good luck and to find your lost objects, the cake traditionally should include 7,9 or 11 ingredients. So when you eat the cake, your teeth find things in it! This is my family's recipe belonging to my great-granny Calliope
