Summary: This article explains that the famous quote "Let them eat cake"from Marie was actually not what she said. She was very kind hearted and she actually would not have said this. People could have easily have made this up because she had many enemies in France. It was her mother and Rousseau who actually said something close to that. They said "Let them eat an egg-based bread. This just goes to show how Marie was falsey accused for some of her scandals and that she was acutally a very nice and kind Queen.
