Cleveland's cassata diverges from the Sicilian original (ricotta, candied fruit, marzipan). Italian-American bakers in Little Italy adapted it to local strawberries and dairy cream from the early 1900s, with Presti's (1903) and Corbo's (1958) defining the modern Cleveland-Italian wedding-and-Christmas cake.
