What is cake?

DeSpereaux

After a bunch of mental-acrobatics and complex-philosophical consideration. I have decided to challenge this idea, at least in my own mind, of what cake is..

Does a cake always have to be sweet, and not savoury, or can it also be savoury? If the former is true, who made it so, and are they correct..?

If there is no patron of the cake, if there is no rule on sweetness being the core-component, then is it we who have created this guise which enshrouds the true-nature and potential of cake. If there is a sin present, in the presentation of cake as savoury, have we not created the sin in believing that it so..?

So I ask you this, what do you see, when you envision a cake that is savoury and why?

    The first line of your comment, in particular, 'ca-a-a-a-a-a-a-ake' reminds me of an advert that had been done a few years ago for Children In Need.

    The advert featured a young boy that I considered truly adorable. He was full of enthusiasm and confidence, with a smile that would melt the frostiest of hearts. The boy's role was to explain the various ways that people could raise money, such as by having a cake sale. When he said the word 'cake', it was in such an endearingly excited and animated way that it just added to his charm.
