No, they were probably just fat and needed an excuse to eat a cake.

If they were fat, they would just eat the cake without having to specify their intentions with it.

The cake is actually very trustworthy.

I hate the wording if that phrase. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Literally it doesn't make any sense but metaphorically I guess it does.

I hate this saying and I hate the saying "It's always in the last place you look" No shit, why would I keep looking. I get what it means but I still hate it.

Originally it referred to a wedding cake. Think about having a really beautiful and intricately designed cake. It almost seems a shame to eat it, right? But you can't have it (as in keep it fully intact) and eat it at the same time.

Well the smash the cake in the face tradition must have came after this saying.
