Cakes tend to come out when we're celebrating something. What's your favourite cake-eating occasion? With candles on your birthday? A fruity Christmas cake with a marzipan cover? Or a grand layered wedding cake?

Some cakes are a little less tasty. Bars of soap are sometimes called 'cakes'! Your boots can also be 'caked' with mud… yum.

When something 'a piece of cake' it's easy and when you get 'a slice of the cake', it means you share in the benefits of something.

'Having your cake and eating it' means enjoying two different things when you're not supposed to have both.

A 'cakewalk' is a sort of dance and also means an easy task. What do you think a cake dance might look like?

Why isn't a Jaffa cake a biscuit? Biscuits go soft when they get old and stale, but cakes go hard!

The world's biggest ever cake was made in Alabama in 1989, and weighed 58 tonnes, including more than seven tonnes of icing.

Do you remember the car advert where a car was made out of cake? Some parts were sponge cakes, others were made with rice crispies. The engine and wing mirrors were marzipan.

After all that, you must be feeling hungry. Make sure you can always ask for cake in any language!
