| Bible | Cake Cakes made of wheat or barley were offered in the temple. They were salted, but unleavened (Ex. 29:2; Lev. 2:4). In idolatrous worship thin cakes or wafers were offered "to the queen of heaven" (Jer. 7:18; 44:19). Pancakes are described in 2 Sam. 13:8, 9. Cakes mingled with oil and baked in the oven are mentioned in Lev. 2:4, and "wafers unleavened anointed with oil," in Ex. 29:2; Lev. 8:26; 1 Chr. 23:29. "Cracknels," a kind of crisp cakes, were among the things Jeroboam directed his wife to take with her when she went to consult Ahijah the prophet at Shiloh (1 Kings 14:3). Such hard cakes were carried by the Gibeonites when they came to Joshua (9:5, 12). They described their bread as "mouldy;" but the Hebrew word _nikuddim_, here used, ought rather to be rendered "hard as biscuit." It is rendered "cracknels" in 1 Kings 14:3. The ordinary bread, when kept for a few days, became dry and excessively hard. The Gibeonites pointed to this hardness of their bread as an evidence that they had come a long journey. We read also of honey-cakes (Ex. 16:31), "cakes of figs" (1 Sam. 25:18), "cake" as denoting a whole piece of bread (1 Kings 17:12), and "a [round] cake of barley bread" (Judg. 7:13). In Lev. 2 is a list of the different kinds of bread and cakes which were fit for offerings. Source: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary. | ||

| Literature | 1: "A churn-dish stuck into the earth supported on its flat end a cake, which was to become the prize of the best dancer.... At length the competitors yielded their claims to a young man... who, taking the cake, placed it gallantly in the lap of a pretty girl to whom... he was about to be married."- Bartlett and Coyne: Scenery and Antiquities of Ireland, vol. ii. p. 64. 2: Cake A fool, a poor thing. (cf. HALF-BAKED.) 3: Cake To take the cake. To carry off the prize. The reference is to the prize-cake to the person who succeeded best in a given competition. In Notes and Queries (Feb. 27th, 1892, p. 176) a correspondent of New York tells us of a "cake walk" by the Southern negroes. It consists of walking round the prize cake in pairs, and umpires decide which pair walk the most gracefully. In ancient Greece a cake was the award of the toper who held out the longest. 4: In Ireland the best dancer in a dancing competition was rewarded, at one time, by a cake. 5: You cannot eat your cake and have it too. You cannot spend your money and yet keep it. You cannot serve God and Mammon. 6: Your cake [or my cake] is dough. All my swans are turned to geese. Occisa est res tua [or mea].
