Have your cake and eat it too

It depends on what kind it is.

Depends on what sort of cake it is. If it is strong, strong, ginger, I'll have it regardless. If it is wickedly chocolate, I'll have it too If as above, with ginger added - great! Serve it up! If it is a rich, dark fruit cake, I'll have it ... if it is moist. If it is any other sort of cake ... who made it? ... maybe ... Have your cake and eat it too? Well, now, if I am really craving a ginger cake but I don't have one, I can sit here and drool. However, if I get up and bake one, in about an hour I'll have my cake. Then Dawn comes knocking on my door and I'm not going to share my precious cake, so I leave it to cool. When Dawn has finally gone, I'll go back to my cake. I have my cake. I eat it too!

I can have a cake temporarily and store it in the fridge for a day or so and then I'll be able to eat it then. ..so technically, I can have my cake and eat it too. See, what a genius I am..................not!!

Theres cake?????? Oh man I always miss out!!!

Well - a half of a loaf is better than none! OR: A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

I am not a cake lover but if there's a cake --i will definitely eat it while it's still freshly baked. i don't like the taste of leftover cakes-- those extra cakes being put inside the refrigerator and will be eaten the next day... not good texture and taste.

But if you have the ingredients and the recipe you could bake one while you eat one, so as you eat your cake you could have one too... One is past and one is future and then there is the present one which is Yummm! A gift to the eyes and the tummy...

I always thought this was a stupid saying...I mean, what's the point of having it if you don't eat it?

oh oh h h hh the stomach pain ah oh wow. I went out with my friends to lunch and I overate, I am a diabetic and should have known better. I stopped when I was full,so in a sense I ate my cake but I still thought oh this is a fish platter and that cannot run my blood sugar up. wrong I could not have all that was on my platter and have normal blood sugar. oh oh my tummy, my blood sugar went up to 275 that is way way too high, 120 might have been okay. so either I eat less and have lower blood sugar or I eat my cake, in this case a whole platter of shrimp, mussels and two enormous breaded rolls of some kind of fish, anyway it is still splashing around in my tummy. I am now thinking even if I had had one piece of cake it might not have done as much damage as that whole platter of food. Too late smart. Had I stayed stopped when I felt full I would have been fine, but I kept picking at things while we were laughing and having so much fun and suddenly I felt almost ill. too much food.

At least half the cake..lol..that way you can have your cake and eat it too.

I personally would eat it. I love chocolate, especially when it comes to cakes. There is this little french desert shop near our house, and we visit it regularly to get some cakes and tarts and such. They have a wide selection of deserts to choose from, and they are all REALLY delicious. Whenever I go, I always love getting the chocolate cakes.

Well I'm always baking them but rarely eat them, as I do them for my son who adores my cakes, but has to put in his share with mixer duty and any tedious grating. Maybe it's the cold though but I've started having a slice of rich spice fruit cake with butter (not oil) on top and I can eat that and there's still plenty left. Shall I send you a piece?

eating cake is fun but also dangerous, my friend ... you can get the disease from weight problems to diabetes

ye ,i like cake,especial fruit cake,but wherever some stuff,you can't eat a lots,that is very important,so we must keep balance of food,that is my suggestion.

Let them eat cake! That's what I would prefer...no wasting in my house! LOL....

Hi dawnald, I agree, I rather take my cake and eat, sponge ones, plain one and chococlate ones, which one do you like? I have the sponge cake with cream in them, lol! Tamara

I would eat it too, after all what’s the point of having the cake if you are not going to enjoy it? I heard on the radio a few months ago that the original saying was “Have your cake and eat it too” Don’t know if that’s true but I guess it means the same thing, can’t have it both ways.

well, personally, i would eat it. Only if i baked it for the first time. i mean, i bake cakes and pastries and from what i have learned in an anime i watched, and it really is true, it asks a question that (paraphrased)goes something like "To whom do you first give a delicious-looking cake/pastry?" You see, the background would be when a father came home to tell that question to his children who are already famished, he ate the food in front of them and not even gave them something to eat. You see, the answer to that question would be "yourself." why? because the food only looks delicious and you have not even tasted it yourself. But when you have already tasted it and know that it really is delicious, then you would not hesitate to give it to the person whom you would like to eat it. Well, the moral of the whole show is that for a baker, like me, its always better if you eat the cake rather than give it to others without tasting it or letting it just spoil. Well, a long explanation and story, but to make it simple, just eat the cake - especially if you baked it yourself. Tastes differently from the ones you see and buy from stores.
