My policy on cake is pro having it and pro eating it.

I'm not much of a cake person.

When someone asks if you'd like cake or pie, why not say you want cake and pie?

I was a fat child and loved cake, perhaps because it was the only sweet thing in my life.

Let them eat cake.

In all honesty my cake was baking when I met Al - I had made up in my mind already to get physically healthy. He refreshingly was on his own journey so it was almost as if we walked together.

I'm not advocating we should all be back in the kitchen and cooking all the time, because life's too short and we've got more interesting things to do. But to rediscover the intense pleasure of making a cake and putting it down on the table is ridiculously satisfying, out of all proportion to the work.

So if I have two pieces of cake, do I have twice as good an experience as the first piece of cake? One of the things I've found in life is that the first piece of cake is the best.

We'll take the cake with the red cherry on top.

I had a kid, so I had to step it up and get that cake.
