It may not seem like it, but you wouldn't want cake at every meal, or probably even every day. At a certain point, probably sooner than you think, you'd start to feel sick, the sweetness and heaviness just sitting in your stomach. But beyond that point, part of what makes the cake so delightful, such a treat, is that it isn't something you're eating all the time. Those things don't have the same attraction, the same pull to them that rarer items do. Expectation and longing can play a huge role in how we experience food, too. Think about it; when you have a craving for something, it's often something you haven't eaten in a while, right? And, while it depends on how well it's made, it probably tastes even better than you remember it many times.
So resist the urge to eat cake all the time. Your body will thank you.
