cakes
Tiered birthday treats
Cakes are sweet baked goods made from flour, sugar, eggs, and fat—typically layered, frosted, or decorated for celebrations: birthday cake, wedding cake.
A cake can also be a flat, compact mass: cake of soap, crab cake, rice cake.
As a verb, to cake is to form a crusty layer: Mud caked on his boots.
Something easy is a piece of cake.
Cakewalk similarly suggests effortlessness.
