I still love red velvet cake.
I want people to fall in love with themselves and to be really proud and full of joy for the space they take up. If someone else appreciates the space you take up, then that’s icing on the cake.

I’m gluten-free, dairy-free, and I try to keep a low-sugar diet, although from time to time, I’ll have a bite of cake – you know, I’m human.
My childhood dream was to win the Olympics, and I’ve done that. Everything else is icing on the cake.
At her birthday, my seven-year-old daughter will say that she wants these big cakes and certain expensive toys as presents, and I can’t say no to her. It would just break my heart. But when I was little, for birthdays we just played outside and we were happy if we got any cake.
In the South, I think, food mirrors our lives. When I was growing up, no matter what you were grieving or celebrating, my mama would be at the door with a cake or a pie.
How could anyone not use the humble chestnut at Christmas? It has a great flavour and can be used to make chocolate cake more festive.

I’m not really a cake man. I’m more a savoury guy.
If I’m forced to leave West Ham, it will be done according to the rules – the club will have its share of the cake.
Don’t let the American twang fool you. I still say, ‘I’m going home,’ when I come to England, and I love a good old cup of PG Tips with a Jaffa Cake.
I have a very big sweet tooth and I love treating myself to something that I wouldn’t necessarily eat during the tournament such as a nice-sized cake.
My mother still sends a cake to the office for my birthday.
Photographing a cake can be art.
I eat cake every day.
In any other context, ‘icing’ is a great and exciting word: The proverbial icing on the cake, for instance, is a bonus – a wonderful thing on top of another wonderful thing. But in hockey, icing merely results in the referee’s raising his right hand, as if swearing an oath to the deity of downtime.
I like birthday cake. It’s so symbolic. It’s a tempting symbol to load with something more complicated than just ‘Happy birthday!’ because it’s this emblem of childhood and a happy day.

I have never baked. I have cooked thousands of meals big and small, but I have never cooked a cookie. I have never roasted a cake, or a pie.
I’m ready for Anthony Joshua. Hopefully he’s overlooking me, thinking I’ll be a piece of cake. It’s a whole different ballgame when they’re in the ring with me. Once they see the speed and accuracy I have, I know I will shock him a lot.
I’d prefer to cook for friends at home than go to a restaurant. My mum is a feeder and I get it from her – I know when I visit her there will be three different types of home-made cake waiting for me.
I used to eat, like, a whole Entenmann’s cake at one time with a half-gallon of milk.
I have the biggest sweet tooth! You name it, I will eat it. My all-time favorite is my mother’s butter cake. Every time I go home, my mom will already have the cake made because I love it so much. This makes my siblings mad because they think she favors me. I don’t care because she probably does!
People are used to seeing me with Sue but for Sue and me, the most important thing is always going to be our friendship. We were mates at university – very close mates – long before we did any telly. The work is like a nice little cherry on the cake.
We’re moving away from the one-dimensional nature for women. It used to be that you were known for one thing – a cultural thing, the way you walk, talk or look. Now everybody is allowed to be a layer cake.
Chocolate fondant, creme brule, and sponge cake with jam, cream and fresh berries are always winners.
There is something wonderful about the way you glaze a fruit cake, nonchalantly drop some orange on as a topping, dust the sugar on top of a sponge cake or fan the apples on a tart.
These are big trade-offs for a simple piece of cake – add five hundred calories, subtract well-being, allure, and self-esteem – and the feelings behind them are anything but vain or shallow.
I would be more slender if I didn’t eat a bit of chocolate or a cake now and again, but I’m not one of those crazy women who just eat watercress soup – I need to chomp.
I always loved cake. I loved the chemistry of it.

I’ll have wine or a piece of cake once in a while, but I don’t look at it as sliding backwards, even if I go a whole week without working out. I don’t dwell on it and beat myself up – I just try to have a healthier day tomorrow.
I receive really powerful personal letters. I think that always takes the cake. It blows me away… some of the comments. Someone will come and I sense their whole tone and energy when they’re handing me this letter.
It’s not easy to make the playoffs, and I think a lot of people overlook that. They think it’s a piece of cake, but it’s definitely not.
The dream is to have it all. Who says you can’t have your cake and eat it too? Live this life, that life, this life, you know? You only live one time – I want to get it all in.
You can freeze a nice sponge cake and then have a strawberry shortcake any time.
The Hell in a Cell match that always sticks in my mind is the original Michaels versus Undertaker match. It was really something. The bout itself was so good, while Kane’s debut made it even more memorable. That takes the cake in terms of Hell in a Cell matches.
Early, when I first started wrestling, I wanted to be a combination of Sting and the Ultimate Warrior: The Ultimate Warrior’s craziness and weird personality and Sting’s coolness and the way he carried himself to the ring. But then later on, when it came to physicality and athleticism, Shawn Michaels topped the cake.
The world title in a second weight division and a win in America is just the icing on the cake of my career.
When it comes to the awards and everything, and the press, the publicity, this is all icing on the cake to me.
We ourselves hold the instrument that makes us fat. I just shake my head when I see someone eating cake and saying, ‘Oh, I wish I wasn’t heavy.’ But they keep eating the cake!
The thought of bringing a cake into a dance music show is a bizarre one. The idea of rafting on top of people is just as bizarre as well. And I think whenever something bizarre comes into play, it immediately becomes an easy target. And for those reasons, I know that I have been the target of criticism.
Mom still has a huge, beautifully decorated Christmas tree. The whole family comes together after midnight mass and has the traditional plum cake and wine. We spend the night at mom’s home, and in the morning we wake up and open the presents. In the afternoon, we sit down to have a traditional Christmas lunch.
If all I hired were cake decorators, our cakes would just look like cakes that people decorate. We do astounding work at Charm City Cakes and to do that you need people who think in astounding ways. Artists just think in different ways.
We’ll take the cake with the red cherry on top.
Always give them the old fire, even when you feel like a squashed cake of ice.
Only when I saw I could be the first one to win five world cup races in a row did I get some extra motivation to go for it. And after winning five, I said to myself, ‘Why not win them all?’ The icing on the cake was the World Championship at the end.
After Rio, I joined the gymnastics team at the University of Utah. It was a hard transition, because I’ve always competed in elite gymnastics, where we throw big skills. In college, you don’t get any points for difficulty, but once I got the hang of it, it was a piece of cake.
People have often asked me whether what I know about love has spoiled it for me. And I just simply say, ‘Hardly.’ You can know every single ingredient in a piece of chocolate cake, and then when you sit down and eat that cake, you can still feel that joy.
My favourite food actually is chocolate cake. I need to have a slice of chocolate cake every single day, without fail.
I never got a chocolate birthday cake; I got a carob one. And when I went to other kids’ houses, I was very covetous of things like Cheez Whiz that I’d find in their refrigerators.
