I have often wondered why this phrase has come to mean easy? Making a cake certainly isnt easy unless you use a ready made mix but these werent around when this expression came about. Eating a cake is easy - maybe the phrase came about from the ease of eating a yummy cake. The first time this
expression was used in print was by Ogden Nash in 'Primrose Path' (1936). He wrote 'Her picture's in the papers now, and life's a piece of cake. My guess is that these expressions relate to the "good life" of sitting around at one's leisure eating dessert - rather than a reference to the ease of making and baking.
