Famous Cakes in Movies and TV

Cakes in movies hold a special place in the world of cinematic storytelling. 90s Kids will remember the giant chocolate cake from Matilda. I clearly remember watching that poor youngster face off against a mountain of chocolate. Little me stared at the screen in horror, while Miss Trunchbull loomed over him with a threatening smirk. It’s one of those well-known cakes in movies that are equal parts shocking and hilarious. 

Famous cakes from movies could be the center of a comedic disaster or a symbol of victory. However, cakes always manage to leave a lasting impression on us. So in the name of fun, let’s take a delicious dive into the most iconic cake moments in movie history.

A New Year and New Cake Flavors in 2025

Can I be bold enough to say that in my world, cake and art are one in the same? Like art, cake has the ability to draw people together in awe and wonder. It’s a delicious human creation that speaks to signs of the time. In the 21st century, cake has become a symbol for mortal emotion. Whether generations are coming together to sing and celebrate around a birthday cake, or a group of girls are slicing into a “Galentine’s Day” cake to bask in the joys of singlehood. Cake is a constant compliment to any event. And don’t get me started on cake flavors – there’s one for every mood (and time of day).

Cake flavors in 2025 include matcha green tea cakes and treats.
