Cakes in movies hold a special place in the world of cinematic storytelling. 90s Kids will remember the giant chocolate cake from Matilda.

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.
