To not like cake.

American pies are perfection. Apple, cherry, blueberry, pumpkin. Always just the right mix of tart and sweet.

I find British cakes cloyingly sweet.

WTH. This has nothing to do with America. American cakes are wonderful. Leave us out of this! UK has its own tradition of going full hog / overdosing with sugar from the Caribbean slave trade. Golden syrup anyone?

I don’t think it’s actually that uncommon.

I like cake (obviously not all flavours though) but it has to be good cake or I just don’t see the point! Iv had so so so many disappointing slices sometimes quite expensive from cafes where everything else is lovely and therefore expectations were high then it’s been dry and crap! so now I don’t have it very often.
I also really dislike that icing you get folded over birthday cakes fondant?

my family member is like you, she a great cook and baker but has no interest in cake but would smash a cheesecake to bits haha.

my other family member doesn’t like chips! That I find a bit odd but then I love a well made chip. Saying that he doesn’t really like most potato type things but would eat an entire pan of rice pudding which would give be the projectile bokes

each to their own eh

Come to think of it, I also love cheesecake, but not the baked variety, don’t like that, and I also really like lemon drizzle cake. If it is drenched with lemon syrup, or sticky toffee pudding, which I’m not sure if the latter is actually a cake or not, but does have a sponge ..

also sticky/iced buns or pastries, not a fan and find them a bit dry too.

That’s actually just like my DH. His birthday is either a cheesecake, or a bunch of circular cheeses piled on top of each other lol

I’ll eat it 😂

I bloody love the right cake. I’m not a fan of fancy cakes, just a big standard victoria sponge with fresh cream and jam. Or butter icing. That’s my main thing, I can take or leave the cake for butter icing!

My thing that I don’t like that everyone else in the world seems to enjoy is coffee.

Love cheesecake, it’s not too sweet and can have it with soft fruits and nuts. But actual cake makes me feel sick.

I like proper cake made with eggs and butter - not the flavourless oversweetened bought stuff.
And desserts are too fancy in restaurants - just a crème brûlée -no need to add rasps or anything, or good icecream with butterscotch sauce -no need for mango or green tea flavour.

I love GOOD cake, but it’s increasingly hard to find. And given most cake these days is dry, doesn’t taste great, and has a hard crust, I can definitely understand what you’re saying.

However, I do love a moist and tasty cake. I find banana cake with dark chocolate chips is fantastic, as the banana keeps it moist.

I also had a very nice Guinness cake at the weekend.

Well inside the cake s a filling is what I use it for when making a Victoria sandwich. The top gets a dusting of sugar and no more.

@Chypre I love prinsesstårta but haven't found a good source in the UK!

I firmly believe that (melted) butter goes inside the cake, not on top of it. Are we starting cake wars? (light hearted!)

Buttercream is fine as long as it’s made with butter, and vanilla extract rather than essence.

Don’t like ice cream either as makes my teeth hurt. And can’t stand cheese. So dessert menus are one big disappointment.

I don’t like cake either. Always awkward when family buy me a birthday cake and I’d rather have chocolate/crisps/fruit crumble with custard (drool) instead.

The one exception is my MiL’s ginger cake which I could eat all day (and have done).

Oh yes Colin (Other caterpillars are available! ) is very overrated imo!

It could be that you haven't found your favourite cake yet! In certain conditions, I would give my arm and leg to have a piece of Swedish Princess Cake (prinsesstårta). But also, I would consider giving my arm (maybe not the leg....) in exchange for a guarantee that anything with buttercream would leave the face of the Earth, forever. Buttercream is just vile. It only exists because it is commercially convenient and can keep shape in the fridge for weeks, unlike chantilly.

I don't like cake either. I like making them for family/friends (and by my username you can tell I am not the best at it although they always taste nice!) but as for eating it myself, nope. I just don't think It's worth the calories! And I don't have much of a sweet tooth. I've enjoyed it the odd time, usually when I have been really hungry and It's been the only thing on offer, or occasionally at gatherings when someone has been kind enough to make a vegan creation and I'd been touched and wanted to try a small slice. But I'd never actively choose to have/buy any.

Absolutely. It's made me feel unsafe, too.

Mass produced cake=crap
A home made Victoria sponge with a strawberry jam and butter cream filling= heaven on earth 🥰🥰

I dont like cake either but will have a cinnamon bun now and again.
I dont like anything with chocolate in it dont like chocolate full stop.
I hate strawberry`s and anything that as strawberrys in it.
Cant stand any jams of any kind.
Im just not a sweet food person

Just to add to the heresy, I don’t like Yorkshire puddings either, and simply cannot see the point of them. For very similar reasons to not liking cake. It is just a bit meh to me.
