To not like cake.

I just don't see the attraction of cake. I don't like anything spongey or fairy cakes or tarts or anything.

I'm not virtuous. I'm overweight for my height as I love savoury things/ wine/ cheese/ carbs.

It's definitely not about trying to be 'good'. I just don't like it. But cake seems so everywhere and popular. I went to my mum's friend's house today and the cake she had made came out straight away. I feel rude saying that I don't like it - and I did have a small slice to be polite, but I just didn't and don't enjoy it.

I think maybe it's a texture thing. Anyone else?

Cake is stodgy and sort of unrefined. Can't stand the idea of homemade cake with people having touched it too many times to decorate etc. prefer chocolate

I agree. A massive salad doesn’t really do it for me unless the lettuce to bacon ratio is roughly equal.

Hmmm. I like the idea of cake, but 99.9% of the time it's massively disappointing. It's invariably too dry and toppings are invariably too sweet & add nothing to the dry cake.

I'm not a massive salad fan unless accompanied by pasta or bread

I also don’t like cake. Love beer, wine, crisps, chocolate, sweets. Don’t like cake

You might get some sympathy on Mumsnet though, as many posters much prefer a massive salad.

I'd actually like to like it. But I don't!

You're overthinking this

This is arguably the most unreasonable post I’ve ever seen on here.
