Let Them Eat Cake!
Chocolate Cake, Chocolatey Mistress, Church Matters June 4th, 2008Attributed variously to Marie Antoinette, Maria Theresa of Spain, and Jean Jacques Rousseau, this exhortation hurts. It brings into supposed disrepute all purveyors of cakey bakey goodness. Our Church has a view on this.
While Chocolate Cake is a fine food it is a food fit for the worship of The Chocolatey Mistress. It is not a staple food, nor a food to be taken lightly, for it is written “By your cake shall they know you.” Not just “by your cake, but by your words and deeds with cake, for cake is not simply a comestible but an offering of spirit.
It is important, therefore, to understand that, in the context here, saying “Let them eat cake” is a call to the faithful to bake and worship, and is not at all the oddly misunderstood throwaway line squandered so unwisely in days of yore.
Not just “Let them eat cake,” but “Let US eat cake!”

Is it okay to put chocolate frosting on angel food cake or does that make me a pervert?

There are discussions about Chocalitiness being held by The Grand Synod. For the present time one must separate Chocolate Cake and the worship of the Chocolatey Mistress by partaking thereof, and general eating of cake.
Certainly Chocolate Frosting, or Chocolate Icing, adds a worshipfulness to the more common cakes. The matter is still open. You may wish to offer thoughts reverently here to further the discussions.
Do not feel perverted. Cake is cake. Simply know that the cake you describe is not considered to be full worship.
