Single Cut in Cake

Hi Nathaniel, I'm just making this in response to your poll. The cut doesn't make the cake a slice, because the cake is already a slice.

Thanks. I just had to know.

But how can it be a slice if it hasn't been sliced yet, hmm?

The definition has drifted from its original meaning to include a portion or fraction of something, which I extend to the whole.

How do we even define a cake. While inter-molecular forces can be strong, even in a refrigerated slice of sweet sweet confectionery, molecular kinetic energy or heat and Brownian motion causes molecules to momentarily break and replace intermolecular bonds. While macroscopically it seems there is a coherent piece of cake, there may be trillions or quadrillions of cakes at any given time and temperature.

In response to your newest poll also, a triple layered cake is definitely not a sandwich because it is just a continuation of the cake. You can't call three slices of bread a sandwich.

But what if the cake has a filling between two layers?

Then it's a sandwich.

What if we have 3 stacked slices of bread. Is that a ... bread sandwich?

Good question I don't think so but I may be wrong
