Default Cake -What!

Good grief, it seems there is nothing without a double meaning these days.

"Birthday Cake Emoji Meaning
A frosted cake with lit candles, as presented for a birthday celebration. The style of cake widely varies across platforms, though it usually has white frosting icing and strawberries,
Apple and Google’s designs suggest a Japanese Christmas cake. Other vendors depict a chocolate, pink, and/or sponge cake.
Can occasionally be used as a playful reference to a person's "buttocks," inspired by the slang term "cake." "

:I hate the term "frosting" another Americanism. It's "icing". I blame bakeoff for this crime but I forgive you Gary

Not my words John but amended anyway. I'm with you on the "frosting" thing.

"Frosting" suggests something bellow freezing, and nobody wants a cake that cold. I know it's meant tio look like a layer of ice, hence icing being a much more appropriate term.
