Let them eat cake! (Or not!)

We had a delicious cake at morning tea today to celebrate some restructuring here in the office. So we were all chomping down the deliciousness and someone offered a piece to a new employee here and she proceeded to tell us that she wouldn't have any and couldn't stay because she had an intense phobia of sponge cake!?! Now I have a real sympathy for people who suffer from phobias but cake? Really?
