Celebrated on November 26 in the USA, Cake Day recognizes all kinds of cakes, from Bundts to sheet cakes, frosted or plain, homemade or bakery bought. Of Viking origin, the word “cake” is derived from Old Norse "kaka."

Established by the Food Network television channel in 2011 as a way to encourage people to enjoy and appreciate cakes, this day is best observed by baking and eating cake.
