Normally it wouldn't be. Cheesecake has a history of causing problems though. Remember this gem from the dark days of 2002?
Cheesecake rage
At the operations center in Elk Grove Township, an e-mail arrived from a United 777 captain. Not for the first time, he wanted the bosses to know, the support crew at the Dulles International Airport hub had messed up.
“They are boarding plain cheesecake, with no topping of any kind, with the crew meals, ” the pilot wrote. The flight crew was supposed to get the same dessert as business-class passengers, he noted, and “business-class… this day got cheesecake with a caramel-nut topping.
I'm sure there isn't an F/A in the industry that would have looked forward to dealing with that guy at feeding time.
