Maybe someone who has a birthday brings a birthday cake ... Of course, I'm just guessing here but that would make sense.

It is a carry on item. Why would you care what they bring as long as it passes through a TSA security inspection and the candles aren't lit. Are there a lot of cake bombs on your airline or do you have something against colorful frosting?

An airline flight is not a military mission that would involve evasive maneuvers that could damage a cake. Many food vendors in airline terminals sell cake and, indeed, many other types of food that is permitted onboard planes. Maybe customers HAVE lost their minds when they think they can have a relaxing, positive experience onboard an airline flight while bringing something as radical as a birthday cake.
