  • Where I come from, a cake eater is an affluent person (or any person from a previously affulent family, regardless of current social standing) of European (probably not eastern European, however) background. Also sometimes referred to as a WASP. My mother's side of the family always referred to my father's side of the family as cake eaters. Maybe that makes me a cupcake eater...
