Herman cake
Herman cake (often called simply Herman) is a 'friendship cake', similar to the Amish Friendship Bread, for which the ingredients are passed from person to person (like a chain letter) and which continues to grow as it contains yeast and lactic acid bacteria. One starter can, in theory, last indefinitely. The other ingredients for the mixture are milk, sugar, flour and warm water. They became popular in the 1970s.
Herman sits on a worktop for ten days and is not refrigerated. Due to the amount of yeast that it contains it smells distinctly of beer. The Herman cake can 'breathe' when covered loosely with a tea-towel and left out on the worktop and stirred occasionally. This 'breathing' occurs because of the yeast in the Herman cake, and the cake mixture frequently bubbles.
When someone receives Herman from a friend, "he" will be presented in a small jar or plastic tub along with a set of instructions to guide them through the next ten days with the Herman cake mixture. After four days additional ingredients are added and stirred, and again after another four days. On the ninth day, Herman is divided into equal parts (four or five) and all but one of these parts are passed along to friends. The last part is kept and on the tenth day is cooked. Many ingredients can be added to Herman before the procedure of cooking the Herman cake. These ingredients can vary from eggs, cinnamon, apples, chocolate, and cherries to make Herman sweet or olives and sun-dried tomatoes for a savoury taste.
Cake (advertisement)
Cake is a television and cinema advertisement launched in 2007 by Škoda Auto to promote the new second-generation Fabia supermini car in the United Kingdom. The 60-second spot forms the centrepiece of an integrated advertising campaign comprising appearances on television, in cinemas, in newspapers and magazines, online, and through direct marketing. The campaign and its component parts were handled by the London branch of advertising agency Fallon Worldwide. Cake was directed by British director Chris Palmer. Production was contracted to Gorgeous Enterprises, with sound handled by Wave Studios. It premiered on British television on 17 May 2007.
The campaign was a critical, popular, and financial success. It has been credited for the significant improvements in awareness and public opinion of the brand, and received honours from a number of advertising festivals and awards ceremonies, including several from the British Television Advertising Awards, the Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival, and the Creative Circle Awards.

Cake (or Cake TV) was a sitcom and How-to television series that originally aired on the KOL's Secret Slumber Party and KEWLopolis lineup on CBS.

Only 13 episodes of this series were produced; In 2007, when asked about the show, series producer and writer Susie Singer Carter said that the show was in its second season.
