"Well, that takes the cake", a response of dismay when someone has done something unworthy that you don't expect of them.

"You can't have your cake and eat it too", advice for someone who expects to have the whole benefit of something even after they used it, enjoyed it, or consumed it.

"They're selling like hotcakes!", simply means that something is selling far more quickly than excepted; sales are robust.

"Let them eat cake!", a response attributed to Marie Antoinette when advised that her people were starving and had no bread. It is used to deride a public official or other authority figure who appears indifferent to the needs of those who look to them for help.

"A piece of cake!", a response to a task assigned or description of a task completed that may seem extremely difficult, but not to the person saying it.
