According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cakes_and_Ale) there are two books with the same title. The more famous of the two is (William) Somerset Maugham's novel Cakes and Ale: or, the Skeleton in the Cupboard, published in 1930.

The other is a collection of recipes by Edward Spencer (who also wrote as Nathaniel Gubbins), first published in 1897 (http://tinyurl.com/yk3an26 [Google Books] ).

The title is taken from a remark by Sir Toby Belch in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, itself an allusion to one of Aesop's fables.
