A pie chart is called a pie chart because it looks like a piece of pie cut into sections... It ISN'T called a cake chart, because a cake chart would be to controversial. - iow (in other words) - a cake can be multi-layered, or it can have fancy icing, or even small figures or toys... Where as a pie is almost always flat (depending on the pie), never has fancy icing, and is never multi-layered...

To put it another way, a cake chart would be hard to explain, where as a pie chart is what everyone is familiar with, and almost no explaining is required... Put's less pressure on everyone to just pie chart.
