This is an internet meme that can be traced back to the game Portal by Valve Software.(A good game I suggest you buy or at least try. In the game the super computer named GlaDOS promises that after you finish the trials she puts you through that cake will be supplied. As you progress through the game you find messages left by former test subjects telling you that "the cake is a lie." At first this phrase was used amongst Portal players but spread to forums. "The cake is a lie" is commonly used to say that you are working for a goal you will never meet. Looking for more info on this phrase I found a sweet song about the game and the quest for cake. Enjoy
