cakewalk

A traditional game played mostly in the southern United States at fairs and church socials, similar to musical chairs. There are numbers in a circle on the floor and contestants walk along the numbers until the music stops playing. At that time, a number is drawn and the person standing on that number wins a cake and leaves the game.

Used to indicate that something is extremely easy.

Is there going to be a cakewalk at the fair?

That test was a cakewalk.
