When they say there is cake, but there is an alternate motive that usually ends in ones humiliation/demise.
Jeffrey Bonheimer: Man, I am so glad my ex-wife decided to invite me over to her basement for cake, even though I won the custody battle over the children!
Evan Sailhamer: Jeff man, isn't it obvious?
Jeffrey Bon-whatever: Is what obvious Easy E?
Easy Evan: The cake is a lie man. Like, it is blatantly obvious

A reference from the game Portal, all through the game you are told their's cake at the end. Once you get there -SPOILERS- there is no cake :( so it was a lie. This became a saying amongst gamers when something doesn't go as planed.
You try to capture a flag but there's a enemy camping there you didn't see before and he kills you.
You scream the cake was a lie!!!

The Cake is a lie: To have a Cake you need time and money. Therefore: money + time = Cake
According to smart people, time is money.
Therefore: 2time = Cake
According to other smart people, time goes on forever.
This indicating: time = infinity
Therefore: 2infinity = Cake
Because no person has achieved infinity, let alone 2infinity. The Cake is not possible.

What most people online don't seem to fully understand, is that it is not just a fictitious reward, but also a silly, frivolous reward in the face of great risk and danger.
"Ivan told me if I broke into a Russian FSB computer, they have a Special Edition of the Urban Dictionary, with the correct definition of 'the cake is a lie!'" "Sorry Tovarish, we can't risk the chance you found out anything valuable, you must now eat this uranium yellowcake" "That kind of cake isn't for eating, it will poison me!" "Yes, well in your search for 'the cake is a lie', the cake was a lie."

An experience embodying thoughts and emotions that occurs in the moment, but is followed by a humbling experience.
The written language is the most powerful form of language.
The cake is a lie.
The embodiment of cake is not in the cake itself. Cake is delicious, but not satisfying without the experience that usually accompanies cake. When you have cake, it is not the cake that creates the most magnificent of experiences, but it is the emotions attached to it. Celebration with friends, the social interaction usually surrounding a joyous occasion. Without this interaction between the cake and the world, the cake would just be any other pastry. However, cake can be enjoyed by some but not by others in any social interaction. Each perspective is unique to each individual.
The cake is a lie.
A cake alone can be enjoyed, but not in the sense that cake should be.
As I walked down the coast, walking her hand in mine, my heart was filled, my mind content, and in that moment I was happy.
As I walked away from her, alone to my car, I knew the emotions experienced by being with her were untrue. Her thoughts and feelings were not mine.
The cake was delicious, the experience wonderful, but in the end, it was still just cake.
