Get the the cake is a lie mug.Used as a rebuttal to anyone, usually a 4chan frequenter, who says "the cake is a lie." It is usually said by someone that has actually completed the game "Portal" in which, upon completion, one sees a cutscene showing that the cake is, in fact, not a lie.
4chan troll: "TEH CAEK IZ A LIE!"
Tyrone: "Excuse me good sir, I've completed 'Portal' and let me tell you, the cake is not a lie."

The Cake Cult Is a religion started from the meme “Now I know what’s real and what’s cake”. The cake cult prides in the belief that everything living and non living is entirely made of cake. Though we’re made of cake we’re still eat it. Even in its original form. Though people may look down on our religion we still respect there’s even if what we are is fact.

Get the The Cake Is Not A Lie mug.a phrase meaning something to the effect of "you know that thing you where promised to be rewarded after you completed this task? well, it doesn't exist". could also be described as being trolled. the term was coined by the video game Portal in which your player would navigate through a labyrinth of tests while being driven to continue by the promise of cake. towards the end of the game, i becomes clear that there is in fact no cake and your efforts where in vain.
