Cake eater comes from the often misunderstood and misattributed phrase, "Let them eat cake!". Many say it was spoken my Marie Antoinette while others say the quote was originally attributed to Maria Theresa of Spain. Supposedly during the French Revolution when the hungry french were begging for bread to eat Marie replied with "Let them eat cake."
According to Wikipedia, it is in reference to "oven cake" which was used to clean out the brick ovens when too much soot and creosote built up; therefore she was saying "Let them eat crap," because she could care less about their hunger.
As the phrase has been misunderstood, many believed that she was saying, "Let them eat cake"; meaning, if they have no bread then let them eat cake, as her wealth and privilege did not allow her to understand that if the poor could not buy bread then they could also not afford cake. Because of this understanding people not of the bourgeoisie refer to the upper class as "cake eaters", people who are so wealthy and clueless of the difficulty that being poor can bring.

A derogitory term used towards those who live in Edina, Minnesota, due to the stereotype that all of the people are white, rich, stuck up school, who shows off their wealth by bragging about their new iPhone and their daily cup of Starbucks. Now not all students are rich spoiled brats, some of which are some of the nicest people whom you could ever meet.
Being from Edina, I laughed at all the other definitons, because they were pretty true. I probably laughed a little too much, but that's Edina for you. I am apart of the group that think. It's more like one half stuck up brats, the other half, insane people who pretty much are the living definition of Tumblr... (i.e. me, and my friends)

White kids, usually from the suburbs who wear von dutch trucker hats cocked to the side, tight baseball shirts, and college hoodies, and listen to shitty pop-punk such as good charlotte and blink 182, and they usually skateboard and have that shaggy ashton kutcher hair, and watch the o.c.

A homosexual male. A double entendre because cake is not a particularly masculine food and cake eater kind of sounds like cock eater.
