Supposedly dubbed by Marie Antoinette during the French Revolution. When citizens complained to her that the peasants were starving and that she should give them bread, she replied, "Let them eat cake!"
It is now used as a nickname for all people who live in Edina, MN. Although meant to be an insult (for the dominantely white, rich, and stuck-up high school), many students from Edina now take pride in it. Example: An Edina sports shirt that read, "Cake: Breakfast of Champions"
This term is most well known by its reference to Edina native Adam Banks in "The Mighty Ducks."

Circa 1998, a group of post Ohio University grads were throwing a wine and cheese party while their drunken and high roommates looked on from the patio below. A party goer proceeded to scream " Do you guys want cake?", and our response was f-u, bunch of "cake-eaters"! By definition, this is person whom enjoys finer things, and acts like they can afford it:)
If you are slumming it at a tailgate, and see a a guy/girl eating wine and cheese, he/she is a cake-eater.
