Can you manage a whole cake on whole cake day?

The 8th of each month is Whole Cake Day in Japan! Whole Cake Day is a relatively new addition to the Japan Anniversary Association's list of anniversaries. Whole Cake Day was registered in 2020 by a company called Ichiyanagi headquartered in Fukuoka City in Fukuoka Prefecture. The company operates Patisserie Ichiryu, a cake shop that manufactures and sells Western confectionery in various branches in the Kyushu area. 

The date for Whole Cake Day was decided because the 8th is always positioned below the 1st on a weekly calendar.  Ichiyanagi thinks that the 1 on top of the 8 looks like a candle on the base of a round cake. Hence they chose the 8th of the month for the anniversary of whole cakes!  Whole cakes incidentally refers to cakes that haven't been cut. Supposedly if they are cut they are officially called 'piece cut cake' or 'piece cake'. I didn't know that until today!

Whole cake can be any cake that is whole. With Christmas coming and Christmas cake season already open, I chose Christmas cakes for the featured photo of this post. But the whole Christmas cakes pictured are rather large. Thankfully most cake shops have a range of sizes of cake. However, I am not sure I would be able to eat a whole cake of any size, on any day, not even whole cake day. A slice or two is enough for me!

Will you eat a whole cake on Whole Cake Day!? Or is a slice enough!?
