  It depends on texture. Some cakes are way to soft to eat them with fork.

  Regular cake? A fork.

  Ice cream cake? Spoon.

    You sound like a lovely person open to other cultures and perspectives.

      I don’t care what someone does, but if I’m serving cake, it’s coming with a fork. Just like if I’m serving soup, it’s coming with a spoon.

  Depends on the cake. For most cake, either will do, but I prefer a fork. For tres leches ice cream cake, or similar cakes, spoon.

  I don’t think I’ve ever eaten cake with a spoon before, sooo… I’m gonna go fork, myself.

  • Bonesince1997@lemmy.world ⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Save the spoon for your significant other.

  A fork works better for most cakes, but it may depend on the exact consistency.

  source
• Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  Here in Denmark, it’s almost unheard of to use anything but a teaspoon, but personally I prefer a fork.

  source

  • Buffalox@lemmy.world ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    A small fork is generally considered the “correct” cutlery for cake in Denmark.
    Obviously a teaspoon serves the purpose just as well, and those are standard to have.
    And we are not a pretentious people, so many don’t even have the forks. Since they are pretty useless for anything else. So the small forks are basically superfluous.

      I must have missed that memo, but I completely agree. It’s just the best tool for the job.

      Obviously a teaspoon serves the purpose just as well

      No they don’t.

      And we are not a pretentious people

      Neither am I. My preference is purely practical.

      many don’t even have the forks

      That’s fair. I only have them because I got some as a cheap “here, have this too” Christmas gift a couple years ago.

      Before that, I had no idea how much better they are for the purpose than tea spoons.

      Since they are pretty useless for anything else

      Mostly true, but you’re allowed to own specialized cutlery, just like you’re allowed to own kitchen appliances that do a specific thing better than others that do more things.

      So the small forks are basically superfluous. not strictly necessary, but DEFINITELY useful

      Fixed it for you.

  People who prefer using a spoon for (non ice cream) cake are the type of people who make a song and dance out of succumbing to temptation when they order it.

  source
• captainlezbian@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  I don’t. Preferences set one up for disappointment. I simply use what is offered or whichever has more clean.

  Forks for ice cream fresh from the freezer though, they break into it better

  source
• Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world ⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  I’m not above using whatever is available, but the correct answer is fork.

  *holds up spork*

  source
• FuglyDuck@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  This question is why some overly clever and yet still useless fellow invented the spork.

  Though, the answer for me is simple. Is Icencream involved? Spoon. No ice cream? Fork.

• Codpiece@feddit.uk ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  Neither. What’s wrong your fingers, not bourgeois enough for you?

  • Patrikvo@lemmy.zip ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    For starters, we don’t know what and whose orifices those have been in.

    source

    • Codpiece@feddit.uk ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Well I do, they’re my fingers. And I washed them.

      I’m not taking the gamble of using other peoples fingers.

  I don’t have a preference, but the rest of my family has very strong preferences. My mom was convinced for the longest time that I was eating with the “wrong” one (I can’t remember what the “right” one is for her), so she’d always get me the “wrong” one, which is also what my sister likes. I just went along because I genuinely don’t care. Then my mom got very upset one day when I was using the “right” one, cause she was insistent that I always liked the other one. Nah, I just like cake.

  Fork for real cake, spoon for ice cream cake.

  Fork.

  A little spoon (“tea spoon”)

  source
• devolution@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  Spoon keeps more of the cake on it.

  source
• paraplu@piefed.social ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  It depends on the cake. If there’s ice cream, whipped cream, or some other sort of sauce then I’d prefer a spoon.

  If it’s just cake, I don’t super care.

  Chopsticks I eat it slower and thus enjoy it more

  source

  • disregardable@lemmy.zip ⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Do you also cut bites of it with the chopsticks?

    source

    • lordnikon@lemmy.world ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Yep make a few holes then tear it sway for the next bite.

  Mostly with my hands, otherwise with a fork.

    Gotta agree. What kind of aristocrats are we dealing with here who eat cake with cutlery? 😁

    source
• Theatomictruth@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  I almost never use a fork for anything, spoon for sure. 95% of foods I eat with spoon, chopsticks, or hand.

  source

  • BillyClark@piefed.social ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I knew a guy like that. We went to a restaurant together and he ordered a salad, and started eating it with a spoon.

    Normally, when a person does something unusual, I don’t say anything, but I was surprised. It had never even occurred to me that a salad with broad leaves could be eaten with a spoon.

    So slightly taken aback, I said to him, “Why aren’t you eating a salad with a fork?” And he replied, “I am accustomed to eating with a spoon.”

    source
• scytale@piefed.zip ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  Spoon, so I can completely clean my plate. Also prevents crumbs from falling.

  source
• Squirrelsdrivemenuts@lemmy.world ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  I use a mini-fork (dessert fork?)

  source
• Alvaro@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  Depends on the cake:

  Hard to cut with a spoon: fork

  Anything else: spoon

• Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world ⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  Spork! Obviously!
