Someone had to ask the questions that matter.
Spoon normally, any cake I stab with a fork falls off so I might as well use a spoon.
With regards to cutlery, do you prefer a spoon or a fork for eating cake?

Fork. I hate when the spoon can’t be easily cleaned by the mouth which tends to be the case when it comes to cake. Yuck

Yup and the deeper the spoon the worse it is! Agreed

Cakes disintigrate if you try to stab them, and often fall off a fork if you try to balance pieces on it. The socially acceptable answer is fork, but that’s for groupthink-following losers who probably went to college and shave every day.
Intelligent people like myself use a spoon.

Umm, does this count? I carved it myself, and sometimes actually use it…

Butter knife and fingers in casual situations, fork in semi- and formal situations.

Cake is finger food. I like feeling my food whenever possible before it goes in my face hole. It adds to the experience to me, especially licking my fingers after. Very… natural feeling. Also a lot easier, usually. Social norms be damned, I’m not stabbing leafs with metal spikes, I’m picking them up with my monkey hands like evolution intended.
But more important than my love of tactile sensations, I’m just not huge on refined sugar. Usually 1-2 tbsp for my ~6 cups of coffee, if I have coffee, and that’s it, so cake is well too much sugar for me to eat any faster than pinch by pinch without getting queasy. Might as well play with it while I’m there. Icing usually has a great texture (tho the increased use of palm oil in place of actual quality oil/butter leaves an oily film on my fingers -and mouth- that I don’t care for), and the variety of cake options are great to explore digitally as well, prior to orally. I find angelfood fascinating.

Spork! Obviously!
