Hello friend, we like your fervor, however there is nothing in the Bible forbidding cakes. Here's
an example of true Christians trying to buy a cake.
Some cakes are evil, in idolatrous worship thin cakes or wafers are offered "
to the queen of heaven" (Jer. 7:18; 44:19).
But on the other hand, cakes made of wheat or barley were offered in the temple. They were salted, but unleavened (
Ex. 29:2; Lev. 2:4). Check out
Lev. 2 for a list of the different kinds of bread and cakes which are fit for offerings.
Pancakes are described in
2 Sam. 13:8, 9. Cakes mingled with oil and baked in the oven are mentioned in
Lev. 2:4, and "
wafers unleavened anointed with oil," in
Ex. 29:2; Lev. 8:26; 1 Chr. 23:29. "
Cracknels," a kind of crisp cakes, were among the things Jeroboam directed his wife to take with her when she went to consult Ahijah the prophet at Shiloh (
1 Kings 14:3). Such hard cakes were carried by the Gibeonites when they came to
Joshua (9:5, 12). They described their bread as "
mouldy;" but the Hebrew word _nikuddim_, here used, ought rather to be rendered "
hard as biscuit." It is rendered "
cracknels" in
1 Kings 14:3. The ordinary bread, when kept for a few days, became dry and excessively hard. The Gibeonites pointed to this hardness of their bread as an evidence that they had come a long journey.
We read also of honey-cakes (
Ex. 16:31), "
cakes of figs" (
1 Sam. 25:18), "
cake" as denoting a whole piece of bread (
1 Kings 17:12), and "
a [round] cake of barley bread" (
Judg. 7:13).
