The cake exists, because YOU are the cake.

 

I believe GLaDOS says somewhere that "You will be baked, and then there will be cake."

 

The song "Still Alive" also has a lyric which suggests this idea:

 

"But there's no sense crying over every mistake" (the death of a test subject)

"You just keep on trying till you run out of cake" (the test subjects)

 

I believe there's a lot of indications that you are considered by GLaDOS as resources to be consumed, like cake.

 

And while the Easter Egg is there, I believe the writers meant this to be taken more abstractly.

 

So, the cake isn't a lie. There will be one. But you may not enjoy the baking part...

It does make sense now that I think about it. Perhaps that's why she wanted to burn you near the end of the game, to make you into cake, or did she do it to just kill you?:pinch: It's questions like these that really make the Half-Life universe intresting; Kudos Valve, unless you cancel Portal 2. >:(
