Birthday cake.
Kyna:
I went the "snapdragons everywhere" route for a while, but got bored with it. I had a snapdragon at each end of each couch, two flanking every career reward or buyable skilling object on the lot, a couple by the stereo for when sims learned to dance, etc. If a sim was likely to spend anytime at any spot in the house, they were in range of two snapdragons. It was definitely overkill. And too many on a lot can cause lag issues.
Now I limit their use to bedrooms (one each side of a double bed, so sims don't wake up hungry and go to work with a low mood), nurseries (don't need to feed or bathe the toddlers anymore, and I send my pregnant sims to meditate near the nursery snapdragons from first bump until the birth), and crafting stations (since they seriously drain comfort).
Tamha:
I had a wedding party recently (before I decided to dump Pleasantview) and my guests ate from the buffet and the wedding cake just fine. Heck, the party ended shortly after, so all the leftover cake slices got put in the fridge and they ate for 2 days after. *shrug*

I find that even 1 by a double bed is sufficient to maintain the occupants of it, and I tend to put another 2 or 3 by the parking bench, where all the sims idle when they have nothing to be doing, and perhaps some more in the nursery zone. On businesses, I place them where staff are expected to be stationed for awhile: Cash register, crafting stations, etc.
Emma:
Try locking the kitchen door and having the only available source of food (ie the cake) in the dining room. They still might not eat it though. I don't tend to use cakes much, but I will try out one on my next party.
Gwill:
In my experience sims only eat the birthday cake as a part of the blowing out candles ceremony. The celebrant grows up, everyone cheers and grabs a piece of cake; if the queue is too long, they forget about it and goes off to do something else. The cake is never touched autonomously again.
