Birthday cake.

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.
See, AwesomeSpec DEMANDS that the kitchen be sealed off from those pesky invaders, lest they rob your food supply AND harm themselves doing it.

I find it's a bit hit and miss - at some parties the guests eat from the buffet and eat cake quite nicely. One wedding I had, there was a mad rush on the cake, with about 6 guests complaining that people were in the way when they wanted to get a piece. Usually I find that nobody at a birthday party will go for the buffet at all until after the cake interaction is finished. Then suddenly they all seem to feel hungry and I run out of places for them to sit and eat. Just recently I noticed that, even with the Food already available hack installed, a number of guests seem prone to raid the refrigerator. (why are packets of chips/crisps in the fridge?)

What did you have your cake on jolrei? I just place mine on a crazy 8 table and the guests can get a piece from all angles.

Good point. Whenever they accessed cake easily, I used a small one square table (like the crazy eights table or other such thing). I think the problems arose when the table was too close to a wall or tree in the yard, restricting access. I usually have my parties outside, since I don't have Seasons, and the weather is thus consistently and ridiculously marvellous in my desert neighbourhood. I'll have to watch table placement for future birthdays/weddings.
On the other hand, I'm still at a loss as to why visitors suddenly seem interested in raiding the fridge (only since adding Uni and creating a clean neighbourhood). I'm still rather slow in acquiring EPs so only have Base and Uni loaded at present, but with just the base, I didn't notice this amount of fridge raiding (when there was a perfectly good buffet available). My Sims and I seem to prefer the turkey or gelatine at the buffet, but visiting sims go for the refrigerated chips. Hey ho, all part of the entertainment, I suppose.

Next birthday I have I'll have to try putting the cake in a more open area. The two most recent birthdays I've had the cake on a kitchen side. Could explain my party problem.
