History:
The origin of the phrase “a piece of cake” is not entirely clear. One theory suggests that it may have originated from the practice of giving out cake as a prize for winning a competition. Another theory suggests that it may have come from the British Royal Air Force during World War II, where pilots who had completed their missions with ease would describe them as “a piece of cake.” Regardless of its origin, the phrase has been used since the early 20th century to describe something that is easy to do.
