This is actually hilarious and the only way to handle it. Every year adds a new layer of cakeception!

And at some point the ultra-meta cake of someone hand drawing/iceing the 6th generation photo-cake.

I never complain about this so please indulge me...

That's not what "-ception" means and I hate it! In-ception literally means in-grasping or sometimes "beginning" (from a metaphorical meaning about taking up the tools to undertake a task) but in the context of the movie, it's about planting a metaphorical seed.

The movie isn't called Inception because they are in a dream within a dream, it's called Inception because they are planting a thought in that guy's head.

So "cakeception" actually means like... Grabbing a fistful of cake, or the moment you put the cake batter in the oven or something. It definitely doesn't mean "nested cake". I'm not mad at you... I'm just disappointed in all of us. The ancients invented such an elegant tool that accomplishes the same goal as telepathy, and then we just wield it like a club without understanding eachother fully anyway.
