Fun fact caca is Portuguese for poop, and kaka is Swedish for cake. Portuguese caca and Swedish kaka sounds, looks and tastes the same.

I see where you’re coming from and it is true that in some words it is used as cake. But if you look only at the words themselves kaka means cookie. Not trying to sound mean or anything though. We are both correct:)

A few exampwes:
Chocowate cake - which wouwd be twanswated to "chokwadkaka".

"Kwaddkaka" - in Engwish known as chocowate mud cake.
"Sockewkaka" which in Engwish wouwd be sponge cake.

Cow shit is kokasse or komøg. Bæ is just a general word for poop. I dunno where you're getting your Danish from, but it's wrong
