I ask you…
How easy is it to walk on wet sand, with your feet losing grip with every wave that washes by?
How easy is it to walk on snow? Digging, slipping and sliding all the way.
How easy is it to walk in heels over slippery marble floors (not easy…trust me!)
NOW tell me, how easy is it to walk on a cake?? With soft, sponge layers smothered with whipped cream and chocolate!!!
SO WHAT DO THEY MEAN WHEN THEY SAY
“It’s going to be a cake-walk for you”???!!!
Is it going to be a smooth ride…or is it going to make you fall hard and break your ass??!

Well, a 'cakewalk' is actually a form of African-American dance (more like a spoof on European ballroom dancing). Competitions were held, and couples who won would be handed over cakes as prizes...thus the proverb!! (hmmfff! and it was'nt easy either...people did end up with dislocated hips)
