It's from the tradition of giving cakes as prizes. People would walk around a cake, and the most graceful would win the cake as a prize. 'Cake walk' and 'a piece of cake' both mean a job or contest that's very easy to achieve or win.

no lol.. the piece of cake that u are thinking off when u look at her is that she is easy on the eyes lol..
as for the saying its a piece of cake it means that it is easy.. anyone can do it.. whether it is cutting the cake or eating the cake it is easy..
there is also another cake saying called.. if u know X then the rest of ur stuff is a cakewalk.. meaning that u have to grasp the concept and everything else will be easy!

Not sure where it came from....but learning to ride a bike is a piece of cake...because it's easy.
Paris Hilton is a piece of work - because she's a mess.

I like to say, "It's a peice of de cake." in a Mario (from the Mario Brothers game) voice. I think he says that sometimes in the game.
Anyway, yes... Paris Hilton is a peice of cake. You can have your cake and eat it too.
