During several missions you are promised cake. Or at least, there is talk of baking, and cake. Until it becomes quite clear that you are the one to be baked. The message "the cake is a lie" is scrawled in graffiti you can access by rooting around behind a few access panels, hinting that completing the tests is not the end....
The end sequence, though, is rife with cake, and in a good way. Cake is as much a symbol of Portal as are the Weighted Companion Cube and the portals themselves.
