I studied this case when I was doing my exams. Dont quite see why cakes dont have VAT on them and biscuits do TBH.
The reason it was classified as a cake was because the way it went when it was left out in the air. They went all soft like a cake would and not hard like a biscuit would

Is it not the other way round?
Cakes go hard & biscuits go soft when left out.
I say they are cakes.
