Events unfold without sentiment and without any explanation of the film's title. Masterson, visiting Los Angeles from her home in Brooklyn, N.Y., admits they considered changing the obscure title. "It's a regional kind of term," she begins. "In these small towns, the cake eaters are known as 'the haves' versus 'the have-nots.' The irony is that these characters believe their dreams are out of reach, but by the end, in some small way, they get a taste of the cake."

导演曾经决定说要改一下这个奇怪的片名。“这是个地方性的用语。在小城镇里面，吃蛋糕的人指的是‘拥有’和‘不能拥有’之间的对比。与此相对的是，片中的这些角色或多或少认为他们所追求的东西是遥不可及，但是在影片结尾时，他们都尝到了一些蛋糕的滋味。”
