[align=justify]Back in the 1800s in the southern part of the US, there used to be dance competitions called cakewalks. The winners got to take home a big cake! When someone gave a good performance, people watching would say, “Oh wow, that takes the cake. They will win for sure." Now, you don’t have to be dancing to take the cake. You just have to do something well or be the best at something. If your friends tell you that your singing voice takes the cake, it means that it’s the best they’ve ever heard. If they tell you your new dress takes the cake it means they think it’s really cool[/align]
