editThis funny, but not encyclopedic paragraph.
He is mentioned in the Chin Review of the film The Girl. Much humour is caused by Tarquin's misunderstanding of Jonathan Cake's name - he says that he's "heard of a fruit cake, I've heard of a victoria sponge cake, but I've never heard of a jonathan cake." Cake himself was not partial to this mockery of his name, telling The Times that "my ancestors have earnt that name over the generations - my great-great-grandfather Ernie Cake was initially a baker called Ernie Bread; he only became Ernie Cake when he got the privilege of becoming an actual cake upon the 25th anniversary of his working at the bakers'. How dare these chins add the name of this fine family into their mixing bowl of low-class wit and wine."
