As a member of Sylph Alliance nearing his end of term as Vice-President, I can bestow on you some simple facts.
Firstly, cake, manufactured and packaged under it's brand label 'Kaik' by yours truly, is indeed all the things you describe. It's sweet, fluffy and diverse enough to be labelled Gallentean Housewife's Number 1 Stain Remover for the third time running.
But with Kaik, or cake if you insist, comes responsibility. You assume that everyone likes cake, and such an assumption is true, all races and classes adore it, our particular brand is banned from two regions due to it's intoxicating effect. It's this level of desire that presents a problem, all too familiar within our consumer base, and even known throughout those areas our culinary skills do not reach (The Sourlands)
When two tribes go to war, Kaik is pretty much all you can score. Why should we sit down and munch upon that heavenly food in an equal fashion? We're clearly superior to our foes, and therefore during such peace time they should have significantly less Kaik.
Not our thoughts, but the thoughts of certain fringe factions out there. Pastry Pirates if you will. Their aim has been to steal Kaik from their rightful owners, quickly losing sight of why they did so, leading to extremist behaviour such as it's unnecessary destruction.
We provide the Kaik to the righteous, and protect it from these starved fools, seeking out our opportunities to steal back any looted resources.
Cake is real, Kaik more-so. But your mysterious tipster is correct in some aspects. The consideration of Cake as a universal panacea IS indeed a lie. It's far from it, it's the stuff poor men relish and rich men crave. The stuff that the unscrupulous will take by any means purely for it's presence, and the knowledge that they alone hold it.
So I applaud your efforts at the reinvigoration of what tacticians have long reffered to as the 'Cake Conundrum', but I'm afraid to inform you that in this business it takes more than a utopian post to see reason with some of the, frankly barbaric, inhabitants the stretches of space has to offer.
Oh and despite the nobel aims, Sylph has no intention to let go of it's substantial lead in the Confectionary Empire race. Take it or leave it, we're the upper crust of Kaik purveyors.
