As you clearly stated - 1/5.

[spoiler]1/5. Almost got me. Man that would have been stupid of me [/spoiler]

Why is it 1/5 Shouldn't it be 4/5 since she needs to make the frosting too? [spoiler]I don't see what I'm not getting[/spoiler]

They're asking for the CAKE not the cake AND frosting :) that's the way I saw it
