Distraction Cake Edit Meaning

1.

Something pleasant which draws attention from a situation which could be awkward or embarrassing for those involved. Distraction cake originated in British teen dramedy "Skins" where Emily Fitch produced a delicious chocolate cake, seemingly from thin air, in order to remove attention from Naomi Campbell who was being heckled about her sexuality - presumably as an act to show her undying love.

Cook: I know the cure

Naomi: The cure for what?

Cook: It's my cock

Naomi: What the hell are you talking about?

*Awkward glances and laughter*

Emily: Hey look what I made! (Produces delicious distraction cake)
