The AVEN forum has a long tradition of welcoming new members with cake, it is commonly used to great newcommers in the Welcome Lounge and AVENchat. Since it's creation as an emote, wayback in 2003, it has become an iconic symbol of Asexuality and is often referenced to in Asexual-related blogs and other Asexual media. Cake is also given for congratulations, comfort, or when a poster does something particularly asexy.

How it all started

The cake emoticon was first suggested in this thread on June 23rd, 2004, and drawn on the same day by Live R Perfect. The tradition, and popularity of cake on AVEN had been around for some time before then, as evidenced here and here, at the end of 2003.

The Icon

It is a very common sight on the AVEN forums.
