I know others have brought it up...cake at the end of every map is getting old fast. I simply prefer the maps that have you exit in an elevator...what do you guys think?
Cake at the end?

I don't really care either way. It's pretty funny either way, though I'm waiting on a map to end with you getting smashed or something before you actually walk up to it.

perhaps if the cake had a nicer looking model...
but to me it looks like the worst cake ever.

I was gonna kill the player at the end on my entry for the contest, but felt like that would piss people off, so i took it out. :p
i love doing that

Just give me a cake and an incinerator, and let ME "bake" the cake at the end.
Either that, or a button so I can cause a giant block to fall down and crush the cake.
(No, I am not a big "cake at the end" fan. . .never was. Ugly-looking cake!)

How about my idea.. "Chase the cake ending"
At the end of every chamber, the cake is there. Just before a door. You walk close to the cake, it goes into the floor. This keeps happening, until finally at the last chamber, the cake is on a platform in the middle of the chamber. Fire surrounding the whole place. You do some real hard puzzle to get to the cake. You land on the cake with no way back (more than likely fizzlers will surround it) and the platform lowers you and the cake down into a fire. Where you see your companion cube also burning.

I'm not against cake-themed endings, but I am against an ending where the player turns a corner and there's just the cake model sitting on the floor. Nothing else. Spice up your endings a bit people!
My ending will have a cake involved somehow, but I hope to possible make my own cake. I hardly believe that the super-intelligent GLaDOS, or whoever it is made the cake, only knows how to make one type of cake. Besides, there were loads of pictures of different-looking cakes on her big screen when you finally meet her, if I'm not mistaken?

Just a cake at the end of a map is boring yeah, but we could at least add things in such as it fades black displays text then disconnects.
Although... what can we have at the ending of a map other than the map going black, the player gets killed by the environment, a cake at the end and so on...
We could have a... no wait i might use that idea.

Nothing wrong with cake at the end. I imagine after the initial batch of maps, endings will start having more variety, which is the important thing.
(P.S. Every map ending with an elevator would be even more boring than every map ending with a cake.)

my opinion on "cake" is that it was a really good gag for the game, and people are now trying to run with it and make it their own, and it ends up being lame imo

I'm with Artesia on this one... mostly. Many attempts are pretty lame, but some aren't. The end of Shmitz Chamber stands out as a nice ending that incorporates cake.
Overall though, I'd rather see less cake and more... other things.

You know you don't have to get your porn from games, right?

Porn at the end is classical ending for pretty much 80% of climb maps in cs.

I remember a funny CS map that had a ladder for terrorists, and the ladder for CT right next to it, they were HUGE ladders, and after climbing a certain height the glass was no longer between the two ladders so you could shoot each other.
But when you finally got to the top and went through the door, it was a bunch of gay animations and gifs. -.-

I think the reason the cake doesn't look to good is because it has a ton of rhubarb in it. It also seems to have a needle injector and a guide on how to kill someone with your bare hands baked into it too. 
Not a cake that I'd really want to eat.
PS: The fish shaped crackers and sediment shaped sediment are a good touch though.

Maybe the different electrical apparatus and the entry are used in the preparation of the cake?
