Cake was formed in 1991 when John McCrea, a Sacramento native who had moved to Los Angeles with a band only to see it " quickly crumble around him ", returned to Sacramento.

The band soon came up with the name " Cake "; rather than referring to the foodstuff, the name is meant to be " like when something insidiously becomes a part of your life ... mean it more as something that cakes onto your shoe and is just sort of there until you get rid of it ".

Brown and Damiani formed the " new-wave influenced " Deathray ; their places within Cake were taken by Xan McCurdy and Gabe Nelson, whom McCrea persuaded to rejoin the band.
