Eating Cake = Taking Action
It = Resulting Loss
Example: You're in a loving relationship, a total hottie asks you up front for a one night stand. You can go for it, but you shouldn't expect to have your cake (the loving relationship) afterwards.

This is basically the gist of it. In Minnesota, there is a city that most people who live elsewhere refer to the inhabitants as cake-eaters. They have their cake and eat it too. Though this has more to do with the socioeconomic of the area.
Also..for those guys that may be considering this: Don't call it pie. You just won't get away with it.
