× I love to eat uh cake as uh, cakes are quite delicious and usually I eat the food especially on the birthday parties anniversaries.
✓ I love to eat cakes as cakes are quite delicious and usually I eat them especially on birthday parties and anniversaries.
The word 'cake' should be plural 'cakes' to match the context of general preference. Also, 'the food' is vague; 'them' refers back to cakes. 'Birthday parties anniversaries' needs 'and' to connect the two plural nouns properly.
× I also uh, like to eat a sweeter foods, especially ice cream.
✓ I also like to eat sweeter foods, especially ice cream.
The article 'a' should not be used before the plural noun 'foods'. Removing 'a' corrects the quantifier usage.
× I do not have a sufficient knowledge regarding the traditional Chinese cake because, uh, I, I have a knowledge regarding the cakes only of my country, like, uh, chocolate cake, but it's not the cake, red velvet cake, but I don't uh, think about.
✓ I do not have sufficient knowledge regarding traditional Chinese cakes because I only have knowledge about the cakes of my country, like chocolate cake and red velvet cake, but I don't think much about them.
'Knowledge' is uncountable and does not take 'a'. 'Traditional Chinese cake' should be plural 'cakes' to refer generally. 'Have a knowledge' is incorrect; 'have knowledge' is correct. The sentence is restructured for clarity and grammar.
× I I can make a case.
✓ I can make a cake.
'Case' is a mispronunciation or typo; the correct word is 'cake' which fits the context.
× I prepared cake on my mother's birthday party.
✓ I prepared a cake for my mother's birthday party.
'Prepared' is correct past tense. 'Cake' should have an article 'a' as it is a singular countable noun. 'On' should be replaced with 'for' to indicate purpose.
× I loved to eat the cakes because the cakes are quite delicious as well as the circumstances and at that time I loved to eat cartoons cake.
✓ I loved to eat cakes because cakes are quite delicious, and at that time I loved to eat cartoon cakes.
'The cakes' is unnecessarily definite; 'cakes' is better for general statement. 'Cartoons cake' should be 'cartoon cakes' plural to match the context.
× I love to have some desserts after meal.
✓ I love to have some desserts after meals.
'Meal' should be plural 'meals' to indicate the general habit of having desserts after any meal.
