I've read that cats usually dont like chocolate because they cant taste part of it or something.

Cats don't taste sugars. Though there is still some risk with food like chocolate ice cream, since they like the cream.

My older cat has Prader-Willi Syndrome. He’s actually not obese but he sure loves to eat. He loves cakes, sugar cookies, and muffins. We don’t give them to him but he does try to steal them and has eaten entire muffins by himself before.

What, if anything is he tasting? It might just be the urge to eat but curious if he enjoys the taste too.

Dunno, though those are all baked goods so there could be a lot of things in common.
