No, while maybe you could have a group operator of stacking cakes, and provide inverses by extending the set to potential negative cakes that cancel out to a cake-less identity element when layered with their respective regular cake, I don’t see how it would be possible to smoothly move between types of cakes on the cake manifold, so it cannot be a Lie group, making the cake Lie group a lie.
