Sophie Cunningham has revealed that birthday cake is not one of her favourite foods, although the Indiana Fever star admitted she would still eat it. The 30-year-old guard shared the unusual food preference in a video posted by the Indiana Fever, where several players were asked about foods they refuse to eat. Cunningham said she eats almost everything, which made the question difficult for her. She eventually picked birthday cake and explained that while she is not a big fan of it, she would still have a slice. Caitlin Clark also shared her own strong views on certain foods.
Sophie Cunningham says she will still eat birthday cake
Cunningham was one of the first Indiana Fever players to answer the question, which asked: “What’s a food everyone seems to love but you refuse to eat?”She explained that she does not have many foods she completely refuses to eat because she is willing to try almost anything.She said: “One food everyone seems to love but I refuse to eat?“The problem is I eat everything, so that’s going to be an issue. But I will say, I don’t really… I’m not really a big birthday cake person. But I will eat it. Gotta get the thighs big!Her answer made the distinction clear. Cunningham does not particularly enjoy birthday cake, but she is not going to turn it down either.The Indiana Fever shared the food question on their social media on September 23, 2026. The video also featured other Fever players giving their own answers.
Caitlin Clark has a much longer food list
Caitlin Clark had a more specific answer when it was her turn. The Fever star said she does not like mushrooms or truffle and also questioned the heavy use of truffle at Italian restaurants.Clark said: “I don’t like mushrooms. I don’t like truffle, really. I don’t like when truffle is in everything at an Italian restaurant. It just ruins it for me.“You shouldn’t need to put a bunch of truffle in there for your food to taste good.“You can have a couple dishes that have truffle in it, but nah. And caviar, like stop being bougie. Not good.Clark’s answer focused less on one particular dish and more on how certain ingredients are used. She said she can accept a few dishes with truffle, but does not like seeing it added to too many items.The same Indiana Fever video also included Tyasha Harris and Lexie Hull. Harris said watermelon was a food she does not like, while Hull revealed that she hates chocolate.Hull added: “Hate it. I think there’s a community out there and I relate to you. We are a small community and we get a lot of hate but we are strong.“So put in the comments in you don’t like chocolate. I think there’s going to be a lot of you guys.”The different answers gave the Fever’s players a chance to share simple food preferences away from basketball, with Cunningham’s birthday cake answer standing out because she admitted she would still eat something she does not particularly enjoy.
