Actually, I have found a flaw in your thinking. Lies do exist. But the cake is a lie. THE CAKE, HAS BECOME A LIE. It is a lie, not a lie about cake. Therefore, there is no cake.
Not quite:

The cake is a lie
Lies exist
Therefore, the cake is a lie, not a cake
It is a lie about cake, not a cake in itself
But if the cake is a lie. The cake doesn't exist then. It's a lie about a cake, which does not exist. Since the lie DOES exist, then there is no cake. If there WAS a cake, the lie would become a truth. The OP's statement is an oxymoron then.

Built by me.

And you better hope...

Not pointed at that imbecile who's decided that the best way to capture the point is to run straight at it and hope no one's watching.
